A single press operation seats the bearing and forms the cover plate together, cutting assembly steps while improving radial control.
A PTFE-carbon fiber-acetal bearing flexes for ball stud insertion while retaining the strength needed to resist operational loads.
Using a pole-faced joint ball without a pivot pin simplifies ball joint overmolding, cuts tooling variants, and improves lubricant distribution.
Expansion-slot flexible links and coupled junctions enable large angular rotation while preserving stiffness, precision, and vibration resistance.
A single press operation seats the bearing and forms the cover plate dome, cutting ball joint assembly time and improving radial control.
Bead-formed reinforcement lets an axial ball joint housing keep equal wall thickness, cutting weight and cost while maintaining stiffness.
A slotted resin retainer and spring-loaded tapered housing keep rod end bearings quiet, tight, and free of debris during articulation.
A grip-locked center plate formed with the bearing case cuts parts count, prevents separation, and improves molding yield and joint strength.
A dual tapered seal assembly improves thrust bearing retention during rotation, blocks contamination, and removes the need for grease supply.
Strategically placed bellows protuberances resist rock punctures while keeping tie rod boot extension and retraction forces low.
A central battery layout between coaxial drive wheels cuts inertia, wiring complexity, and width for faster, precise motion in tight spaces.
Recesses on the flange upper surface cut material use while the solid lower surface spreads reaction forces to protect the lower case and rubber sheet.
Pitch-based carbon fiber in a fluororesin sliding layer raises static friction and stabilizes dynamic friction for better shock absorber ride quality.
A press-fit compression ring and lubricated seat spread stress and cut friction in ball joints, improving high-load durability and simplifying assembly.
Metal wire cushions between shaped inner and outer rings absorb radial, axial, and torsional loads in hot, chemically harsh conditions.
A carbon-fiber composite orifice plate uses a wear-resistant inner bore to cut shock strut weight without sacrificing wear life.
Magnetic fluid and a coil vary passage flow resistance, letting a liquid-filled bushing adjust axial and radial stiffness and damping during use.
Double inner and outer snap connections secure the strut bearing under high loads, limiting tilting, pull-apart failure, and contaminant ingress.
A blind-hole ball stud enables press fitting and nitrocarburizing, improving wear and corrosion resistance without hindering pivot movement.
Weight-sensing support bars infer wood moisture during drying, avoiding chamber sensors and enabling more accurate climate control.
