Turbocharger Bearings

myonic and MinebeaMitsumi are both successfully involved in the development and production of ball bearing systems for exhaust turbochargers.

Increasingly strict emission directives are motivating automobile manufacturers to look for further possibilities for reducing fuel consumption. Our roller bearing systems help to increase engine efficiency by up to 4%, and as a result have attracted the attention of all renowned turbocharger producers. Special materials and production methods allow high speeds of up to 250,000 rpm in a temperature range of -40 to +320°C. They are used in all sizes of automobile and commercial vehicle engines.
