Lightweight Camshaft Module Made of High-strength Fiber-reinforced Plastic

The work presented here was part of the funded project LeichtbauNWModul - Leichtbau-Nockenwellenmodule aus hochfesten, faserverstärkten Kunststoffen mit integrierten Nockenwellenlagern (LeichtbauNWModul - lightweight camshaft modules made of high-strength, fiber-reinforced plastics with integrated camshaft bearings), with support from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi). The authors wish to thank the BMWi for financial support from the subsidy program. In addition, special thanks go to the associated project partners Daimler AG, SBHPP/Vyncolit N.V., and Georges Pernoud SAS, with whom the project was jointly carried out.
