Maintenance-Free Self-Lubricating Sliding Bearings from American Engineering Group(AEG)

The present day bearing materials pose an enormous challenge because, frequently, zero maintenance is expected under severe to extreme conditions as well as under maximum loads. The constant pressure on costs additionally calls for increasing uptime of machinery and equipment and uncompromising standards of operational reliability. Maintenance-free, self-lubricating, heavy duty friction materials produced for bearings of the automotive industry offers bearing solutions guaranteed to operate reliably and safely over long term.
The self-lubricating composite sliding material consisting of a steel backing and a sliding layer. It is manufactured by using a continuous hot rolling sintering technology. This increases the reliability and service lifetime of the sliding plates significantly. These sliding materials can be used with any sliding surfaces (e.g., plain sliding surface, sliding layer with clean grooves or lubrication indentations. It normally requires no lubrication and allows maintenance free operation. It is characterized by high wear resistance, insensitive to impact stress and resistant to harsh operational and ambient conditions of mechanical and chemical environment. It is suitable for rotational, oscillating and linear movements. These materials can be machined to complex geometrical shapes without the loss of the self-lubricating properties.
They possess a high static and dynamic load bearing capacity and are utilizable at temperatures ranging from -260o to +280o C. Extensive material and application expertise covers a very wide range of industries (automotive, tire, rail, hydro, and steel). The dry wear mechanism enables these bearings to operate satisfactorily in the absence of conventional lubricants. These bearing materials contribute to enhance performance and optimum characteristics in all industrial segments.
AEG provides assistance in the selection, design and manufacturing of the bearing materials. Make use of our latest material developments for your custom designed component. Important selection criteria are sliding speed, sliding load, temperature and other application specific influences.

AEG Torsional Damper - brief description

By
American Engineering Group (AEG) has developed a new “Dual Torsional Damper System”. This new AEG system design will allow varying static properties and provide dynamic shock and vibration mitigation over a wide load range for automotive and industrial applications. This dual structure system provides both axial and radial damping. The torsional damper system will have two elastomer elements with top element functions as a vibration damping element and the bottom spherical elastomer element as a noise & harness damping element. AEG dual mode damper system includes a spherical soft viscous bushing hub designed for being rigidly connected to a drive shaft, and an inertia ring, connected to the hub by means of a thin Polyurethane material layer. This dual-layer elastomer damper system is designed for torsional vibration reduction of the crankshaft system on multi-cylinder engine for vehicles. AEG polyurethane torsional dampers are designed to provide significant reduction of sou

Pressure penetration analysis of an air duct kiss seal

By
Seals are common structural components that often require design analyses. In this example, a nonlinear finite element analysis of seals is performed. Pressure penetration effects between the seal and the contacting surfaces are to be considered in these analyses, to make routine analyses of seals more realistic and accurate. Analyses of clutch seals, threaded connectors, car door seals and air duct kiss seals are some applications where pressure penetration effects are important. The surface-based pressure penetration capability is used to simulate pressure penetration between contacting surfaces.

Challenges in the Finite Element Analysis of Tire Design using ABAQUS

By
Finite Element Analysis of Vehicle and Tire has become a very important aspect of a tire design and failure analysis to most Tire companies. Tire modeling with ABAQUS is a very complicated process involving complex materials like hyperelastic rubber and textile reinforcements, large model size, prolonged simulation time and various convergence issues. This white paper intends to help in understanding the challenges in tire analysis and several tips and tricks that makes a difference in the quality of the results and processing time. AEG hopes that this article will be useful to ABAQUS users working in the field of tire design and analysis. A general tire has the following major tire components Tread Belt Region Inner Liner Sidewall Region Inner Carcass Region Bead Filler Region Apex/Chafer Region Beads Reinforcements Nylon Cap Ply Steel Belts Carcass Ply Constructing the structure of the tire and modeling of each component is the first step into the analysis.
