Lightweight design combined with high load-carrying capacity – these are the key advantages of housing covers made of plastic. They allow the integration of still more parts and functions. This Freudenberg-Volkswagen-Development is now used in the Volkswagen group’s most important engine – EA 288. Three components were combined:
• Seal
• Engine case cover
• Cover gasket
Result:
• Two thirds of weight reduction
• High resilience
• Integration of further components and functions
The innovative plastic housing handels its triple task perfectly, can be mounted more easily and fully automatically and weighs just 193 grams.
Worldwide specialists rely on this technique.
And with very good reason.
something that our engineers at Freudenberg Sealing Technologies have come close to achieving with the LEVITEX crankshaft seal.
