German manufacturer Wulf Gaertner Autoparts AG showcases its
comprehensive range of premium-quality MEYLE and MEYLE-HD automotive
spare parts. The focus is on the
spare parts manufacturer's constantly growing truck product range.
Another spotlight item of this year's trade fair appearance is the company's extensive range of repair solutions for passenger car steering and suspension systems, brakes, cooling as well as suspension and damping.
The
company’s truck product range has been progressively expanded to
include ever more applications for the major brands Mercedes, MAN, DAF,
Volvo, RVI, Scania and Iveco. The MEYLE range for trucks today comprises
among others the product groups steering and suspension, cooling,
brakes, compressed air systems as well as various repair sets for fast
and uncomplicated repair work. The focus on this year's stand is on
cooling as well as on steering and suspension and expansion tanks.
As
a special testimony to MEYLE's truck expertise the company just
recently announced that it continues its technological partnership with
the two Truck Racing Teams “tankpool24” and “CEPSA”. MEYLE supplies both
crews with high-performance brake discs and pads. As a technological
partner of both racing teams MEYLE's engineers maintain an on-going
dialogue with the teams' technicians, continually scrutinising and
evaluating MEYLE part performance under race conditions. "The findings
are fed back directly into the MEYLE brake development process", says
Sven Nielsen, Technology Manager at MEYLE, thus emphasizing that both
technology partners benefit greatly from knowledge transfer. To give the
visitors at Automechanika Dubai a chance to experience steering a truck
during a race, two driving simulators are set up at the MEYLE stand.
The
premium MEYLE-HD brand features prominently with existing products and
latest additions to its range of steering and suspension parts – for
example BMW tie rod ends. Their
constant exposure to excessive loads makes these parts prone to
premature wear. To increase part stability and service life the ball
head of the MEYLE-HD tie rod end was increased compared to conventional
designs. As a result, the forces applied on the ball are distributed
across a larger surface, thereby minimising the surface pressure acting
on the ball joint's plastic socket. Specially formulated to ensure full
compatibility with the materials making up the joint, i.e. steel,
plastics and rubber, a high-performance grease also ensures that
friction is distributed uniformly across the entire load range.
From
the brakes product group, MEYLE Platinum Discs are on display. MEYLE
Platinum Discs come as ready-to-install assemblies, most of them also
including the locating screws. Thanks to the disc's unique UV paint
coating, it does not require degreasing and is resistant to rim
cleaners. Cutting-edge paint technology provides for long-term corrosion
protection while minimising energy consumption in the manufacturing
process. Another exhibition piece: new MEYLE Platinum Pads. The pads have been redesigned to meet ever increasing demands on the tribological behaviour of brake discs and pads. The new MEYLE Platinum Pads are fitted with triple-layer silver shims offering maximum performance and comfort.
Furthermore, Wulf Gaertner Autoparts AG showcases six newly developed MEYLE-HD water pumps to fit a wide array of VAG models. Distinguished
by the "Made in Germany" quality seal, the pumps have been
re-engineered to offer a level of quality exceeding by far the standards
typically available on the independent aftermarket. As pump life is primarily determined by the seal ring,
MEYLE-HD water pumps are fitted with mechanical seals produced by a
German premium-grade manufacturer. Unlike the (hard) carbon designs
typically used on aftermarket products, the MEYLE slide ring and counter
ring are made from high-strength silicon carbide (SiC) making the seal
extremely resistant to abrasive wear and ensuring that the sealing gap
remains unchanged even under the most challenging operating conditions.
Wulf
Gaertner Autoparts AG develops, produces and sells top-quality and
quality-certified spare parts for cars, vans and trucks for the
independent aftermarket under the brands of MEYLE and MEYLE-HD. The
manufacturer’s portfolio currently includes more than 18,500 articles,
covering practically every requirement on the market. Engineers at the
company also focus on products and services which can improve processes
within the workshop. The MEYLE engineers have developed around 750 parts
for thousands of different vehicle models and have technically
optimised such parts compared to those made by the original equipment
manufacturers. These MEYLE-HD products are extremely resilient and have a
long service life.
