Your attentive partner for plastic pedal projects

Optimizing the production and performance capability of your pedal designs

When designing new pedals and brackets,  DSM is your plastics expert providing service in:

•  validating your designs, finding most efficient weight and performance balance
•  optimizing ribbing design to deliver required stiffness
•  flow analyses to check and optimize production capability and reliability of the parts
•  extensive portfolio to cope with all demands of pedal, bracket and ETC systems;
 -  reinforced Akulon® PA6 for economical high strength components
 -  Stanyl® for wear resistance in ETC mechanisms
 -  Arnite® provides dimensional stability for precision components.

For system suppliers making the conversion from metal to plastics in pedals, pedal brackets and housings, DSM provides the best value

New solutions expanding opportunities

•  Reduce cycle times, enable use of lower clamp force molding machines, create more gating freedom:
 - Akulon® Ultraflow™ makes this possible
•  Higher stiffness in more compact designs:
 - Akulon® Ultraflow™ PA6 50% and 60% glass reinforced grades provide high stiffness (comparable to PPS or PPA) yet are as easy to more as regular polyamide 6.
•  Replace die-cast magnesium in integrated pedal and column supports:
 - DSM value added engineering, our focus on customers and materials expertise and a leading position in pedal systems provide customers with the support they are looking for.
•  ETC modules with the feel of a mechanically linked pedal:
 - DSM expertise and material options enable designs with hysteresis to give drivers the feel they are used to

Akulon® Ultraflow™ for better looking parts

Ultraflow grades give resin rich surfaces, particularly on thin walled section parts, improving surface finish.

High flow enables more complex designs while reducing mold filling concerns, easier filling of long flow paths
