Enough material for 100 interesting blogs. In this episode the focus is on what we are good at: Engines. We discuss the three best-known DRiV brands: Nüral pistons, Goetze cylinder liners and piston rings and Glyco bearings. All three trusted brands in the webshop at Wilmink Engine Parts For each brand, we will highlight one of their many top products.
Goetze piston rings
Goetze is one of the longest-established names in the automotive industry.
Exactly what we at Wilmink Engine Parts are constantly looking for: products of consistent quality, produced by a true specialist. One of Goetze's novelties: the DLC (Diamond like Carbon) coating, which they were the first to apply to piston rings at Goetze. This coating makes the springs more resistant to high mechanical loads.
Better sealing results in lower oil consumption and fewer emissions. So where has been dabbling in combustion engines for decades. Anno 2023, you can turn to Goetze for some 1,600 types of piston ring sets and some 370 different types of cylinder liners. Good for applications in at least 6,000 different engines.

Glyco bearings
With the increase in power in engines and the application of start-stop systems, for example, bearings have to meet high quality requirements. To continue meeting these requirements, Glyco has developed, among other things, the 'IROX bearing overlay'. A material that can reduce friction by up to 50% compared to traditional coatings. This guarantees a life span up to five times longer.
While the other two brands in this blog already delivered impressive numbers, Glyco is about 2,500 types of bearings of premium quality. This divided between automotive, marine, agri and industrial engines. Wilmink Engine Parts has the complete Glyco range available for you.
