The bellows for CVJ side-shafts are manufactured by INSIT-MASK with thermoplastic resins (TPE-E). The thermoplastic materials have advantages like greater durability, lower final part weight, and are 100% recyclable.
The CVJ side-shaft is a system that transfers torque from the differential to the wheels, moving the wheel according to the movement of the steering or suspension. The bellows keep the lubricant in the joint and prevent dirt and other contaminants from entering.
It is an innovative solution, a component of the upper bumper that aims to prevent the impact at the end of the compression spring metal. The jounce bumper was developed as an alternative to the current solution of polyurethane foam, having the following advantages: thermoplastic material (TPE-E) good resistance to low temperature; high resistance to fatigue wear does not absorb moisture; constant deflection at maximum load reduction in weight and recyclable material.
We use thermoplastic material (TPV), which offers benefits such as increased durability, increased strength, lower weight and recyclable material. The steering mechanism transmits the rotation movement of the steering wheel to the vehicle’s wheels, allowing safe and comfortable manoeuvres. In the case of the hydraulic steering mechanism, the additional hydraulic power provided improves the safety and comfort features even further. The bellows seals the rack and prevents contamination or the entry of dirt.
INSIT-MASK is able to design and manufacture seals for engines that meet all customer requirements.
These are moulded rubber elements used to seal oil in the engine tappet covers, engine oil sumps and engine oil filler caps. The type of material used depends on the operating temperature and the type of oil used
