High Duty Light Weight Engine Mounts

For the first time, a highly loaded transmission cross-beam with integrated hydraulic mounts was achieved in a lightweight plastic design thanks to use of injection-molded, 50%-glass-reinforced PA 6/6.  Replacing rubber/steel and rubber aluminum, the nylon design was designed to meet the rigorous requirements of this application with regard to acoustics, crash, fatigue, and high-temperature stability.  The result was a 50% weight savings, as well as in-house production integration at the systems supplier, leading to further reductions in logistics and transportation costs.
