This rear-differential inspection cover for commercial trucks has been
converted from a 7-piece aluminum and steel assembly to a 2-piece aromatic PA
system that reduced weight >40% and cost 20%. The resin was selected for its high strength,
chemical compatibility, and creep resistance.
Developed in <20 weeks, the system has passed rigorous gravel
bombardment, thermal cycling (spike and shock), dimensional integrity, and chemical
resistance tests and also provides savings on warranty, freight, and
serviceability, plus provides a quieter transmission without need for secondary
parts or sound dampeners.
