components their machines need in order to operate and produce their desired end product. The ways that tooling impacts a manufacturing operation are imperative. Not only is the tooling of your own manufacturing important, but also of the tools themselves that will be a part of your own operation. It’s necessary to have components that have been tooled to specifications, have high quality, and will perform under stress.
Potential Effects of Tooling
The end result of your

A component’s reliability and service life are top priorities for wind turbine manufacturers. This is especially true for main shaft seals, which are exposed to powerful forces. In addition, larger shaft diameters have prompted adoption of new, more stringent operating requirements. Freudenberg Sealing Technologies has succeeded in developing a new seal that reliably prevents leaks from the grease-lubricated main bearings used in conjunction with these shafts while tolerating strong shaft runout.

Freudenberg Sealing Technologies’ Topographic heat shields are designed for Lithium Battery Systems. Current battery cell and system development (e.g. increased energy density; ultra-fast charging) has a strong influence on the future safety of the battery system:
This market development creates more and more requests for “heat shields” within Lithium batteries, which are placed between the individual cells.
- In case of a severe cell malfunction (thermal runaway), the shields will

Due to the growing energy density of battery systems, the developers of lithium ion batteries must satisfy ever higher safety requirements. It is especially crucial to keep a single damaged cell from overheating the entire battery module. Freudenberg Sealing Technologies has developed an innovative heat shield for use in prismatic and pouch cells with almost no impact on the required installation space. It combines the high heat resistance of a silicone-based elastomer with the high insulating properties

Freudenberg Sealing Technologies is introducing a new generation of electrically conductive seals. In addition to preventing bearing damage caused by electrically-induced corrosion, the seals also increase electromagnetic compatibility. With these products, the supplier is making an important contribution to high-performance electric drives.
Electric cars with drive systems that operate at 800 volts instead of the usual 400 can recharge in just 15 minutes and produce enough power
