NTN-SNR introduces the crankshaft bearing labelled Solar Impulse Efficient Solution

NTN-SNR has demonstrated that a state-of-the-art bearing reduces friction losses while still being competitive compared with a hydrodynamic bearing. In partnership with a leading car manufacturer, a first crankshaft bearing known as "journal" has been developed. The project has gone through many stages including design, calculation, prototyping, functional validation and reliability tests.
