Automotive
Our automotive products represent a significant contribution
of our business. As supplier of quality bearings for all types
of automobiles, we develop and supply forward-looking products
and system solutions for engines, transmissions, and chassis.
We use our “advance development and product innovation” process
to work on requirements and solutions for the future.
Driveline
A car’s driveline is normally considered to include everything
from the clutch through to the driven wheels. AKG provides
specific bearing solutions for all the major elements, transmissions,
transfer boxes, and final-drives.
Engine Systems
Today’s petrol (gasoline) and Diesel engines are highly sophisticated,
computer regulated devices. Fuel injection, once the domain
of exotic sports cars is now found on even the most humble
of cars.
This trend has continued and these control systems have now
moved to Diesel engines, where common-rail systems have all
but replaced traditional distributor-pump arrangements.
Belt drive systems, used in camshaft or ancillary systems
(alternators, ABS pumps etc.) are major users of rolling element
bearings. The majority of arrangements use deep groove ball
bearings although needle roller units are employed where axial
space is at a premium.
Chassis systems
AKG products are state-of-the-art, innovative bearing solutions
in chassis applications. AKG’s products are used in brake
systems, steering columns and suspension struts, our bearings
are easy to mount, require small installation spaces and offer
additional integrated functions.
