Durable. Efficient. Quiet.

Our solutions for liftgate drives and door locking systems

Liftgate drives and door locking systems provide passengers with additional convenience every time they get into or out of the vehicle. And the higher the quality of the car, the higher the demand for smooth and quiet operation.

We offer gear components and drive solutions that meet all relevant requirements:

High power transmission
Long service life
High weather resistance
Smooth motion
Minimal noise emissions

Gears of this precision and complex actuators can only be realized through close coordination between design, engineering, tooling, and manufacturing—and that is exactly what we offer at F. Morat. When developing customized drive solutions, we draw on the development expertise of our sister company, Framo Morat. This expertise covers a wide range of housing components and gears made from a variety of materials, as well as complete drive systems. Thanks to our decades of experience in precision plastic injection molding for automotive applications, we can produce complex geometries precisely and efficiently in high volumes.

Which plastic components and assemblies would you like us to produce for your tailgate actuators and door closing systems?

Low noise emissions

The quieter vehicles become, the more discreetly a drive for a comfort or convenience function must operate. This is why we optimize our gears for quiet operation.

High load-bearing capacity

We produce our gear components from high-performance plastics, reinforcing them with glass fiber or carbon fiber if necessary. They are thus able to handle huge forces.

Long service life

By customizing wall thicknesses and using reinforced plastics, we ensure that our gear systems will work properly for the lifetime of the vehicle.

Actuators for electric liftgate drives

Our actuators for electric liftgate drives fulfil the highest demands for technology and comfort. The precise design of the components used in the actuator means that huge lever forces can be managed efficiently, while also guaranteeing the reliable, harmonious motion of the liftgate. Robust, glass fire-reinforced plastics for the components in a liftgate drive and customized wall thicknesses of the housing parts help ensure a long service life and low susceptibility to wear. Our plastic components are the key to producing actuators that stand out due to their special performance:

Precise motion control
Exact positioning
High service life
Low weight
Cost-optimized production

We design the gear components and housings for actuators specifically for the desired vehicle models, manufacture the complex injection molds, and produce your components through efficient mass production.

Technical housing parts for door locking systems

The housing plays a central role in every drive system, as it brings the individual gear components together and integrates their function into the vehicle. The housing components for door closing systems are designed for noise-optimized functionality as well as maximum robustness and weather resistance to meet the high safety requirements for automotive doors.
As an experienced partner for technical housing components with complex geometries, we offer you:

High design flexibility
Precise motion control
High durability
High weather resistance
Economic production

By closely harmonizing the design and production processes, we can fulfil your specific requirements exactly – piece by piece, with the highest possible level of automation and at optimized unit cost.
