Climate protection, dwindling fossil fuels and an increased demand for mobility require innovative solutions and alternative drives. At the same time People are thinking more and more about electromobility. The underlying principle of sustainability is both inspiring and appealing. But even apart from the idealists, non-profit organizations and parties, electromobility in the industry has long since taken off from a niche existence to a boom market. The automotive industry is in the midst of the largest upheaval of its over 100-year history.
It has been on the streets for a long time, also in sold out bike shops – sales of e-bikes are booming. Expressed in numbers, this means: 1.95 million e-bikes were sold in 2020. Shared economy has also long since found its way into the area of electromobility. Numerous logistics companies and service providers now depend on electrically driven cargo bikes, scooters or industrial trucks.
The advantages of pairing metal and plastic can be seen in this application. The high-precision spur gear stage for E-bike motors consists of a metal helical rotor shaft and a plastic gear. This gear stage ensures savings in weight as well as smooth operation and a long service life thanks to the Made in Germany quality.
The “Screw On Plates” sit tightly on the battery contacts and provide reliable protection against moisture, dirt and corrosion at the sensitive connection points. During the manufacturing process, the flame-retardant plastic material is fed to the mold fully automatically and all stamped and bent parts are completely over molded. As a result, the “Screw On Plates” meet the high stability requirements and at the same time are free from visual defects.
