Function

The axis of an adjusting unit is gimbal-mounted.

Technical requirements

• Axial angular deflection
• Axial and radial forces
• Axial pre-load force of the inner bearing
• Friction and gliding properties of the inner bearing
• Medium edge stress of the external ring
• Spring characteristic curves
• Oil- and fat-resistant
• Max. temperature peaks 180° max

Profitability

The original 6-part rubber-metal compound was replaced by a 5-part, 2-component plastic variant with metal inlays.

• Cost savings: 80 %
