Side Door Hinges

Often, the first interaction a person will have with a vehicle is opening the door. As first impressions are everything, it is very important to not let the action of opening the door detract from the look and feel of the vehicle. A pleasurable door opening operation starts with a well-designed hinge.

Saint-Gobain engineers have researched into the factors of a door hinge that affect the perceived quality of the vehicle. Using this research they are able to design bearings that are the solution to the need for consistent feel, not just the first time the door is opened, but every time.

Tolerance Compensation: Torque vs Interference Fit | Saint-Gobain
 
Figure 1 shows how NORGLIDE® bearings can be used to reduce the need for precision manufacturing of the mating components as our unique materials can compensate for our customers manufacturing tolerances. This is due to the thick layer of PTFE incorporated in our NORGLIDE® bearings that can be seen in Figure 2.

Figure 2: Cross-section through the unique NORGLIDE® material (MP048GG) that will perform consistently throughout the lifetime of the part due to the thick PTFE layer.
