egulations through higher load-carrying capacity and lower operating risk. Engine bearing
technology should also be able to find uses beyond the field of combustion engines. The
area of wind turbines is particularly rich in potential in this regard.
Modules for fuel-efficient engines
In 2009-2010 Miba Sinter Group focused on developing sintered gears and complete
modules for mass balancing for new, smaller and fuel-efficient engines. Targeted design
and process development for noise reduction and cost optimization made it possible to
further expand the product portfolio in the area of sintered gears. The further development
of Miba servo-synchronizers for manual and automatic vehicle transmissions was
another area of focus. This system improves shifting comfort and strengthens synchronizer
performance. This development has proven itself in experimental testing. There were also
further developments in forming technology for the production of complex and highly
stressed sinter components in drives.
High-load friction linings for wind turbines
One area of focus for Miba Friction Group in 2009-2010 was the development of a new
friction lining for wind turbines. This lining will have a higher energy load rating, meaning
higher performance at the same cost. A new Miba Friction Group engine brake pad should
ensure greater comfort through decreased noise in the future. New developments in
reduced-wear clutch linings for trucks and tractors increase durability.
