Single and multi-joint hinges are used at various points on the vehicle and are usually fitted with metal-rolled bearings with a PTFE coating. To achieve a low-backlash system, however, these bearings have to be laboriously recalibrated. Our all-plastic bushings, on the other hand, simply calibrate themselves through the effect of heat during the e-coating process. The result: a low-backlash bearing even with a coarse sheet metal bore.
