This design is used in hinges and seats in automobiles, and igus is constantly optimizing and […]
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 […]
The coupling joint, also referred to as double joint, describes a strut with connection possibilities on both sides. Here, ball and socket joints, screw threads or sleeves can be inserted, which connect the coupling joint with the corresponding vehicle components.
