MöllerWerke dip-molded parts also find many applications in the agricultural industry to maintain the service life of tractors, harvesting machines or soil cultivation equipment. Each dip-molded part is customer-specific and perfectly adapts to the respective application. The dip-molding process enables economical and innovative implementation of complex geometries and material combinations – from robust mounting plates to flexible bellows. This creates solutions that serve both as sound insulation and sealing between the driver's cab and engine or gearbox. A good example of this is the dip-molded part of the month February – the gear lever boot with base plate. It reliably protects the electronics and wiring harness from dust and liquids while simultaneously providing effective sound sealing to the gearbox. The gear lever boot is not a conventional bellow, as the product features different Shore hardness levels.
What makes the gear lever boot with base plate special is that two different Shore hardness levels – a hard mounting plate (80 Shore A) and a soft bellow (56 Shore A) – ensure perfect function and longevity. The special, cold-resistant and soft material in the bellow enables flexible and comfortable movement of the joystick, even at low temperatures, while the mounting plate provides the necessary strength and sealing during installation.
For maximum design freedom, special geometries can be realized as well as plates with multiple structures. The integration of metal plates, wires or other accessories is possible at any time, so that individual requirements can be implemented without difficulty. Whether as a single joystick cover or as a complex gear lever boot with base plate: MöllerWerke dip-molded parts offer quality, reliability and tailored solutions for machine and commercial vehicle manufacturers. This protects both drivers and technology alike – for greater comfort, safety and efficiency in daily operation.
