The physical construction of shock absorber bushings include a hardened steel back and PTFE on the inner lining. Bushings used in shock absorbers are specifically designed for linear applications. Shock absorber bushings help to cushion movement and vibration found in the vehicle suspension system. Shock absorber bushing functionality Shock absorbers help to improve vehicle handling …
What is the difference between seat bushings and seat bushes? Seat bushes and bushings refer to the same component. Many European companies use the term “bushes” while “bushings” is the preferred term in the US. Why are seat bushings important? Seat bushes help to raise and lower headrests and armrests, and recline, elevate and slide …
The physical construction of torque converter bushings include low carbon steel, bronze intermediate layer and a sliding surface with PTFE and additives Torque converter bushings are optimized for friction and wear resistance in rotational and linear motion Bushings for torque converters play a role in dampening impact, sealing and providing resistance to shock and vibration …
Belt tensioner bushing functionality Automotive belt tensioners play an important role in a vehicle’s operational reliance and driver comfort. It powers the steering, air conditioning, alternator and water pump. Bushings are just one component in the belt tensioner system, but they are vital in maintaining a functional accessory system and reducing NVH – noise, vibration …
Seat bushings are found in reclining functions, suspension systems, seat mechanisms, armrests and seat headrests. OEMs look for bushings that have PTFE lining, a dry solid lubricant, to enable fluid motion and prevent noise. Cylindrical and flanged bushings are mainly used in seat bushing applications. As the trend in automotive seats continues to evolve …
Case hardening, induction hardening and through hardening all have attributes that help to make bearings long lasting in their applications. The bearing heat treatment infographic below highlights the features of each of the three types of hardening.
Bearings can undergo a number of hardening processes during heat treatment. The following infographic breaks down the heating temperature and cooling rate in an easy-to-follow heat treatment tool.
Metal components in bearings come in contact with other metal or containments, so the hardening process during manufacturing is a vital to ensuring less wear and a longer service life. Hardening also provides the optimal physical characteristics for the bearing’s use.
Windshield wipers are the first line of defense when it comes to driver safety. Responsible for keeping debris, snow and rain from blocking the driver’s vision, wipers have a lot of responsibility.
