Overview on our Core Segments
Miba sintered components are high-precision and
high-strength parts. They are used in engines,
transmissions, steerings, brakes and shock absorbers
of passenger vehicles.
Miba bearings support crankshafts in diesel and gasoline
engines of heavy commercial vehicles, locomotives,
power plants and ships. Their quality and reliability is
critical to the functioning and durability of the engine.
Miba friction materials determine the performance
of clutches and brakes. They are used in construction
machines, tractors, trucks, cars, high-speed trains,
motorcycles, aircrafts and wind turbines.
High-performance components for power
electronics are a key to more efficient power trains
as well as to the efficient and effective use of
regenerative energy sources.
Miba Automation Systems is a specialist for µm-
accurate, automated machining and positioning as
well as for mobile processing of large components.
Miba coatings are used in components for engines,
transmissions and other high-stress applications.
They improve performance and energy efficiency and
also save costs.
