LANBI has recently finished an internal R+D test for ball studs. The intent was to increase the fatigue life of ball studs, for example in lower control arms. During that test several different radial block loads had been applied – until failure!
Specimens with the special LANBI treatment® had lasting about x5 times longer
than standard types of specimen without the treatment.
The real goals that our customer can achieve now:
- Longer lasting ball studs in order to have them performing more robust
- Down-sizing the dimensions of the ball stud and therefore of the ball joint assembly
in order to reduce weight and cost.
