PEMPL Other Automotive Parts

PEMPL precision expanded metals are used in a host of primary OEM and aftermarket automotive products. Typical applications include: low-cost greaseless bearings, high temperature gaskets, airbags, inlet screen and filtration. PEMPL bronze mesh is used as a lubricating material and support structure in bearings primarily for automotive applications. In addition, these expanded metals are ideal for automotive speaker grills & covers, light covers, protective light mesh and decorative applications. Automotive engineers continue to adapt PEMPL expanded metals in innovative ways.

PEMPL expanded metals and foils are the materials of choice in airbag filters. As compared to the typical extruded material or woven material, PEMPL expanded metal saves money by eliminating waste and will not unravel during processing. PEMPL expanded metals and foils are available in a wider range of widths, thicknesses, and open area configurations than any other material type. This combined with the ability to perform custom slitting and edge treatments makes PEMPL the premier supplier for airbag filter materials.

Brake Pad Mesh

Micro expanded metal is spot welded or full welded to the backing plate of brake pad. This type of brake mesh is called steel mesh back plates or weld mesh steel plates. They are widely used as backing plate for medium, heavy duty brake pads of commercial vehicles. It can help provide mechanical retention for friction material. And the unique opening pattern can increase shear strength and pad life.

Air Inlet Screen

Micro expanded metal is an important protective material in automotive inlet system on commercial automobiles and high performance race cars. Precious openings can filter out debris, small particles and guarantee the normal airflow. Micro expanded metal is widely used in radiator, brake cooling inlets, engine air intakes. Besides, it can be used in the bumper, body kit, fender hood vent, vehicle openings as the protective material.

High Temperature Gasket Substrate

PEMPL expanded metals meet the demands of high temperature gaskets for exhaust manifolds.  The variability of the expansion process allows designers to dial in a specific strength to the material for their applications.  For more rigid exhaust flanges, a smaller opening is used and thicker base materials to provide optimum strength.  For manifold gaskets, lighter weight materials with more open area are used.  These gaskets use a flattened product to minimize the overall thickness.  Materials typically used are low carbon steel and stainless steel.  PEMPL expanded metals and foils are available in a wider range of widths, thicknesses, and open area configurations than any other material type.

Cab & Truck Dividers with High Bearing Capacity, Non-Silp, High Safety

Expanded metal cab/truck dividers mainly made of carbon steelstainless steel and aluminium expanded metal grating sheet. The main function of it is to separate the cab, rear seat and compartment in car and truck. Except for that, when it install outside the car glass, expanded metal cab & truck dividers also can protect the car glass, and it will not affect the drivers’ sight.

Features of expanded cab & truck dividers

  • High strength and high bearing capacity.
  • Anti-corrosion, anti-skid.
  • Dispersed heavy loads and reduce damage to the car.
  • Provide sufficient space for the driver and do not affect the drivers’ sight to ensure the safety of driving.
  • Light weight, easy to install and remove.

Applications of expanded metal cab & truck dividers

Expanded metal cab & truck dividers mainly used as partitions to divide the cab, rear seat and compartment in truck or car. In addition, when it divides the cab and truck compartment, it also can protect the car glass, and will not affect the driver’s sight, improving the safety of driving.

Expanded Metal Landscape & Utility Trailers with High Bearing Capacity

Expanded metal on the landscape & utility trailers usually used as deck, door, slope, removable sides and toolboxes to carry trash, coverings, leaves as well as landscaping equipment. The use of expanded metal reinforces the bearing capacity and enhances the transport capacity, and the opening structure retains its shape for many years. Expanded metal on the landscape & utility trailers with smaller openings also can prevent debris in the cargo from falling out, but still allow air to pass through to reduce windage and increase mileage. Expanded metal with classic elegant frame can make it produce greater traction in a humid and dirt environment, and easy to clean and maintenance. Expanded metal also has an economic advantage because of it light weight and lossless production.

Features of expanded metal on the landscape & utility trailers

  • High bearing capacity to improve transport capacity.
  • Corrosion resistance, high wear resistance.
  • Elegant design with various colors.
  • Anti-rust, easier maintenance, low replacement costs.
  • Strong and durable.
