Strut Components
A broad portfolio for garages
Strut components and especially strut support bearings are an important part of the wheel suspension system, since they carry the entire weight of the vehicle. In addition, they must ensure maximum driving safety and optimum driving comfort as well as easy and precise steering of the wheels. Schaeffler has been a partner of the automotive industry for many years and supplies its strut bearings (also known as dome bearing) for series production and also as complete repair sets to independent garages.Strut support bearings fulfil a variety of tasks
As a system chassis specialist as well as through its expertise in the design, calculation and production of dome bearing, Schaeffler offers a wide range of solutions for various technical requirements. Thereby, the strut support bearings accomplish a variety of functions, such as:-
Absorption of radial and axial forces
-
Low-friction and tension-free torsion of the shock absorber spring during steering and deflecting, so that work can be carried out without restoring torque
-
Guiding of the shock absorber spring and formation of a supporting surface for the shock absorber end stop
-
Suitable for coupled and decoupled shock absorber variants
-
High stiffness with low mass
-
Isolation of road noise
-
Optimization of installation space and sealing
-
Friendly installation and suitability for installation with robots
Noise is an indication of a defect
The first signs of a defective dome bearing are usually reflected in an audible crackling or creaking sound when the steering of the car is hit while stationary.Similar noises can also be heard when getting in or out of the vehicle. If this is the case, a professional inspection and replacement is absolutely advisable.
Repair sets restore driving comfort
For independent garages, Schaeffler offers a wide range of spare parts for fast, professional repairs. In addition to strut support bearings, the product solutions also include relevant accessories – of course meeting the quality requirements of the manufacturers.Incidentally: To ensure optimum driving performance, a replacement of the dome bearings by axle is recommended.
