Automotive parts, especially function parts, have so far been made mainly of steel. We have started replacing steel with plastic also in such parts.
Combining steel and plastic makes it possible to meet a variety of needs.
All-out use of flow analysis to arrive at an optimum design.
Typical parts
Product name and application
Oil temperature sensor
(temperature control sensor for AT oil)
