Hybrid vehicle cooling pumps
Automotive water pumps often use an Alumina ceramic/Carbon seal assembly because of the Alumina's high wear and corrosion resistance to anti-freeze solution. Advances in battery technology are leading to ever more demanding thermal management systems. MTC manufactures ceramic pump components which are a critical feature for the cooling systems. The exceptional properties ceramic offers provide electric and hybrid vehicles with the pump technology necessary to circulate aggressive coolant through the Lithium-Ion batteries.

Truck levelling valves
Air suspension, and its contribution to improve driving comfort, is particularly well-established as a valuable feature in heavy trucks and trailers. MTC Stourport provides high purity Alumina slider valves to a very high flatness tolerance to create the air tight seal required for Electronic Leveling Modules (ELM). Ceramics exceptional hardness offers increased reliability throughout the product life cycle.
