Hood and door hinges require exceptional precision and durability. Plain bearing bushings and stepped rivets create strong yet freely moving joints.

These joining solutions provide:

  • Low-friction movement
  • High wear resistance
  • Long-term functional reliability

Ideal for applications in which mechanical loads and movement must be combined.

Seat frames must withstand high loads while remaining lightweight and efficient in design. By joining side sections to large-diameter tubes using orbital riveting (GBA), exceptionally stable structures are created.

Advantages:

  • High structural stability
  • Secure force transmission
  • Reliable joints even under dynamic loads
