Stewart Davies, Senior Application Engineer at Schaeffler (UK) Ltd comments: “The automotive industry today is under increasing pressure to produce more fuel-efficient vehicles with lower CO2 emissions. One method of achieving this is to improve the fuel consumption of the vehicle by reducing friction across the complete drive train. This means reducing the weight of the overall vehicle by reducing the weight of individual components.”

The HF, HFL and FRAX series of drawn cup roller clutches are particularly popular in bicycle applications. HF one-way clutches have an extremely compact design but have no bearing supports and so can only transmit torques. HFL series one-way clutches can also support radial forces due to the integral plain or rolling bearings. Both one-way clutch series are suitable for aluminium housings. Roller clutches with a knurled outside surface have the suffix ‘R’ and are suitable for use with plastic housings.

Not that using the smooth-shifting six-speed shaft-drive transmission is at all onerous, because the hydraulically operated eight-plate slipper clutch now fitted as standard has a light lever action that makes riding the R1250GS in traffic not at all tiring for your left hand, and the shift action of the gearbox is precise and smooth. It doesn’t seem like a shaft-drive transmission in use, with not a trace of a clunk to be heard. That’s perhaps because the gearbox and clutch are now integrated into the engine crankcase, rather than in a separate bolted on housing as before. BMW says this not only helps save both space and weight, but that they’ve also improved the way in which the new Boxer engine shifts gear—and I definitely noticed that.

The Supplier Award 2017 for Achievement in Quality is the third Toyota Motor Europe award presented to NSK Needle Bearing Poland, with the other awards being in 2008 and 2014. Winning the award is based on a number of KPIs (key performance indicators), including PPM (parts per million), which is used by many OEMs to measure how many defects are supplied in a million parts. Warranty claims and claims management are among the other KPIs scrutinised for the award.

Elusa was founded towards the end of the 4th century BCE as an important station along the Incense Road, the ancient road between Petra and Gaza. The city continued to develop, reaching its peak in the Byzantine period in the fourth to mid-sixth centuries CE. In that period, it was inhabited by thousands of residents and was the only city in the Negev.

The next part also sheds light on the gap between supply and consumption. Apart from the mentioned information, growth rate of Automotive Hub Bearing Industry in 2024 is also explained. Additionally, type wise and application wise consumption tables and figures of Automotive Hub Bearing Industry are also given.

Nasa’s Kepler mission discovered the planetary system that includes Kepler-62f in 2013, and it identified Kepler-62f as the outermost of five planets orbiting a star that is smaller and cooler than the sun.

Refinancing means swapping an old loan for a new one, and while it can be a risky move when you’re older, there are circumstances under which it makes sense. For example, if you’re stuck with a high interest rate on your mortgage because you applied at a time when your credit was poor or rates were higher in general, refinancing could significantly reduce your monthly payments. At that point, you can then take the money you would’ve spent on those higher payments to make extra payments, thereby getting rid of that loan faster.

A new study from the Georgia Institute of Technology provides new clues indicating that along with Kepler-62f, a super-Earth-sized planet orbiting around a star about 1,200 light-years away from us, it could be extremely similar to our own planet.
