CASE STUDY
A leading supplier of exhaust gas management systems for hybrid vehicles turned to Radial Bearing for a motion control solution that could withstand extreme environmental conditions, rigorous testing standards, and large-scale production demands. This collaboration resulted in a high-performance actuator linkage assembly that exceeded expectations in durability, cost-efficiency, and scalability.
The client’s original linkage design failed under harsh conditions, including high heat, vibration, corrosion, and debris. Specific challenges included:
Radial Bearing developed a durable actuator linkage featuring a custom polymer race material that offered excellent high-temperature performance without the cost burden of exotic materials. Key aspects of the solution included:
The final assembly delivered on all fronts: thermal performance, corrosion resistance, cost reduction, and speed to market. As a result:
This project demonstrates Radial Bearing’s deep expertise in materials engineering, linkage design, and scalable, certified production environments (AS9100, ISO 9001, ITAR). It also highlights our ability to create long-term value as an engineering partner, not just a parts supplier.
