Title worthy!
Our hybrid brake lever has already achieved a lot – now it has even made it onto the cover of the renowned professional journal lightweight.design.
“Our intense development proves fruitful!”
Hybrid brake lever - The trade press is enthusiastic
Our achievements from years of development on the hybridisation of thermoplastics and thermosets were now appreciated with a cover story. In the issue of the lightweight.design magazine focusing on joining technologies. This recognition highlights our progress in integrating two distinct materials to create innovative solutions for various applications.
The hybrid brake lever demonstrates the cohesive functionality of thermoset fiber composites with thermoplastic elements. This lever is not just a theoretical concept but a tangible example of how hybrid materials can be effectively utilized in practical applications. Meticulous research and testing ensured this brake lever meets high standards for performance and durability.
A key advantage of hybrid materials in the brake lever is combining the best properties of thermosets and thermoplastics. Thermoset fibre composites provide exceptional strength and rigidity, which are crucial for the structural integrity of the brake lever. On the other hand, thermoplastic functional elements offer flexibility and ease of manufacturing, allowing for more complex shapes and designs to be realized. This synergy between the two materials results in a brake lever that is not only strong and durable but also lightweight and versatile.
Furthermore, the hybrid brake lever demonstrates the potential for reducing the environmental impact of manufacturing processes. By combining thermosets and thermoplastics, we can optimize material usage and minimize waste, contributing to more sustainable production practices. This aspect is particularly important in the context of modern manufacturing, where there is a growing emphasis on sustainability and environmental responsibility.
In conclusion, the cover story in lightweight.design magazine is a testament to the hard work and innovation of our team. The hybrid brake lever stands as a symbol of our commitment to advancing material science and engineering, paving the way for future developments in the field of lightweight construction and beyond.
