About INA Alternator Pulleys
 
Since the start of series production of the overrunning alternator pulley in 1996, Schaeffler has produced more than 250 million OAP units. Thanks to its unbeatable OE expertise, years of experience and precise manufacturing, Schaeffler continues to set the industry standard in the OAP segment. Incidentally: Every fourth passenger car worldwide is now equipped with an INA overrunning alternator pulley. This makes Schaeffler the undisputed world market leader. Not least because the overrunning alternator pulley technology is constantly being developed and optimized.
 
Since its invention, Schaeffler has been setting standards in the market with the overrunning alternator pulley under the INA brand. The complexity of this innovation is demonstrated by the sophisticated inner workings. While drive pulleys from other manufacturers are usually fitted with machined components, the design principle of INA's solution with needle roller bearings ensures higher load carrying capacity and economical production. Further advantages of the component from Schaeffler: smoother running of the entire front end auxiliary drive, higher efficiency, reduced wear and lower fuel consumption.
