Tribology within Turbochargers There are numerous tribological interfaces, commonly termed tribosystems, within a turbocharger. Some of these, such as the rotor bearing system, are lubricated and operate at temperatures less than 200 °C. The variable geometry and wastegate systems are examples of high temperature tribological interfaces within a turbocharger which are subject to temperatures be
Novel Solutions for Materials Engineering Increased demands are being placed upon turbochargers as a result of ever more stringent emissions regulations, a necessity for improved product performance and reliability and a requirement for a wider product operating range. Consequently, a greater level of stress is placed upon the materials from which turbochargers are manufactured. In order to achie
The future of trucking could well be unfolding this fall along U.S. Route 287 in north central Texas. After months of testing concepts in trucks around the country, Cummins engineers and their colleagues in a public-private partnership will pull together the best of what they’ve learned and apply it to a single tractor-trailer.

When Tina Vujovich was asked to sponsor Cummins’ first Women’s Affinity Group in 2001, she wasn’t quite sure what to expect. “I found several women who were dedicated to helping one another,” said Vujovich, retired Vice President of Marketing and Environmental Policy at the Company. “We put together a team that instinctively set about surveying the broad population of women at Cummins to lea
A chance meeting at a promotional event has led to a partnership between Cummins and professional storm chaser Sean Casey. Cummins took Casey’s Tornado Intercept Vehicle (TIV) 2 in for repairs in April, helping to get his engine back to factory specifications in addition to cleaning up some wiring, the turbocharger and more. “In the field, we don’t have the time and proper tools to correct i
The news is good from Padarwadi, but there have been some difficult times, too. It’s been more than two years since the tiny village in India, accessible only by foot, received a generator converted by engineers at Cummins India to run on oil from a local seed. The generator powered a small mill to husk the rice that village residents grew so they didn’t have to make hundreds of trips to the
Since January 2011, the Cummins Darlington (U.K.) Engine Plant hasn’t sent any waste to a landfill. That’s nothing in more than 16 months. Zero. Nada. And on top of that, the plant has reduced associated annual operating costs by $159,000. Darlington achieved its “zero landfill” status by making waste reduction a plant priority, and then using processes, tools and resources – most notab
