Automotive Interior

Precision bearing in use in Automotive Interiors

NORGLIDE® Bearings and RENCOL® Tolerance Rings products are used in automotive seating systems and many other interior car features. This page calls out and details many of the interior components with the end goal to make these components safer, cheaper, lighter, more durable, quieter, and more comfortable.

Through demands imposed by EuroNCAP and NHTSA (USA), these products comply and offer tremendous benefits.

 

Automotive Video Demonstration

Saint-Gobain NORGLIDE® Bearings are used in automotive seating systems and many other interior car features. From seat tilting, height and backrest adjustment, and seat structure, these maintenance-free bearings provide for safer, cheaper, lighter, and more durability and comfort.

Automotive Interior Applications

Seat Mounted Armrest

Auto Interior Seat Mounted Armrest | RENCOL Tolerance RingsThe Seat Mounted Armrest uses a RENCOL® Tolerance Ring to aid assembly of the armrest into the seat system while providing a certain adjustment torque.

Manual Backrest Release

Automotive Seat Manual Adjuster | Rencol Tolerance RingsThe Seat Manual Adjuster uses a RENCOL® Tolerance Ring to protect the adjustment lever from breaking in case of overstressing due to misuse.

Video Demonstration

Saint-Gobain's RENCOL® Tolerance Rings are used between the handle drive gear and seat position gear that acts as simple overload protection -- protecting the seat adjuster from operator abuse.

Slip Clutch

Automotive Adjusting Drive Unit | Rencol Tolerance RingThe Slip Clutches use a RENCOL® Tolerance Ring to protect the gears of the drive unit from damage in case of torque overload in the system due to misuse.

Headrest Wing Adjustment

Automotive Headrest Wing Adjustment | Rencol Tolerance RingsThe Headrest Wing Adjustment uses a RENCOL® Tolerance Ring to generate a certain adjustment torque that creates consistent operational feel and maintains the adjusted position during driving conditions.

Cabin Blower Motors

Automotive Cabin Blower Motors | Rencol Tolerance RingsCabin Blower Motors use a RENCOL® Tolerance Ring to mount an impeller to the shaft to provide sufficient retention to drive it at operating temperatures whilst reducing vibrations and noise.

Seat Height Adjustment

Automotive Seat Height Adjustments | Norglide BearingsThe Seat Height Adjustment uses a NORGLIDE® Bearing to eliminate noises by dampening structure-born vibrations in driving conditions. Additionally they aid the assembly process by compensation of tolerances and misalignments.

Saint-Gobain NORGLIDE® Bearings are used in automotive seating systems and many other interior car features. From seat tilting, height adjustment, and seat structure, these maintenance-free bearings provide for safer, cheaper, lighter, and more durability and comfort.

 

Backrest Tilt Adjustment

Automotive Backrest Tilt Adjustment | Norglide BearingsThe Backrest Tilt Adjustment uses a NORGLIDE® precision Bearing to provide easy adjustment over lifetime whilst aiding overall design to be lightweight and meet safety regulations by utilizing the precision bearing's ability to support high loads with its thin wall structure.

Pedalwork

Automotive Pedalwork | Norglide BearingsThe Pedal uses a NORGLIDE® Bearing to provide smooth pedal operation whilst additionally being noise free and offering good wear resistance over lifetime.

Seat Folding Mechanism

Automotive Seat Folding Mechanisms | Norglide BearingsThe Seat Folding Mechanism uses a NORGLIDE® Bearing to eliminate noises by dampening structure-born vibrations during driving conditions and to give consistent feel during operation, whilst simplifying the assembly process with tolerance relaxation and misalignments.

Video Demonstration

Saint-Gobain NORGLIDE® Bearings are used in automotive seating systems and many other interior car features. From seat tilting, height adjustment, and seat structure, these maintenance-free bearings provide for safer, cheaper, lighter, and more durability and comfort.

Headrest Height Adjustment

Automotive Headrest Height Adjustment | Norglide BearingsThe newly developed SPRINGLIDE™ elements ensure smooth and easy Headrest Height Adjustment – in summer and in winter, taking up free play  to avoid rattling noises, whilst aiding the overall assembly process by compensating tolerances and misalignments.

Center Console Lid

Automotive Console Lid | Norglide BearingsThe Center Console Lid uses a NORGLIDE® Bearing to give a smooth, consistent feel of the lid during the opening and closing operations, whilst aiding assembly process with tolerance relaxation and misalignment and overall reduction of noises.
