Powertrain: Timing Systems and Tensioners

Proven materials and expertise for tensioners that last the life of the vehicle

Stanyl is the material of choice for chain tensioner guides:

Offers better wear performance than high molecular weight PA66
Gives highest safety and durability factor, and reduces noise generated by the chain
Proven in all engines and all models at all major automotive producers including GM, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche and more

Value opportunities from fully plastic guide components

Replacing the aluminum structural support for the guide, reduces weight, lowers system cost and contributes further to noise reduction. Depending on system requirement, single piece, two piece or 2-shot plastic molded parts in Stanyl has already delivered the required performance.

Stanyl is the best solution for timing systems structural parts in plastic:

Excellent fatigue and creep resistance at temperatures encountered in the application
Combination of oil resistance, long term ageing resistance and high temperature stiffness is unmatched
