Hybrid Plastic Parts
25+ Years of Innovation in Hybrid Component Manufacturing
A hybrid component in plastics is a composite part made from at least two different materials—usually a thermoplastic polymer and a metallic or fiber-reinforced carrier material—and processed into a functional unit. Eckerle has been manufacturing switch and contact units as well as complex hybrid components for over 25 years. These are used in electric power steering systems for passenger cars and trucks, as well as in drives for power tools.
A special feature: We do not only develop and produce the products themselves but also the automated and semi-automated production lines needed for them, all in-house.
Technology & Design That Drive Performance
Function of the Hybrid Components
Eckerle also offers customized solutions for components in brushless motors.
Particularly in switch and contact units in electric steering or brake systems, these complex hybrid parts are used. We also support our customers in the manufacturing of rotors and stators for brushless motors and develop solutions for processes, automation, and production-related testing.
