ATV Racks
|
The front and rear racks on the Polaris Industries Sportsman 700 Twin All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) must be able to carry substantial loads at temperatures down to –25°F (-31.5°C). Polaris engineers turned to Ticona’s Celstran® Long Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastics (LFRT) to create a part with high impact and flexural strength at low temperatures.

Control Unit Boxes
|
Control unit boxes made from Celstran protect under-bonnet electronics in various models of the Mercedes-Benz. In the engine compartment, a control unit box protects the electronics from destructive effects, especially moisture. Kostal of Lüdenscheid, Germany, produces these boxes for various automotive manufacturers, including Mercedes-Benz.

Fan Shroud
|
| The shroud encloses the fan of the radiator cooling system at the front of the engine compartment (in this case BMW E38/E39). Integrated in the shroud are a number of transversely mounted aluminium slats, which can be turned by a mechanism.

Fiber Optic Junction Box
|
ANTEC/Keptel’s innovative approach designed SFOSE housings so linemen could access a large number of lines within one housing. The size of the housings placed a premium on light weight, durability, and dimensional stability.

Fuel Cell End Plates
|
Injection-molded end plates made from Ticona’s Fortron® polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) can provide significant cost and weight savings in proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells.
|
|
Fuel Tank Connector
|
Petroleum pipe connectors are typically used in underground fuel storage tanks at gas stations. Carbon steel connectors are susceptible to corrosion, leading to leakage which can cause soil and groundwater contamination. To eliminate these problems, Titeflex sought a material that would avoid the need for cathodic protection and periodic inspection.

Housing of Wheel Hub for ABS Sensor
|
| One of the most important components in all ABS braking systems is the sensor used to transmit data on wheel and vehicle speed to the on-board computer. The housings for these electromagnetic devices are fastened onto the end of the wheel hub by pressfit joints.
|
|
HVAC Fan
|
Commercial and industrial chillers use large fans to move enough air through the system. To reduce weight and enable easier fabrication, Carrier Corporation decided to replace the steel fans in its air-cooled Ecologic line of chillers with units made Ticona’s Celstran® Long Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic (LFRT).
