EPS Sensors Application Data

Details

Sensor measures steering torque in Electric Power Steering systems (EPS). For application in the engine and passenger compartment.

Benefits

Arnite® PET allows for reliable solutions due to its extremely high dimensional stability compared with PPA and PA and due to its very tight GF specifications allowing very tight tolerances on the parts

EPS Steering Housings Application Data

Details

Arnite® A (PET) has a long standing track record in brake booster valve housings.

Benefits

• Arnite® XT PET allows for low weight solutions ( 50% less weight) and cost effective (30% less costs) as compared to metal
• Arnite®XT PET allows for reliable solutions due to its extreme good dimensional stability
• Arnite® XT PET allows for more cost effective solutions as compared to PPA and PPS
