FAG Bearings: to reduce fuel consumption of engine
Roller bearings even has a bigger potential in the engine application of: It is now FAG bearings and many customers are joining together to develop the crankshaft bearing. The load carried by the bearings is very large, provided space is very limited, while also taking into account the increasing specific power. Nevertheless, Solfrank still optimistic think that the realization of the crankshaft bearing applications is just round the corner.
Now Rolling has been successfully applied in balancer shaft to control the balance of secondary reciprocating inertia force vibration. Sliding bearing has been replaced by rolling in the more and more developed engine series. The balancer shaft of BMW four-cylinder diesel engine which has been mass-produced (2.0 displacement, 143 kW / 177 hp)has adopt INA bearings. Rolling as a production experter, INA also has advanced technology of manufacturing Balance Shaft in the future, and it might go further in this area.
