Dual Mass Flywheel

Uses a RENCOL® Tolerance Ring to mount a flange with a fixation ring. The Tolerance Ring provides protection in the event of torque overload.

 

Uses a NORGLIDE® Bearing to guarantee a constant low coefficient of friction and compensates for any misalignments.

 

Auto Powertrain Flywheel
Throttle Body Motor Mount

Uses a RENCOL® Tolerance Ring to mount a motor without causing damage to the motor while providing stability during its operating environment.
 

Auto Powertrain Throttle
Starter Motor

Uses a RENCOL® Tolerance Ring to mount a gear. The Tolerance Ring provides simple overload protection in the event of a misfire.
 

Auto Powertrain Starter
Alternator

Uses a RENCOL® Tolerance Ring to mount a bearing in the cast housing. This excellent mounting solution competes against alternative technologies of plastic/rubber boots and glue.
