VALLEY CITY, Ohio -- Schaeffler Group USA Inc. has announced the release of its 2010 INA Overrunning Alternator Pulley (OAP) Catalog. More than 50 SKUs are included, covering in excess of 200 European, Asian and U.S. domestic applications. Also included are industry cross-references, a diagnostic guide and functionality test instructions.

“OAPs have been one of our fastest-growing product lines in recent years,” said Bill Hanvey, director of Business Development for Schaeffler Group USA’s Automotive Aftermarket Division. “We’re excited to be able to offer this valuable reference guide to our customers.”

The Schaeffler Group pioneered the development of the overrunning alternator pulley and continues to lead the industry with new applications worldwide. The unique design effectively dampens belt vibrations by decoupling the alternator from crankshaft rotational irregularities to reduce noise, increase belt life and improve alternator efficiency.
