AUTOMOTIVE EXHAUST DECOUPLING ELEMENTS

PRODUCTS

• FLEXIDER Flexible Assemblies

• FLEXIDER Decoupler Joints
  These products are markedly different in design and performance, giving a wide variety of possible geometric and functional characteristics.

DESIGN

Exhaust Decoupling Elements incorporating:

• Metallic bellows designed to achieve the functional requirements of optimised flexibility and fatigue life using modern computer techniques and giving a continuous and flexible wall against gas leakage.

• Outer protection provided either by braid or by solid outer body.

• Damping rings enable balancing out the product to give a spring-damper system.

• F.E. modeling and analysis of complete Exhaust System.

• F.E.M. of the Decoupling Flexible element.

• Optimisation of Flexibles Assemblies characteristics.

• Optimisation of the Decoupling Element design.

• High temperature and frequency fatigue testing.

• Prototype static & dynamic testing

• Complete Exhaust System dynamic testing

 APPLICATIONS

With FLEXIDER Products it is possible to optimise systems for all Petrol and Diesel applications within a Co-Design activity.
