Applications

NORGLIDE® Bearings, RENCOL® Tolerance Rings and SPRINGLIDE™ Spring Energised Bearings are used in different industries for various applications. Benefit from our solutions and find out how our products can be used to improve your system. Contact us to discuss your needs - engineer to engineer. 

Ball Joint Bearing application

NORGLIDE® as Liner for Ball Joints

Maintenance-free, low friction, grease-free, minimal stick-slip: Saint-Gobain’s NORGLIDE® is a high performance material for ball joint bearings.

 
Stator Mount application

RENCOL® Stator Mount Solution

The RENCOL® Tolerance Ring makes sure that your stator is secured in all conditions (across tolerances, thermal ranges and loading condition), while bringing a cost effective assembly process by saving on assembly takt time vs. other solutions. It can even help your factories go green by eliminating carbon intensive processes like heat-shrink fit assembly.

 
Tolerance Ring Bearing Mount

RENCOL® Bearing Mounts

Save time and money in your process by utilising RENCOL® Tolerance Ring bearing mounts, while delivering consistent forces on your bearings over thermal and component tolerances.

 
Slip Clutch application

RENCOL® Tolerance Rings As A Slip Clutch

The RENCOL® Tolerance Ring as a slip clutch ensures that your mechanical components are kept safe in moments of overload. It’s the simplest solution, saving in packaging space and the number of parts, but still providing a custom engineered solution that works to your specifications.

 
 
 
Side Door Hinges application

NORGLIDE® for Side Door Hinges

Saint-Gobain’s NORGLIDE® Bearings improve profile hinges as well as stamped hinges.

 
Belt Tensioner application

NORGLIDE® for Belt Tensioners

Over 35 million NORGLIDE® Bearings supplied into belt tension systems every year!

 
Steering Torque Sensor

NORGLIDE® for Steering Torque Sensors

NORGLIDE® Bearings optimise the driver's steering experience.

 
Robotics and Automation application

NORGLIDE® Plain Bearings for Robotics and Automation

Robotic Bearings in any size – maintenance free and without free-play. NORGLIDE® plain bearings support oscillating movements at high loads.

 

 

 
Push nut application

PUSH NUT MADE FROM SPRINGLIDE™

Push Nut made from SPRINGLIDE™ combining a low friction PTFE sliding layer with spring steel to create a superior functionality. Using SPRINGLIDE™ reduces components, noise, vibration and assembly time.

 
Seat height adjustment application

NORGLIDE® PTFE Bearings for Seat Frames 

Saint-Gobain provides conductive and non-conductive NORGLIDE® PTFE Bearings for optimum grease free performance over lifetime whilst compensating for misalignment issues.

 
Powered door system spindle drive

RENCOL® Tolerance Ring solutions for powered door systems

Liftgates, side doors and automotive powered door systems need overload protection to protect them from misuse and prevent damage.

 
Superconductive hinge application

SPRINGLIDE™ as a replacement for grounding straps

SPRINGLIDE™ enables the full flow of conductivity (electric potential) through the two halves of the hinge, without the need to add a costly conductive strap.

 
Linear Motion Bearings application

NORGLIDE® PTFE Bearings for Linear Motion

NORGLIDE® maintenance-free PTFE linear motion bearings offer smooth and consistent movement – with reduced friction and low NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) – over a long lifetime.

 
Tolerance Ring Fastener application

RENCOL® Tolerance Ring as a fastener

Fasteners are used in a wide number of domestic and industrial products from warehouse robotics to cars and from washing machines to toys, they fasten components such as bearings, gears, pulleys and fans.
