Freudenberg Sealing Technologies (FST) Automotive, a market leader in the auto industry’s technology, quality and service segments, offers a diverse portfolio of products to all the major automobile and commercial vehicle manufacturers worldwide. The portfolio includes a large assortment of seals ranging from our near frictionless dynamic seal, Levitex, to static sealing solutions suited for even the harshest conditions.

As battery, fuel cell, charging and hybrid technology emerge, so does the growth in our product offerings. To meet the demands of these new systems, FST is now prepared and ready ready to support solutions that extend outward from sealing. The electrification of the vehicle creates potential needs for electromagnetic interference shielding and pressure management. For this, we now offer a wide array of EMI shielding plastics and DIAvent®, respectively. The list of our innovations is constantly growing in the fields of battery, fuel cell, e-powertrain, power electronics, engines, transmissions, suspensions, steering systems, drivetrains, climate control, & conventional fuel systems.

All of this is made possible by our cutting-edge research, absolute perfection in manufacturing and outstanding customer service. We look forward to what we can create together!

The Future Begins Now

As an innovative partner to our customers, Freudenberg provides custom-engineered materials and technology expertise to resolve all of your E-Mobility challenges.

Our portfolio on components addressing thermal management, temperature and pressure control, power densities and service improve the safety, reliability and range of electric vehicles. Our DIAvent® component, for example, offers intelligent pressure management solutions for large batteries in electric and hybrid vehicles. Specially developed heat shields for lithium-ion battery systems prevent the heat from “propagating” to neighboring cells when cells malfunction. The patented nonwovens they contain reliably ensure bi-directional pressure compensation even under extreme conditions.

Engines

Hybrid systems and e-drives are all well and good, but for the time being, powerful, low-emission and fuel-efficient combustion engines continue to set the pace in the automotive field. Friction-minimized engine seals point the way forward for conventional drive technology. Freudenberg Sealing Technologies’ Low Emission Sealing Solutions (LESS) help to optimize combustion, reduce consumption and CO2 emissions and thus ensure our future mobility while simultaneously working to reduce the impact on our environment. They meet the automotive manufacturers’ requirements; the drivers’ wishes and the legislative provisions in equal measure.

A few examples: among the emission-reducing engine seals, the Energy Saving Simmerring® (ESS) has become a synonym for high performance with low friction. The gas-lubricated Levitex® crankshaft seal has been developed to realize a nearly frictionless sealing solution for engines. And when it comes to the optimization of variable valve control, Freudenberg Sealing Technologies, with its quantum seals, has in the truest sense of the word made a real quantum leap forward.
