iglidur® bearings are press-fit bearings for bores with a H7 standard bore. On the one hand, this press-fitting fixates the bearings in the housing and on the other, the inner diameter of the bearings is formed by that and finally creates the proper inner tolerance. If you measure the loose bearings as delivered, the inner- […]
The automotive thermostat is a valve that controls the flow of engine coolant, whose temperature can neither be too high nor too low. The thermostat can automatically adjust the amount of water entering the radiator according to the temperature of the coolant to keep it at the optimal working temperature, which is important for the […]
In this fast changing time, some technologies may be popularized soon after they are launched. For example, the heat insulation technology is only available for high-end cars a few years ago, but now it was used by almost all cars. When designing storage spaces, quality demand from design and manufacturing engineers increasingly grow. As a […]
