The study of friction enables us to better understand the wear processes of materials, and ensures that our components are designed to have the optimum coefficient of friction. As you can imagine, tribology plays a massive part in our research and development.

Electrification clearly has implications for automotive design and manufacture. Here’s a bit more background on how climate change targets are driving the move towards fuel electrification, and how even the humble tolerance ring can help.

Bushings and bearings: it seems like these two terms are used interchangeably. However, there is a difference. Find out by reading this blog.

Read this helpful guide about roller and plain bearing, linear motion systems. Let’s have a look at the important things to consider when choosing one, like load and adjustment. When designing for linear motion you need to balance load, friction and adjustment effort.

Sleeve bearings contain a bearing surface and a mating component, and its role is simply to ensure linear or rotational movement between the two parts. They are generally self-lubricating to ensure smooth continuous operation.

Electrification in the automotive industry is being driven by the desire for lightweight systems to reduce running costs and also the move towards EVs to reduce CO2 emissions.
