RENCOL® Tolerance Rings, NORGLIDE® Bearings and NORSLIDE® Cable Liners for Powertrain Systems
RENCOL®, NORGLIDE® and NORSLIDE® brands are offered for a variety of powertrain applications as noted below. Powertrain applications include generating, distributing, transforming, and controlling power, as well as limiting NVH.
Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics are co-developers in understanding powertrain technology -- it is key in reducing CO2 emissions to conform with legislation.
RENCOL® and NORGLIDE® Products
Powering the Automotive Industry

Select Powertrain component title below to jump to explanation details.
|  |
| Decoupled Pulley Uses a NORGLIDE® Bearing within the decoupled pulley, offering benefits of reduced friction, maintenance free, and NVH improvements.
|  |
| Belt Tensioner Uses a NORGLIDE® Bearing in an environment of high oscillating movement to guarantee good tension of the belt drive. |  |
| 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.
|  |
| 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.
|  |
| Starter Motor Uses a RENCOL® Tolerance Ring to mount a gear. The Tolerance Ring provides simple overload protection in the event of a misfire.
|  |
| 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.
|  |
| Camshaft Uses a RENCOL® Tolerance Ring to mount timing gear onto camshaft and provide the required torque to drive the camshaft. | |
| Solenoid Valve Uses a NORGLIDE® Bearing to provide the armature of the valve without shielding the magnetic field due to thin material thickness. |  |
| Clutch Release Uses a NORGLIDE® Bearing to help guide the clutch release and offers benefits of no stick slip, reliability and efficient function of the clutch. |  |
| Shifter Cable Uses a NORSLIDE® Cable Liner to reduce the friction of bowden control cables or push-pull cables to help increase life and provide more efficient power transmission. |  |
