Precision sintered metal components for the powertrain – high temperature, high performance

Our sintered metal components for the powertrain 

• Turbochargers – wastegate & VTG systems: For wastegate and VTG turbochargers, we manufacture using MIM: levers, connecting rods, and ball joints for the actuation mechanism, weight-optimized tie rods, pins and bushings, as well as complete valve assemblies. MIM enables geometrically optimized lightweight designs – in addition to optimized outer geometries, hollow structures can also be realized. The high-performance materials used provide the temperature and wear resistance required under the extreme conditions inside a turbocharger. 

• Exhaust gas recirculation & exhaust flaps: For exhaust gas recirculation and exhaust flap systems, we supply bushings and functional components made from high-temperature-resistant materials using the MIM process. Homogeneous, stress-free microstructures ensure durability under thermal cycling and aggressive exhaust media. 

• Valve train & camshaft phasers: Valve train parts and actuator components for camshaft phasers – manufactured using axial pressing or MIM depending on geometry. Soft magnetic sintered materials enable fast switching dynamics in electromagnetically controlled systems. 

• Pump components: Rotors, stators, and bearings for oil pumps, fuel pumps, and coolant pumps in the powertrain. Economical in high volumes with axial pressing, and for more complex geometries with MIM.
