As an engineering partner for high precision plastic and injection molding solutions, we are constantly working with our customers to meet new challenges, develop solutions and open up new areas of application.
Our injection molded products are used in both mechanical engineering and the automotive industry, and likewise in medical technology, aerospace, renewable energy, semiconductor technology and electronics. Among other things, they replace metal components, reduce weight, improve friction, sustainability and efficiency. They extend service life and reduce costs for the user.
Additionally, we also aim to set new standards in technological solutions by identifying trends with market potential and customer benefits at an early stage, and translating them into innovative new developments. Our innovation focus is on sustainability and intelligent plastics solutions.
We are your solution partner for your individual and application-specific requirements. In addition to custom injection molding, we offer outstanding technical support combined with a variety of manufacturing processes, including in-house material development, compounding, CNC machining and a wide range of finishing and assembly solutions.
With our wide range of high-performance plastics (e.g. PEEK or PPS compounds), we offer a strong alternative to metal in many industrial applications where lightweight construction and energy-efficient solutions are required.
Plastic injection molding solutions can integrate additional functions, reduce assembly costs, optimise lubricants and improve sustainability.
Our competencies include:
Tribology, sliding and friction applications play an important role in many products, especially in industrial applications such as drives, pumps, vehicles, e-mobility or aerospace.
Our injection molded parts made of high-performance plastics, such as seals, gears, bearings and bushings, improve running conditions, energy and C02 efficiency. We also achieve high wear resistance and reduce noise and vibration. Molded parts made from optimised plastic compounds, PTFE or inorganic solid lubricants extend emergency running properties and reduce the use of lubricants in the application.
Our full-service range of support in the development of special materials, product development and innovative processing technology enables sustainable injection molded parts that help our customers reduce the environmental footprint.
Injection molded thrust washers from Ensinger are primarily used in high wear or oil-free sliding applications such as axle assemblies, engines, gearboxes, pumps, power take-offs and clutches. They are designed for applications where axial space and maintenance are limited.
A characteristic feature of injection molded piston rings is an opening in the ring and a defined, non-cylindrical shape when not installed. Piston rings do not take on a circular shape when until they are pressed into the assembled condition.
Depending on the required modulus of elasticity, mechanical strength and abrasion resistance, rectangular sealing and piston rings are developed from individually modified high temperature plastics to ensure optimisation of the dynamically rubbing machine parts.
With the multi-component processes, such as 2K or overmolding of inserts, we can produce the optimum component for you, both economically and functionally.
By combining materials and interlinking processes, additional or subsequent manual operations can be avoided.
We develop and manufacture ready-to-install complex assemblies for industries such as automotive, medical, aerospace and mechanical engineering.
For these demanding applications, we guarantee functionality and design the application-specific molded parts that take into account and compensate for all assembly-specific tolerances.
We have been developing medical components and instruments for many years.
We offer solutions using customised medical grade injection molding material from both engineering and high-performance plastics, depending on the requirements.
Microsystems play an essential role in numerous applications, for example in the automotive sector, in medicine, communication or in the energy industry.
Currently however, complex and costly production processes in cleanroom environments, expensive machinery and complex process steps present manufacturers with major challenges.
With injection-molded microsystems, Ensinger offers a completely new approach here.
The innovative manufacturing process significantly reduces the required process steps. We combine many years of injection molding experience, an in-depth understanding of the individual components and innovative manufacturing methods - for quality at the highest level.
Advantages of Ensinger wafers for microsystems:
BASF, Goldbeck Solar and Ensinger have jointly developed a modular mounting system for flat-roof solar installations in which the load-bearing elements are made of a BASF engineering plastic for the first time. The lightweight material used comes from BASF's polyamide range.
One of the main advantages of the new supporting elements made of the application-optimised thermoplastic is that the roof is not penetrated or the roof cladding damaged during installation.
In addition, Ensinger was able to make use of the possibilities offered by the injection molding of thermoplastics and integrate numerous functions into the plastic construction in just one manufacturing process:
Until now, the substructures of photovoltaic systems on flat roofs have mainly been made of steel and aluminium. The new system consists of easy-to-install, lightweight plastic support elements and sheet metal moldings that are gentle on the roof.
The material used is ideal suited for outdoor use because it has a very low creep tendency even at high temperatures (up to 80 °C) and has exceptional toughness and rigidity even at low temperatures of up to -30 °C. In addition, the highly glass fibre reinforced plastic support elements and sheet metal molded parts are also UV and weather resistant. A computer simulation tool has been used to optimise the components for photovoltaic-specific requirements such as snow and wind loads.
