Automotive Powertrain
RENCOL® Tolerance Rings and NORGLIDE® Bearings 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 provides a strong technical support to powertrain customers, knowing their challenge in reducing CO2 emissions to conform with legislation.
Automotive Powertrain Applications
A NORGLIDE® Bearing is used within the Decoupled Pulley, offering benefits of reduced friction, maintenance free, and NVH improvements.
A NORGLIDE® Bearing is used in an environment of high oscillating movement to guarantee good Tension of the Belt drive.
A RENCOL® Tolerance Ring is used in the Dual Mass Flywheel to mount a flange with a fixation ring. The Tolerance Ring provides protection in the event of torque overload.
A NORGLIDE® Bearing is used in the Dual Mass Flywheel to guarantee a constant low coefficient of friction and compensates for any misalignments.
Video Demonstration
Saint-Gobain's NORGLIDE® maintenance-free bearings for dual mass flywheel guarantees a constant low coefficient of friction and compensates for any misalignments.
A RENCOL® Tolerance Ring is used to Mount a Motor without causing damage to the motor while providing stability during its operating environment.
A RENCOL® Tolerance Ring is used in the Starter Motor to mount a gear. The Tolerance Ring provides simple overload protection in the event of a misfire.
A RENCOL® Tolerance Ring is used to mount a bearing in the Alternator's cast housing. This excellent mounting solution competes against alternative technologies of plastic/rubber boots and glue.
A RENCOL® Tolerance Ring is used to mount timing gear onto the Camshaft and provide the required torque to drive the Camshaft.
A NORGLIDE® Bearing is used in the Solenoid Valve to provide the armature of the valve without shielding the magnetic field due to thin material thickness.
A NORGLIDE® Bearing is used to help guide the Clutch Release and offers benefits of no stick slip, reliability and efficient function of the clutch.
