Automotive

The acceleration of change in the automotive industry has never been greater. Manufacturers and engineers face an increasing number of demanding challenges. Following stringent legislations on car emissions and safety, consumers are choosing to buy more efficient vehicles with fuel conserving engines. Emerging countries are driving worldwide car sales upwards, and consumers here expect the same safety and comfort features found in cars in developed markets. This in turn means that Tier One suppliers have to produce high quality components with global consistency, while balancing costs. Efficiency, safety and comfort have become the three key trends that are driving development in the automotive industry.

Meeting the Needs of Our Automotive Customers

At Saint-Gobain, we are working with OEMs and Tier One suppliers to help them meet the needs of their challenging marketplace. By collaborating on the product designs to meet their specific requirements, we are helping them make production ever more efficient, and their products ever more desirable.

NORGLIDE® Bearings and RENCOL® Tolerance Rings are lightweight, high quality, versatile bearings and fasteners. They have low friction values and excellent damping properties to decrease noise and vibration inside a vehicle.

Thanks to Smart Design, they enable weight reduction and bring down fuel consumption without increasing cost. They also come with Long Life built in, by providing constant performance and reducing the risk of corrosion to extend the life of the car.

Throughout many automotive sectors, these maintenance-free and wear-resistant products can handle a range of frictional requirements: axial and radial retention, torque slip, controlled collapse in both axial and linear motion between components, bearing function at lowest coefficient of friction.

 

Chrysler's Pacific Minivan Applications utilizing NORGLIDE & RENCOL Components

Chrysler's Pacifica Minivan

Saint-Gobain's most recent partnership in providing solutions is with the Chrysler Pacifica -- the most innovative minivan in its class with a brand new vehicle architecture, striking good looks and exceptional functionality.

 
Automotive Interior Applications utilizing NORGLIDE & RENCOL Components

Interior

Quieter drive technology and better acoustic shielding decrease noise from outside and make car users more sensitive to interior noise. By dampening structure-borne vibration in automotive interior systems Saint-Gobain helps you deliver a quieter drive. Less vibrating components also reduce wear for a longer life.

 
Automotive Exterior Applications utilizing NORGLIDE & RENCOL Components

Exterior

We believe hinge operation shouldn’t be affected by exposure to the elements. By developing corrosion-resistant system components Saint-Gobain helps you deliver longer-lasting automotive exterior systems. We can also help to banish noise for a quieter open and close.

 

 
Automotive Chassis Applications utilizing NORGLIDE & RENCOL Components

Chassis

Steering should remain as smooth as it feels on the day a vehicle rolls of the production line. Saint-Gobain works with automotive manufacturers to design systems with the perfect steering feel over the life of the vehicle and enable light weight solutions.

 
Automotive Powertrain Applications utilizing NORGLIDE & RENCOL Components

Powertrain

Efficiency in the automotive powertrain is crucial to meet ever stronger emissions targets. Saint-Gobain provides solutions which help manufacturers optimise the increasingly important ancillary powertrain systems.
