Bearings and energy supply systems for car interiors

Move seat elements, rotary switches, doors and windows safely and without maintenance

When designing the vehicle interior, safety and comfort play a major role. Bearing points and cable guides in the interior components should therefore be as quiet and smooth-running as possible. We offer the right product for various mechanical and electrical interior applications and will be happy to help you select the right product.
