Crash Tube
The Felss crash tubes enable the controlled conversion of crash energy through defined deformation.
Affordable Material and New Processing Strategies
The camshaft serves the purpose of opening the input and output valves in accordance with design-related control times. In the process, the shaft rotates on its own axis and, as a result of the cams attached to it, this rotational movement is repeatedly converted into a short longitudinal movement.
This Felss camshaft was developed together with a customers, and active cylinder management was realized in a large series four cylinder engine for the first time. When less power is required, the active cylinder management of the vehicle therefore changes automatically to a mode in which only two cylinders work. This automatically increases efficiency and reduces fuel consumption. The car thus saves 15 % fuel on average.
Added value
Lighter
Weight of the shaft reduced from 5.2 to 3.3 kg.
Stronger
Ten times the fatigue strength of conventionally produced components.
Resource Efficient
15 % lower fuel consumption.
More Precise
Highest Precision: Production tolerance of 1/10 mm.
