Glass fibre-reinforced polymer GFRP glued on
Glass fibre-reinforced polymer GFRP glued on as reinforcement effectively reduces notching and shear stress when installing leaf springs made of S-Ply®.
The following adhesive options are available:

GFRP green, GFRP carbon: with spray adhesive (loss prevention) or with 2-component adhesive (firm and compression-proof connection)
-
GFRP blue: with food-grade adhesives
Copper foil
Springs can be provided with a copper foil to dissipate static charge. The foil can be pressed onto one or both sides during the manufacturing process.
Edge bevels, slotted holes, counterbores, threads
For applications where sharp edges are undesirable, we also supply components with bevelled edges and with rounded corners in the desired radius. Slotted holes, threaded holes and countersinks can also be implemented.

We are happy to supply components colour-marked or individually printed, for example with item numbers. Inkjet printing.
