Steering Wheel Frame
A metal steering wheel frame combined with a durable plastic overmold to deliver strength, grip comfort, and long lasting performance in demanding applications.
Product Features
- Rigid Core Frame Molding – The inner structural frame is molded from a high-strength engineering grade resin, providing the load-bearing backbone needed for safe, responsive steering across vehicle classes.
- Soft Overmold Grip Layer – A second-shot overmold in soft durometer resin is applied directly over the frame, creating a permanently bonded, comfortable grip surface that won't peel, crack, or shift.
- Two-Shot Molding Process – Both the frame and overmold are produced through a controlled two-shot or insert molding process, eliminating adhesives and ensuring bond integrity throughout the product's service life.
- Custom Geometry & Spoke Configuration – Frame design accommodates various spoke counts, hub bore sizes, and rim diameters to match specific vehicle platform requirements.
- Multi-Material Compatibility – Overmold compound options include TPE, TPU, and soft PP blends — selected based on grip feel, durometer target, and environmental exposure requirements.
- Surface Texture & Color Options – Grip texture patterns and resin colors are fully customizable to align with OEM interior aesthetics or functional operator grip standards.
Key Benefits
- One Component, Two Functions – Combines structural strength and ergonomic grip into a single molded assembly, reducing part count and simplifying your supply chain.
- Superior Bond Durability – Overmolded grip adheres directly to the frame without any secondary bonding agents, making it far more resistant to delamination compared to wrapped or glued alternatives.
- Optimized for High-Volume OEM Production – Repeatable two-shot molding process delivers consistent dimensional accuracy and surface quality across large production runs.
- Reduced Assembly Time – Delivered as a complete frame and grip assembly, cutting downstream labor steps for vehicle manufacturers and Tier suppliers.
- Comfortable Across Long Operating Shifts – The soft overmold layer absorbs vibration and reduces hand fatigue, particularly valuable in heavy equipment and commercial vehicle applications.
- Meets Automotive Grade Standards – Produced under rigorous quality controls suited for OEM and Tier 1 supply requirements, with full traceability on materials and process parameters.
