Electric motor isolation

Generate a more luxurious experience by using Cellasto^® to create quieter electric motors.  Incorporate this performance material in window and mirror controls, power steps and motorized seat adjustments to reduce the transmission of NVH.

• Improve acoustic isolation for both high- and low-frequency vibrations

• Effective in both shaft couplings and motors mounts 

• Take advantage of all-in-one solutions

• Design smaller, lighter components that make full use of available space

Armrest, glovebox and console dampers

Pivots and track glides made with Cellasto^® provide smoother, more effortless movement. In armrests, gloveboxes and consoles, Cellasto^® delivers consistent material behavior and stands up to grit better than conventional elastomers to provide long-lasting performance.

• Improve overall passenger experience and perception of quality with smooth, damped sequences of movement

• Take advantage of easy assembly to add friction dampers in various applications
• Simplify the design of friction elements

• Apply to movement in multiple directions
  

• Offer lifelong performance for pivot and glide components

Passenger seating

Amplify seating comfort by utilizing the unique compressibility and friction-damping of Cellasto^®.  Design headrest dampers, seat rail end stops, and seat vibration decouplers with this polyurethane foam to make seat movement more fluid and reduce vibrational transmission to passengers.

• Reduce resistance and eliminate squeaking in headrest adjustment

• Eliminate noise and harshness at seat and travel endpoints

• Improve support and isolation of seating for better NVH

• Replace metal springs in seat tilt control with Cellasto^® spring element

• Design for components that require less space.

Infotainment system displays

Cellasto^® decoupling mounts provide superior vibration protection for infotainment system displays. As a durable, quiet support system, Cellasto^® enhances the utility and appearance of head-up displays and entertainment system interfaces. 

• Protect infotainment displays from harmful vibrations and shocks

• Improve readability by eliminating transmission of a wide range of vibrational frequencies and amplitudes

• Achieve maximum energy absorption

• Count on continuous, lifelong component performance
