Automotive Sector
Lightweight and reliable components for vehicles and workshop equipment
Tecno Plastic machines advanced engineering polymers, chosen as a strategic solution by companies involved in manufacturing, maintenance, and mechanical design.
Our solutions are used both in vehicle components and in workshop equipment (lifts, tire changers, carts, guides).
The use of plastic materials makes it possible to replace metal parts, reduce weight, and increase efficiency—delivering tangible benefits in terms of safety, fuel consumption, and maintenance.
Problems solved in the automotive sector
- Wear and corrosion of moving components
- Excessive weight of metal structures
- Continuous maintenance required for guides and slides
- High friction on sliding surfaces
- Failures caused by mechanical fatigue and prolonged vibration
Advantages of engineering polymers in automotive applications
- Reduced overall component weight
- Self-lubrication → less maintenance, no grease
- High resistance to tensile stress, abrasion, and corrosion
- Long service life in dusty, oily, and vibrating environments
- Compatibility with high temperatures and chemical washing
Recommended materials
- PA6G / PA6G + MoS₂ / PA6G + Oil – High-strength nylon, wear-resistant and lubricated
- PE (300 / 500 / 1000) – Low coefficient of friction, lightweight, easy to machine
- PET – Structural rigidity, dimensional stability, excellent sliding properties
Typical applications
- Sliding guides and shoes for vehicle lifts
- Technical bumpers for equipment and test benches
- Bushings and rollers for translation or centering
- Lightweight yet durable structural components
