Plastics Technology for Mechanical Engineering and Drive Technology
In mechanical and drive technology, a good drawing alone is not enough. What matters is the fact that a component is designed for manufacture from the outset. Bretthauer combines design expertise, in-house toolmaking and volume production into a seamless process that minimizes queries and delivers components that perform reliably in service.
Gear Design Expertise
Decades of experience in the application-specific design of plastic drive components ensures precise, permanently reliable power transmission with maximum service life.
Metal Replacement with High-Performance Plastics
A broad range of engineering plastics from PA and POM to PPS and PEEK, with targeted additives for strength, impact resistance, heat resistance or elongation at break. Also used as a metal substitute where weight reduction and corrosion resistance are critical.
Design for Manufacture
From the early design phase, demolding, wall thicknesses, tolerances and process stability are all considered – so that every concept is developed into a production-ready component that performs reliably.
Everything from a Single Source
From development and toolmaking to volume delivery, including an in-house quality assurance laboratory. Bretthauer takes over the entire process and reduces interfaces, coordination effort and project risks.
Requirements for plastic components
