LS Kunststofftechnologie puts a special emphasis on slide ring seals. These important components are found in automatic gear boxes, CVTs and double clutch systems. They are a cost effective and functionally improved replace­ment for conventional metal and non-metal rings. Various joint types can be designed to meet individual needs.
Thanks to a fully automated test bench for these slide ring seals we constantly improve the development of the high temperature materials used in the process. During bench tests we evaluate a wide number of parameters and thus can make informed statements about the leakage and friction behaviour or run a pre-develop­ment phase to individual specifications.

Facts:

• Applications: AT, CVT and DCT, adjustable camshafts, differentials, hydraulic pumps etc.
• PAI, TPI, PEEK-materials with low frictions, high temperature and wear resistance
• Power loss reduced design (optimised by thermo-mechanical FEA)
• Advanced joint geometry with controlled gaps for low leakage
• In-house test rig for function and endurance tests
• Design specials for assembly
