Tapered Roller Bearings with Plastic Cages are dedicated to the automotive transmission market and enables a 20% friction reduction compared with conventional steel cage products. This development is particularly efficient under severe lubrication conditions such as low viscosity transmission fluids are used or oil pump is shut down during the electric-motor-only mode in hybrid vehicles.
- Interior bearing space requirements are minimized to avoid any surplus volume of lubricant which reduces agitation resistance.
- A stable supply of lubricant to the sliding surfaces of the rollers is ensured via the addition of a dedicated oil pool
