Rolling Bearings for Rotary and Limited Linear Motion

Rolling Bearings for Rotary and Limited Linear Motion The Schaeffler Group's INA brand stands for the development and manufacture of rolling bearings, plain bearings and linear systems as well as precision components for the automotive industry for engines, transmissions and powertrains worldwide.For 60 years, INA brand products have stood for creative application solutions as well as top engineering and production expertise to the company¡¯s customers. Recently, the group developed rolling bearings for rotary and limited linear motion: series RLF for shift rods and shift rails. In order to achieve the lowest possible gearshift and synchronisation forces, the gearshift elements in manual automotive gearboxes must be supported by bearing arrangements matched to their function with high precision, smooth operation and low friction while requiring only a very small radial design envelope.
