A well-optimized linear unit offers a versatile, compact motion solution that can reliably serve an application for years.

In this case, as friction causes the brakes to heat up, that heat then radiates into the atmosphere. But electric motors have a special talent that internal combustion engines don’t have ...

The customer was insistent: “We need another new linear bearing for the follower ... A true follower generally is not powered and is brought forward during bending by the friction between the pressure ...

The Tonale will deliver speed, but it doesn't feel as if it enjoys the process. The Alfa's friction brakes use large Brembo four-piston calipers in front, but the blend between regenerative and ...

They've upped the amount of regenerative braking on offer, too—you can now harvest up to 400 kW under braking at up to 0.45 G before the friction brakes take over (the old car was up to 290 kW ...

In the variants with MHEV plus technology, the system calculates whether the desired braking effect can be achieved by regenerative braking using the electric motor – that is, the powertrain generator ...

Using the car’s regenerative brakes over the traditional ‘friction brakes’ has other benefits, too. It puts less wear on the brake parts, meaning they’ll last longer, plus it reduces the amount of ...
