As the automotive industry increasingly prioritises weight reduction, fuel economy and cost-effectiveness, aluminium alloys have become the material of choice for manufacturing automotive air conditioning piping due to their light weight, high strength, excellent thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. As a key component carrying high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant, the safety and r...
Summer is just around the corner. As we all know, a good car air-conditioning system can cool the car down quickly and ensure a comfortable drive, but we often don’t really know how to use the air-con properly or how to maintain and look after the system. We often find ourselves in this situation: when we switch on the car’s air conditioning in sweltering, blazing heat, we discover that the system...
SAE J188 High-Capacity Intumescent Power Steering Hose Application: For vehicles equipped with power steering systems, used to transmit pressure within the power steering unit. Operating temperature: -40°C to 121°C, with a peak temperature of up to 135°C. Standard inner diameter: 3/8”. The primary material is CSM, which offers excellent resistance to ozone, ageing, chemical corrosion, high and low...
If you hear a ‘creaking’ noise coming from the car’s chassis, accompanied by the steering wheel pulling to one side whilst driving, it could be a problem with the suspension bushings. Today, we’ll take a look at what you need to know about car bushings. What is an automotive bushing? In mechanical design, the connection of moving parts is a common requirement; however, relative motion between comp...
Why can’t you hear the sound of metal scraping against metal when a car is driving on a bumpy road? Why do we often say that a car feels ‘soft’ or ‘stiff’? How is this achieved through suspension tuning? That’s right—it’s all down to the car’s bushings! Durable Car Bushings serve to absorb shocks, reduce friction, extend the life of components and enhance comfort. Who would have thought such a sma...
