Bonded Pistons
Pistons are essential components of complex systems such as automatic transmission or switchable water pump, converting hydraulic pressure into linear motion. Thanks to Hutchinson extensive know-how on material and adhesion systems, overmolded pistons offer optimum performance and reliability while maintaining a compact design.
