ENGINEERED INTO THE SMALLEST DETAILS.
In all our developments, durable results are essential. We build towards maximum strength and resistance to rust, dust, tear and wear, thus guaranteeing the longest lifespan for our products. Therefore, the Sidem patented ball joints combine:
- Durable raw materials, such as 42CrMo4 steel for the ball studs, a selected polymer for the inserts, chloroprene rubber for the dustcover, and lifetime-lubricating grease
- A smart composition of the components with the dustcover combined with the seat and a steel ridge on the ball stud to prevent collapsing
- A cold forged chromium steel finish of the ball pin and rounded edges of the housing
- Maximum water resistance, thanks to the durable raw materials, the dustcover with grooves, and the elastic spring steels for optimal sealing
When installing, the ball joint locks itself easely in the control arm. Immediately, it’s in the right spot and impossible to get loose, for reliable operation.
Safety is always a top priority, especially when it comes to putting vehicles on the road. The combination of materials used, special features that ensure a long life span and ease of installation contribute to maximizing the safety of the driver.
Our reengineered and patented ball joints combine features that have been tested and improved one by one, resulting in a perfectly performing product.
1. Insert in selected polymer
- Resistant to high temperatures, high impacts and high wear resistance.
2. Cold forged and polished chromium steel ball stud
- Maximum strength.
- More rust resistant.
- Less friction, increased lifespan.
3. Housing finishing
- Rounded edges prevent the dustcover from being damaged.
4. Dustcover in chloroprene rubber
- Maximum resistance to chemical substances.
- Best sealing from moist and dust.
- Extreme resistance to endurance and temperature.
5. Dustcover in combination with seat
- Prevents dustcover from collapsing.
6. Elastic spring steel
- Diameter is maintained.
- Maximum sealing.
- No deformation.
