Selection of automotive parts materials

Automotive

For drive gears, compare tooth-root loading and tooth wear; for clips, assembly cracking and retention; for fuel and water-system parts, dimensions and sealing after fluid exposure. Use observed failures to compare candidate grades and relevant properties.

Material requirements for automotive parts

Visibility & window systems

For continuous meshing, control tooth heat and wear; for starts or reversals, balance root loading with impact toughness.

Window lifts · Part illustration
  • Window lifts

    Repeated window travel wears teeth and guides, increasing backlash noise. Compare wear and starting resistance, then root behavior under reversal impact.

Wear-resistant & low-friction POM

For meshing or sliding wear and clearance growth, shortlist MoS₂-modified EMS102 and EMS162. Start with EMS102 for flow-sensitive molding and EMS162 when tensile strength leads selection.

For low-speed starts, dry sliding or stick-slip noise, start with PTFE-modified EPTL402. Compare starting force, running torque and wear separately for steel–plastic and plastic–plastic pairs.

Window regulator carrier plate · EGH402H

These cases concern carrier plates and housings; gears and sliding parts need separate material selection.

Mounting-hole stability under heat and load

EGH402H POM with 20% glass fiber and molding adjustments helped improve mounting-hole stability under heat and sustained load.
