Automotive applications

OILES has developed unique and original self-lubricating sliding bearings as well as unit products, and has greatly contributed to lower car fuel consumption and weight.
Its excellent bearing performance and technical service is highly acclaimed all over the world. OILES has conducted a wide range of transactions with automobile as well as automotive parts manufacturers around the world, and has been involved in numerous joint development projects.

OILES plastic bearings, PTFE multi-layer bearings, sintered bearings, metal composite bearings, as well as a variety of other products are used in power trains.
We propose products that best match the operating environment (high temperature, oil, vibration, frequent start-stop operations, etc.), and contribute to lower fuel consumption as a result of friction loss reduction.

Many OILES bearings are used in steering columns, gear boxes, as well as suspension parts, and play an important role in the steering function.
We created a system capable of carrying out an evaluation test of the steering and suspension as a single steering system, and offer an improvement of the handle steering feeling.

The excellent durability and low friction of the OILES bearings guarantee a smooth operation with no rattle. The bearings are also used in door hinges and pedals.
In addition, we have also developed unique unit products such as special-oil-filled seat dampers and plastic parts conjointly used to generate friction in hysteresis generators.
