The Materials Used in Our Pneumatic Hoses for the Automotive Industry

An Overview of the Materials and Properties of Our Automotive Hoses

Our pneumatic hoses are manufactured from high-quality materials such as PUR, PA, and PE. Each of these materials offers unique properties that make them ideal for various applications in the automotive industry.

By incorporating special additives, we can specifically tailor the original properties of the raw materials or even add new characteristics.

  • PUR (polyurethane, 98A): Offers excellent cold flexibility, UV resistance, and good damping properties.
  • PA 12w (polyamide): Features high pressure resistance, impact strength, and excellent temperature resistance.
  • PE LD (Low-Density Polyethylene): Enables low permeability to water, water vapor, and gases, ensuring high efficiency.

Depending on your requirements, we offer customized solutions that are ideally tailored to the needs of the automotive industry.

Real-World Examples: Hose Applications in the Automotive Industry

Sample Project in the Automotive Industry: Silicone Turbocharger Hose

Silicone turbocharger hoses are specialized hoses used in vehicle turbocharger systems. They are made of high-quality silicone material that is highly resistant to high temperatures and pressures.

Advantages of silicone turbocharger hoses in the automotive industry

  • Heat resistance: Silicone turbocharger hoses are capable of withstanding the high temperatures generated in turbocharger systems due to high airflow and increased pressure.
  • Pressure Resistance: Silicone turbocharger hoses can withstand the high pressures generated in turbocharger systems due to the increased airflow.
  •  Flexibility: Silicone turbocharger hoses are very flexible and can be easily bent and shaped. This simplifies the installation of the hose in the turbocharger system.
  •  Durability: Silicone turbocharger hoses are very robust and durable. They are resistant to abrasion, wear, and damage.
  • Lightweight: Compared to conventional rubber turbocharger hoses, silicone turbocharger hoses are lighter, which has a positive effect on the vehicle’s overall weight. 

Hoses for Control Air Delivery in the Automotive Industry

Compressed air used as control air is a staple in the manufacturing industry and has been indispensable to date. There are numerous pneumatic applications, and each one must be controlled. When compressed air is used to control cylinders, actuators, or valves, it is referred to as control air. Control air is used because it enables high operating speeds and allows for precise and accurate control. Additionally, pneumatic control systems are insensitive to environmental influences and can be used in potentially explosive atmospheres. Control air is used in simple pneumatic tools as well as in robots with pneumatic components. Furthermore, it is also used in the new generation of robots, known as cobots (collaborative robots).

The quality requirements for control air are not as high as for other compressed air applications, since it usually does not come into direct contact with the product; however, it must still be treated. This is because insufficient compressed air quality can accelerate wear and tear. In certain cases, however, the quality requirements may be higher—for example, in cleanrooms or when the process demands it. That is why consulting and a customized design of the compressed air treatment system are important here; we would be happy to assist you with this. 

Fluid-Transport Hoses for the Automotive Industry

Almost all of our media-handling systems are custom-designed solutions that are individually tailored to the customer’s needs and developed specifically for them. We specialize in particularly challenging tasks. Where conditions are too hot or cold, too dangerous, too cramped, or too harsh for others, that’s where things get interesting for us.

Our experience has shown us how to develop products for the automotive sector from these customized solutions—products that, despite their specialized nature, are versatile in their applications. From fuel systems to battery venting and brake vacuum lines to cooling systems: the functionality of entire engines and powertrains depends on the quality, leak-tightness, and durability of the hoses and tubes. That is why corrugated and smooth tubes, as well as braided and knitted hoses, must meet the highest standards. Depending on the application, they must be heat- or cold-resistant, flexible or rigid, acid- and lubricant-resistant, or impact-resistant.
