Automotive engineering
Efficient plastic solutions for vehicle engineering: weight savings, durability and precision manufacturing for modern vehicles.
In vehicle engineering, precise, robust and economically manufactured components are required. We manufacture plastic parts for vehicle engineering that are designed for low weight, good resistance, technical function and long service life. Depending on the application, these become covers, guides, spacers, trim panels and other technical components for commercial vehicles, rail vehicles and special-purpose vehicles.
Why plastics are used in vehicle engineering
Plastic components in vehicle engineering are used in many technical areas because they reduce weight, can be machined precisely and can be designed to suit different requirements according to the material. Depending on the material, the focus may be on impact strength, weather resistance, chemical resistance, dimensional accuracy or good sliding properties.
- low weight to reduce energy consumption and moving masses
- resistance to moisture, media and many environmental influences
- good machinability for precise technical components
- good suitability for individual geometries and technical functions
- economical production of individual parts and series components
Our services for vehicle engineering
We support companies in vehicle engineering with the selection of suitable materials and the manufacture of suitable plastic components. Depending on the application, materials such as PA, POM-C, PC, PP or PEEK are used when load capacity, dimensional accuracy, resistance or good surface properties are required.
Among other things, covers, trim panels, guides, spacers, bearing components and other technical components are manufactured. In addition to cut pieces from semi-finished products, machined parts are also produced to drawing, sample or specified dimensions for prototypes, individual parts and recurring series.
Typical plastic components in vehicle engineering
Our plastic parts for vehicle engineering are used in many technical areas. These include, among others:
- covers and housing components
- guides and sliding components
- trim panels for interior and exterior areas
- spacers and mounts
- bearing components and technical functional components
- components for drive, chassis and technical assemblies
Which plastics are suitable for vehicle engineering?
Which materials are suitable depends on temperature, load, weather, medium and tolerance requirement. PA is frequently used for loaded technical components. POM-C is suitable for dimensionally accurate and readily machinable components. PC and PP come into consideration for dimensionally stable and resistant applications, while PEEK is used for particularly high thermal and mechanical requirements.
Advantages of our plastic components in vehicle engineering
Our plastic solutions help to design components in a functionally appropriate, weight-optimised and economical way. They can be precisely adapted to existing designs and installation situations and support reproducible production. This results in technical components for demanding applications in vehicles and industrial assemblies.
