SKF widens scope of application for its rotor positioning bearings
SKF has augmented its rotor positioning bearings range with a new and compact design that is suitable for all belt-driven starter/generator applications in both 12V and upcoming 48V formats.Gothenburg, Sweden, 11 December 2017: The belt-driven starter/generator (BSG) is the preferred architecture for mild hybrid electric vehicle power train designs. It provides a low cost solution to reduce fuel consumptions and CO2 emissions. The unit enables fast stop/start, regenerative braking and boosting functions. The BSG electronic control unit (ECU) requires instantaneous detection of rotor
