Precision bearings keep hydraulic systems running
Hydraulic drives and pumps require precision bearings and seals that are reliable, efficient and able to withstand the most demanding operating conditions.
The focus at the company is on the continuous improvement and development of more "intelligent" valve train systems.
Today, demands on intelligent valve trains include reduced noise levels, reduced friction, reduced exhaust emissions and reduced fuel consumption.
The overall objective when developing valve train systems is therefore to design with reduced mass but increased stiffness.
Schaeffler Automotive's approach is therefore to use the latest analysis and simulation software, including kinematics and kinetic calculations, FEA, topological optimisation and dynamic simulation.
For example, in order to verify the design of a rocker arm valve train, the company analyses the dynamic behaviour with the aid of an equivalent multibody system. Request a free brochure from Schaeffler (UK) ...
