Backlash-free multi-link hinges with self-calibrating plain bearings
The production of multi-joint hinges for spoiler kinematics and top can be expensive. With a Igus bearings An economical and technically superior design is possible from tribologically optimized plastic. The new Iglidur F300 is even electrically conductive and can calibrate itself and prevent corrosion using the cathodic dip painting (KTL) process.
Sensor box for position detection of electric monorails
Schmersal represents a new one Magnetic track sensor box for the position detection of electric monorails in intralogistics and Automotive industry before. So far, wear-free magnetic switches have been used here, where they monitor the speed and position of moving machine parts. Such electric monorail systems transport body parts. a. to the assembly workstations. The SSB-R can now do that too.
Sustainable thermoplastics digitized for the automotive industry
Sumika Polymer Compounds Europe (SPC Europe) and Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence are working together to digitize the performance of new sustainable thermoplastics (PP) for the automotive industry. Based on the new multiscale technology for material modeling of thermoplastics, engineers can develop recyclable components and thus reduce the carbon footprint of future vehicles.
