Focus on improving your driving experience

At Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics, we manufacture a comfortable driving experience, from the smoothness of the steering wheel because of our bearings to the reduction of heat and glare from the sun that’s blocked by our window film.We also make critical components used in the engine, powertrain and chassis to keep you moving.

Interior

NORGLIDE® Bearings and RENCOL® Tolerance Rings products are used in automotive seating systems and many other interior car features. This page calls out and details many of the interior components with the end goal to make these components safer, cheaper, lighter, more durable, quieter, and more comfortable.

Improving the occupants comfort is a challenge in Automotive Interior.Our gasketing solutions feature low fogging/VOC providing a better air quality compared to other materials.

Market Application

The Adjusting Drives use a RENCOL® Tolerance Ring to protect the gears of the drive unit from damage in case of torque overload in the system due to misuse.

Adjusting Drive

The Backrest Tilt Adjustment uses a NORGLIDE® Precision Bearing to provide easy adjustment over lifetime whilst aiding overall design to be lightweight and meet safety regulations by utilizing the precision bearing's ability to support high loads with its thin wall structure.

Backrest Tilt Adjustment

Cabin Blower Motors use a RENCOL® Tolerance Ring to mount an impeller to the shaft to provide sufficient torque to drive it at operating temperatures whilst reducing vibrations and noise.

The Central Console Lid uses a NORGLIDE® Bearing to give a smooth, consistent feel of the lid during the opening and closing operations, whilst aiding assembly process with tolerance relaxation and misalignment and overall reduction of noises.

Central Console Lid

The Headrest Height Adjustment uses a NORGLIDE® Bearing for smooth and easy adjustment of sliding mechanism, taking up freeplay to avoid rattling noises, whilst aiding the overall assembly process by compensating tolerances and misalignments.

Headrest Height Adjustment

The Headrest Wing Adjustment uses a RENCOL® Tolerance Ring to generate a certain adjustment torque that creates consistent operational feel and maintains the adjusted position during driving conditions.

Headrest Wing Adjustment

The Pedal uses a NORGLIDE® Bearing to provide smooth pedal operation whilst additionally being noise free and offering good wear resistance over lifetime.

Pedalwork

The Seat Folding Mechanism uses a NORGLIDE® Bearing to eliminate noises by dampening structure-born vibrations during driving conditions and to give consistent feel during operation, whilst simplifying the assembly process with tolerance relaxation and misalignments.
