As the trend for electrification gathers pace, the number of applications that require elastomer O-rings is increasing exponentially. Alongside crucial roles in gear and clutch systems, anti-lock braking systems, power steering, shock absorbers, fuel pumps, solenoid valves, and battery and cooling systems, you can now add Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), fuel cells, sensors, and electrified braking, connection and powertrain systems. Datwyler not only offers materials and components with abrasion-optimized compounds and high- and low-temperature resistance, but also a range of surface treatments to improve your production and assembly processes, as well as the efficiency of your application.
