New Departure Bearings

          NTN competes with the biggest names in the bearing industry. Chances are, if you’re looking to replace your Timken, SKF, or Koyo bearing, we make a drop-in replacement for it. If you’re not sure who made the bearing just enter the full part number.

          NTN uses a variety of prefixes and suffixes to help identify critical features of our bearings. Some are standard throughout the bearing industry, while some are not. If you’re having difficulty finding a direct interchange, try reducing the number of characters in your search.

            Schaeffler Technologies AG - a global automotive manufacturer of high-precision products and systems for engines, transmissions and chassis applications,like bearings - was named a 2012 Automotive News PACE (Premier Automotive Suppliers' Contribution to Excellence) Award winner for its UniAir fully variable valve lift system during an award ceremony held April 23 in Detroit. Schaeffler was one of 16 companies honored with the prestigious award that recognizes automotive suppliers for superior innovation, technological advancement.

             Additionally, the FAG company, together with Fiat Powertrain and the Chrysler Group, received an Innovation Partnership Award in recognition of their collaboration in the development of the system.The timing of the oil pressure required to open the engine valve is managed by a fast-switching solenoid valve. By controlling this oil pressure, the solenoid valve controls the shape of the valve lift curve such that early or late valve opening and/or closing is possible. Additionally and for the first time in mass production, the UniAir system facilitates the opening and closing of engine valves several times during one camshaft revolution
