Litens Canada welcomed a group of bright Grade 9 students for Take Our Kids to Work Day on November 5, 2025. The day was filled with hands-on learning, curiosity, and a closer look at how our people and technology work together 🤝🤖   Students toured our manufacturing facility, where they saw robots operating alongside our skilled plant teams and learned about the OAD production process 🏭✨. A highlight of the day was a live demonstration from Robotic Technician Lovepreet Singh, who showcased robot handling and operation — sparking plenty of questions and enthusiasm 🔧💡.   The event ended with a STEM activity where each student built their own battery- or solar-powered robot, applying their observations and learnings 🔋🌞🤖.   #TakeOurKidsToWorkDay #FutureTalent #STEMEducation #ManufacturingInnovation #LitensCanada #CareerExploration #YouthInTech #IndustryInspiration

Torsional #vibrations are a direct threat to #engine durability, efficiency and auxiliary component life. Litens’ specialized solution, #TorqFiltr™ 💡, is engineered to manage these forces, delivering a new standard of precision and reliability in non-hybrid engine applications. 🚗💨 TorqFiltr™ ⬆️ optimizes the entire #auxiliarydrive system. Its standout features include: 🎯 Targeted Crankshaft Isolation: Effectively decouples and isolates destructive torsional vibrations 💥 right from the source. This dramatically reduces wear on auxiliary components and improves overall system stability. ⚖️ 🧠 Smart Efficiency Design: Engineered specifically for auxiliary drives operating with low dynamic and static belt pretension. This unique approach is the 🔑 to unlocking next-level durability. 📈 🔄 360° Precision Torque Transfer: At its core, an internal wrap spring clutch provides consistent, unidirectional #torque transfer across a full 360° rotation, ensuring efficient power delivery ⚡ and drive integrity. 🎨 Fully Customizable Core: Adapt TorqFiltr™ to your exact application with modular choices for pivots (ball/bushing), lubrication (oil/grease 💧) and shell materials (nylon/steel 🔩). 🤔 What does this mean for your application? ✅ Extended Component Life: 🗓️ Lower belt stress and minimal #tensioner arm movement result in longer-lasting belts and associated components. ✅ Enhanced System Efficiency: ⚡ Reduced bearing loads minimize parasitic friction, wear and future maintenance frequency. 🛠️ ✅ Superior Acoustic Performance: 🤫 The low pretension design significantly cuts rolling #noise for a quieter, #low-NVH engine environment. 🔇 🏁 Ready to engineer a more durable, efficient, and quieter auxiliary drive?

Front-End Accessory Drive has been the critical power distributor for an engine's alternator ⚡, A/C compressor ❄️ and power steering 🔄. The shift from multiple V-belts to a single serpentine belt was a major leap forward, improving packaging, reducing friction losses and enhancing fuel economy. However, this innovation came with a trade-off: a single point of failure ⚠️. A seized pulley or tensioner can lead to the sudden loss of all accessory functions, including engine cooling and steering assist — posing significant reliability challenges. This system has been pushed to its engineering peak by recent powertrain trends:  • Torsional Vibration 🌪️: Downsized engines introduce severe vibrations, demanding robust solutions like hydraulic tensioners and overrunning alternator decouplers to ensure durability.  • Hybridization 🔋: The integration of Belt-driven Starter Generators (BSGs) in mild-hybrid systems creates complex, bidirectional loads, requiring highly advanced tensioning solutions. Our engineered systems ensure durability, reliability and performance — whether managing severe vibrations or enabling hybrid integration. We help OEMs build powertrains that are ready for the future. 👉 Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gMwY5cUj #AutomotiveEngineering #Powertrain #FEAD #AutomotiveTech #Innovation #Engine

As powertrains evolve for hybrid applications, the demands on every component intensify. One of the biggest challenges? Managing the severe, ↔️ bidirectional loads placed on the accessory belt drive system. Rotary tensioner solves this by: • Controlling resonance & NVH • Optimizing efficiency & component life • Enabling advanced hybrid systems By utilizing internal damping, these devices actively dissipate torsional energy 🌀 and shift the system's natural frequencies away from primary engine excitation orders. This control is vital for mitigating belt flutter and suppressing unwanted NVH. Moreover, by maintaining a precisely calibrated tension window, the tensioner maximizes power transmission efficiency and helps prevent premature fatigue failure in driven components like alternators 💡, water pumps 💧 and A/C compressors ❄️.   The tensioner's role is magnified 🔍 in advanced powertrains, like hybrid-electric vehicles 🔌🚗 featuring Belt-Alternator-Starter systems. These applications subject the belt drive to high-magnitude, reversing torque 🔄 and severe transient loads during start-stop cycles and regenerative braking.    #AutomotiveEngineering #Powertrain #HybridVehicles #Engineering #NVH #AutomotiveTechnology
