Schaeffler was named a 2014 Automotive News PACE (Premier Automotive Suppliers’ Contribution to Excellence) Award winner in the product category for its fuel-saving and vibration-reducing torque converter for rear wheel drive with centrifugal pendulum absorber.
The Schaeffler torque converter with centrifugal pendulum absorber was named a 2014 Automotive News PACE (Premier Automotive Suppliers’ Contribution to Excellence) Award winner in the product category.
Patrick Lindemann, vice president of product development at LuK Wooster (USA), accepted the award on behalf of Schaeffler during an award ceremony held April 7 at the Max M. Fisher Music Center in Detroit. For over 20 years the Automotive News PACE Awards have honored superior innovation, technological advancement and business performance among automotive suppliers. This prestigious award is recognized around the world as the industry benchmark for innovation.
“We are honored to receive this prestigious award and be recognized for our dedication to providing our customers with innovative products and technologies,” said Lindemann. “Our torque converter with its centrifugal pendulum absorber is a true testament to how we are working to create products that assist automakers as they face current and future industry requirements.”
Since downsized engines tend to vibrate more than larger ones, Schaeffler developed a pendulum, operated by centrifugal force and mounted to the torque converter, which cancels vibrations from the engine. As a result, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are reduced, and comfort is increased due to the reduced vibration. The torque converter is developed at Schaeffler’s LuK USA LLC facility in Wooster, Ohio.
This is the fourth time since 2009 that Schaeffler has received the PACE Award, most recently earning the recognition for its UniAir fully variable engine valve lift system that allows engines to operate more efficiently. This technology was recently named one of the “Best of the Best” by Automotive News editors in a list that recognizes the most significant PACE Award winners of the past 20 years.
The annual PACE Awards honor suppliers’ innovations in products, manufacturing process and capital equipment, and information technology. The judges, who are experts from industry, academia and business, evaluate the innovations for originality and market impact. Winners were announced at an award ceremony held April 7 in Detroit.
