It was whilst manufacturing bearings for the US army that Georg Schaeffler first considered how to overcome the disadvantages of full complement needle roller bearings. Back then, bearing designs with rolling elements had a tendency to skew, particularly at high running speeds, and so suffered from an increase in frictional resistance (heat). In addition, the bearing locked easily where clearance was tight. Dr. Georg Schaeffler’s solution in 1949 was to guide the needles axially in a cage.

The INA caged needle roller bearing has made a significant contribution to the development of smaller, more efficient and cost effective vehicles. Even today it would be hard to imagine an automotive transmission system that didn’t use needle roller bearings.

You are a person of great influence. If you could start a movement that would bring the most amount of good to the most amount of people, what would that be? You never know what your idea can trigger. 

“Vacuuming off a rubber mat is no big deal, like all kinds of stuff just goes up,” Torchinsky said. “But carpet grabs … bits of leaves, and bark and bits of paper.”

So while making detail changes to the aesthetics, like the snazzy new cam covers on the Boxer engine or the crisp new paint schemes, the BMW R&D team’s big focus has been on further improving the engine’s performance and usability.

The top three emerging market trends driving the global automotive roller tappets market according to Technavio research analysts are:

Measuring bearing clearances is one of those steps that all good engine builders take to establish a solid and reliable rotating assembly foundation. It can be tedious trying different bearings to put the numbers where you want them, but also rewarding when you get it right.

The words "expect", "target", "estimate", "may", "will" and other similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the proposed repricing of Bearing’s Warrants, the future prospects of the Maricunga Project. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are beyond Bearing’s ability to predict or control and may cause Bearing’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any of its future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, failure to obtain the TSX Venture Exchange approval for the proposed Warrant repricing; strategic, legal, planning and other risks, the impact of changes in, or to the enforcement of, laws, regulations and government practices, potential defects in title to the Maricunga Project that are not known as of the date hereof, the occurrence of unexpected financial obligations, fluctuations in the price of lithium and other commodities, fluctuations in the currency markets, changes in national and local government, legislation, taxation, controls, regulations and political or economic developments, risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining (including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures, cave-ins and flooding), risks related to operational matters and geotechnical issues, the success of future exploration and development activities, the occurrence of any labour unrest, the ability to accurately predict decommissioning and reclamation costs, the risk of budget and timing overruns, potential opposition to the Maricunga Project by local communities and the ability to secure construction financing. Such forward-looking statements are also based on a number of assumptions which may prove to be incorrect including changes in Maricunga Project parameters as plans continue to be evaluated as well as those factors disclosed in the Company’s documents filed from time to time with the securities regulators in the Provinces of British Columbia and Alberta.
