ACL Aluglide is the new generation engine bearings that go the distance...and then some!
Aluminium Tin materials have been around since the 1960’s. It has traditionally been the choice of Japanese and European manufacturers for low load, gas, passenger cars. As the loads developed by high horsepower late model engines increased so too did the need for a stronger bearing material. Copper Lead Trimetal bearings have been the answer for higher load applications, but as the world becomes more environmentally conscious, the need for lead free engine components has increased, without sacrificing the load carrying capacity required for modern engines. The addition of Silicon as analloying element to the Aluminium Tin family of bearing materials has elevated it to the next generation of performance materials. This is currently the choice of most OE manufacturersas the global mandate to have Lead free vehicles is enforced. An added benefit of the Aluminium Tin Silicon bearings is the excellent wear resistance properties, extending the service lifeof these parts.
Smooth and clean Aluglide is superior all the way.
