Automotive IndustryInnovative Sealing &

Polymer Solutions

E n g i n e sDevelopments in internal combustion engine (ICE) technology are influenced by a variety of global trends. Many of them require engines to feature increased efficiency, fuel economy and reduced emissions. Our solutions are used in variable valve timing (VVT), belt tensioners, throttle bodies and fuel pumps. Our components feature low friction, sealing, dampening properties, simplified assembly and reduced weight.

Our Solutions:• Meldin® Bearings and Bushes• Meldin® HT Injection Molded Gears and Gerotors• Meldin® Seal Rings• OmniSeal® Shaft Seals

T r a n s m i s s i o n sIncreased efficiency is also one of the main trends in transmission developments. Our solutions are used in several transmission types as well as clutches and dual mass flywheels. We specialize in designing innovative solutions that reduce leakage, drag losses and component wear.

Our Solutions:• Meldin® HT Seal Rings• Meldin® 7000 and Meldin® HT Thrust Washers• Meldin® HT Precision Components

B r a k i n g S y s t e m sToday's braking systems offer more than just braking. Brake assist systems are one of the more recent developments where our sealing solutions are used to deliver lower friction and sealing, providing a lightweight solution compared to materials previously used.

Our Solutions:• Meldin® HT Injection Molded Components • Meldin® Brake Wear Sensors

E m i s s i o n C o n t r o lDue to future emission requirements, the automotive industry continues to focus on solutions to reduce emissions (e.g., CO2). With our decades of experience in innovative sealing solutions, we provide custom components for a wide variety of solenoid valve applications, including solenoids used in exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), Air Recirculation and Secondary Air Valve Systems.
