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.

Focused Engineering Solutions by AEG

By
Focused Engineering Solutions for the Manufacturing Supply Chain by American Engineering Group Computer-Aided Design, Engineering and Manufacturing (CAD/CAE/CAM) are tools that help reduce costs and shorten the design, prototype and production cycle. These computer-aided tools can also help to incorporate Six Sigma, Lean manufacturing and Just-In-Time (JIT) in the supplier processes bringing credibility to new design concepts. American Engineering Group (AEG) is utilizing these tools to provide a Multisourcing Manufacturing Solution (MMS) by bringing new automotive components to the marketplace in the shortest possible time, with the lowest cost, and highest quality. CAD/CAE/CAM are becoming more popular as a standard analysis tools in the automotive industry for design, failure and manufacturing process analyses. Another notable reason for this popularity is the recent changes in automotive specification requirement for parts comprised of new materials or designs. The automotive ind

Self-contact in rubber/foam components: jounce bumper

By
Components that deform and change their shape substantially can fold and have different parts of the surface come into contact with each other. In such cases it can be difficult to predict at the outset of the analysis where such contact may occur and, therefore, it can be difficult to define two independent surfaces to make up a contact pair. A jounce bumper, sometimes referred to as a “helper spring,” is a highly compressible component that is used as part of the shock isolation system in a vehicle. It is typically located above the coil spring that connects the wheels to the frame. Microcellular material is used because of its high compressibility and low Poisson's ratio value at all but fully compressed configurations. The bumper initially sits against a fixed flat rigid surface on one end; on the other end, another flat rigid surface is used to model the compression of the bumper. The geometry of the bumper is such that it folds in three different locations. Separate surfaces
