Interior

NORGLIDE? Bearings and RENCOL? Tolerance Rings products are used in automotive seating systems and many other interior car features. This page calls out and details many of the interior components with the end goal to make these components safer, cheaper, lighter, more durable, quieter, and more comfortable.

Improving the occupants comfort is a challenge in Automotive Interior.Our gasketing solutions feature low fogging/VOC providing a better air quality compared to other materials.

Market Application

The Adjusting Drives use a RENCOL? Tolerance Ring to protect the gears of the drive unit from damage in case of torque overload in the system due to misuse.

Adjusting Drive

The Backrest Tilt Adjustment uses a NORGLIDE? Precision Bearing to provide easy adjustment over lifetime whilst aiding overall design to be lightweight and meet safety regulations by utilizing the precision bearing's ability to support high loads with its thin wall structure.
