Lead screw support in lumbar adjustment

Current trends in the automotive industry call for new, dynamic interior concepts with a greater focus on the comfort of vehicle occupants. A comfort component in the seat is the electric lumbar adjustment: by supporting the lumbar vertebrae, it helps to maintain an upright posture, relieve the muscles and prevent back pain. In the drive for the individual adjustment of the backrest contour, iglidur plain bearings ensure noise minimisation and smooth operation. Optimised for friction and wear, they have a low sliding friction coefficient and a long service life. Thanks to the solid lubricants contained in the material, the effort and cost of additional lubrication are eliminated.

• What is needed: thrust washers for lead screw support in the drive
• Requirements: noise minimisation, smooth operation, corrosion-free, low fogging, high load capacity with high p x v-value = 1, low weight, low coefficient of friction, matched to mating partners made of POM and PP GF30
• Suitable products: thrust washers iglidur W300
• Success for the customer: the thrust washers are a cost-effective and smoother-running alternative for axial ball bearings
