Design, Development and Testing: The Perfect Combination Future-oriented and competent: HOERBIGER technology stands out as a result of its design, simulation, construction and testing. Tribological designs Development of friction linings Design and computation of synchronizer systems Finite element calculation and dynamic simulation System layout and development Vehicle, transmission and component testing Perfect Mastery of tribological Friction Systems Tribological expertise is the foundation for the optimal design of HOERBIGER synchronizer friction systems. The friction materials form the basis for the development of efficient systems. They decisively influence the shifting behavior as well as the performance and durability of the systems. Future-oriented testing HOERBIGER has extensive testing facilities at its disposal for testing new systems: Tribometer Synchronization test stands Torsional and linear pulsers Transmission test stands Drive train test stands Shift simulator In-vehicle shifting comfort measurements
Excellent and reliable: Solutions for Double-Clutch and Manual Transmissions As the largest independent manufacturer of synchronizer systems in the world, HOERBIGER supplies components and systems for all types of manual transmissions, double-clutch transmissions, and automated manual transmissions. Single-cone synchronizer systems Double-cone synchronizer systems Triple-cone synchronizer systems Synchronizer hubs Synchronizer sliding sleeves Clutch disks with and without cone Superior Shift Quality The use of modern development tools, in conjunction with efficient production facilities under one roof, allows HOERBIGER to develop tailor-made customer solutions for any application. The products are used by almost all known OEM and transmission manufacturers around the world in high volume production. Given the modular design of the friction systems, an upgrade from a single-cone synchronizer system to a multi-cone synchronizer system is an easy feat and leaves the installation space largely unchanged with unimpaired flexibility in the selection of the lining.
