Repair solutions from Schaeffler Automotive Aftermarket are the first choice when it comes to meeting quality, precision, durability and value retention requirements.
INA — Creative engine expertise.
From developing unique valve trains to innovative original equipment solutions for timing assemblies, front-end accessory drives and valve trains for the independent repair market, our professional repair solutions have been thought out down to the very last detail. Committed to consistent quality.
INA Timing Assembly.
INA is an original supplier also in this segment. With more than 64 million produced units our products are built into almost every vehicle . Our timing assembly components are extremely durable and perfectly aligned with the timing assembly.
INA Front-End Accessory Drive.
Alternators, power steering pumps and air conditioner (AC) compressors are driven by the vehicle engine . To ensure this is reliable, quiet and low-maintenance, INA offers a multitude of mechanical and hydraulic drive belt tensioners and drive belt tensioning units.
INA Valve Train.
INA engineers are the pioneers of maintenance-free and variable valve train assemblies for high-revolution combustion engines . This makes INA the world’s unchallenged market leader with over 300 million components with mechanical or hydraulic valve train adjustment as well as variable valve train systems produced.
Overrunning Alternator Pulley
In 1995, our engineers developed the over-running alternator pulley (OAP) that is mounted instead of the rigid belt pulley. It balances and absorbs the vibrations and relieves the front-end accessory drive.
The overrunning alternator pulley decouples the alternator from rotational irregularities of the crankshaft. It dampens belt vibrations, shortens the tensioner paths and extends the service life of the belt. In addition, it reduces the force level around the ribbed belt drive and improves the noise characteristics of the belt drive system. The required special tool is also supplied by Schaeffler Group Automotive Aftermarket.
With this total concept INA with its overrunning alternator pulley is until today the worldwide leader in the area of alternator decoupling.
