• Two - lobe overhead cam and a pair of needle - roller
rocker arms reduce friction by 50 percent for increased fuel efficiency and torque.
The use of aluminum in the pivot bearing and high tensile steels in the front axle bearing and in the transverse
rocker arms reduces the unsprung inertial masses.
Not exact matches
Resin coating is applied to the pistons, and lightweight aluminum material is employed for the first time in a motorcycle in the friction -
reducing roller
rocker arm.
To
reduce friction, the
rocker arms have built - in rollers.
This design
reduces valvetrain inertia more than is the case with an SOHC engine, since the
rocker arms are
reduced in size or eliminated.
Some SOHC multi-valve engines (such as the Mazda B8 - ME) use a single fork - shaped
rocker arm to drive two valves (generally the exhaust valves) so that fewer cam lobes will be needed in order to
reduce manufacturing costs.
Measures to
reduce friction losses and thus help enhance engine efficiency include the adoption of narrow, lightweight roller
rocker arms and low - friction timing chains, while D - 4S direct fuel injection helps create optimum combustion conditions, contributing to enhanced fuel efficiency.
The NR engine family (there's also a 1.5 L version in the Avanza) comes with intake and exhaust Dual VVT - i, teflon coating for the pistons (to
reduce friction and improve durability), larger water jackets (better cooling, improved combustion, lower noise), roller
rocker arm (
reduces friction between
rocker arm and camshaft) and iridium spark plugs (the 1.0 L KR in the Bezza and Axia also uses the latter).
In order to achieve the optimum volumetric efficiency in the lower portion of the engine's operating range,
rocker arms are programmed to follow cam lobes that provide low lift and
reduced duration (shorter time open with less valve lift).
Measures to
reduce friction losses and thus improve engine efficiency include the adoption of narrow, lightweight roller
rocker arms and low - friction timing chains, while D - 4S direct fuel injection helps create optimum combustion conditions, contributing to enhanced fuel economy.
Titanium valves, ultra — light weight
rocker arms with a diamond — like coating and a fully integrated lower crankcase that
reduces pumping losses at high RPMs combine to provide the driver with overwhelming acceleration right up to the 9,000 rpm redline.
The valve stems have been buffed and polished, the camshaft is lower friction and the weight of the
rocker arms has been
reduced.
Valve train Lightweight titanium intake valves are operated by roller
rocker arms with integrated low rolling resistance needle bearings that significantly
reduce friction between the cam and the sliding parts.
