The end cap is part of a transmission oil pump that lubricates the automatic transmission in various hybrid vehicles and initiates gear changes. The originally chosen aluminum die casting process has a considerable potential for error.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]In order to realize the functions in the cover, the die casting must then be mechanically processed. The casting skin is opened during this machining process. If the casting exhibits process-related porosity at this point, the pump will end up leaking and the risk of leakage will increase.<\/p>\n

In addition, the manufacturing process in die casting is particularly cost-intensive with a high proportion of mechanical processing. The technology-related short tool life compared to plastic also significantly increases the total cost of ownership.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#32404a” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”100px” top_padding_tablet=”70px” top_padding_phone=”50px” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” id=”details” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”scroll_pos_advanced” animation_trigger_offset=”0.00,65.00″ animation_start_scale=”0.45″ bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default” animation_adv_start_end=”start”][nectar_image_with_hotspots image=”3163″ preview=”https:\/\/www.gaudlitz-hub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ghub-case-endshield-0013-100-korr-16-10-scaled.jpg” color_1=”Accent-Color” hotspot_icon=”plus_sign” tooltip=”click” tooltip_shadow=”small_depth” animation=”true”][nectar_hotspot left=”26.731294661622528%” top=”33.37954879895835%” position=”top”]Sealing surface to the pump housing.

# Hidden Champion DuroPlast\u00ae<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Duroplast as a better alternative to die-cast aluminum.” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%2332404a” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”60px” custom_height_tablet=”40px” custom_height_phone=”30px”][vc_column_text]Despite all the lightweight construction and economic efficiency efforts in the automotive segment, the majority of components in vehicles are still made of metal or thermoplastics. This is often due to a lack of knowledge in process and testing technology, as the characteristic thermoset properties are only created by the complex cross-linking process in the injection mold.<\/p>\n

With an experienced partner like the GAUDLITZ HUB, you can translate these opportunities into a production-ready manufacturing concept that gives you a tangible advantage over your competitors. Especially in media-tight metal substitution or in the immediate engine compartment environment, thermosets are ideal for producing a resistant, compact and lightweight component.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#a7da20″ scene_position=”center” top_padding=”150px” constrain_group_1=”yes” bottom_padding=”150px” top_padding_tablet=”120px” constrain_group_3=”yes” bottom_padding_tablet=”120px” top_padding_phone=”100px” constrain_group_5=”yes” bottom_padding_phone=”100px” text_color=”light” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” enable_gradient=”true” color_overlay=”#a7da20″ color_overlay_2=”#00b0df” overlay_strength=”1″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default” offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6″][vc_column_text el_class=”intro-title blau”]\n
