Consider it a professional hazard, but Bob Rother, manager of the Corporate Measurement Center of Excellence at Cummins' Columbus Engine Plant (CEP), can tell you precisely how small a micron is. "A micron is almost indescribably small - it's a millionth of a meter," he says, holding his hands about shoulder-width apart. "So if I were to take a meter, which is about this far, and divide it into
With today's fuel prices, getting the most miles out of every gallon of fuel is a major priority. There are a lot of factors that go into the amount of fuel you use in a given day, and your Cummins Turbo Diesel is one of them. Some simple adjustments may help you save on gas costs when driving your 6.7L Cummins RAM. At a very basic level, the more work your engine does, the more fuel you use. T
Cummins technology was in the spotlight in a recent episode of Motorhead Garage highlighting the history of Cummins diesel technology. As part of the "Big Rig" series, the episode, hosted by Sam Memmolo and Dave Bowman, aired on Fox Sports Net (FSN). Motorhead Garage has reunited the pioneers in automotive how-to TV - Memmolo and Bowman - to analyze and advise viewers of the latest product
Cummins Turbo Technologies is part of the Cummins Components Group, which includes Cummins Emission Solutions, Cummins Filtration and Cummins Fuel Systems. The Holset brand has been synonymous with turbocharging and aerodynamic excellence for over 50 years, developing an enviable reputation in pursuit of improved engine efficiencies, durability and emissions reduction. The system, which include
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. With an aerodynamic exterior, an engine that captures waste
The Additive Manufacturing Approach The prototyping industry utilizes additive manufacturing to generate 3D parts using plastic media. This technique is a recognized approach for providing a visualization aid so that key considerations such as ease of manufacture can be assessed, for example. The manufacturing method reduces the time taken to develop new products and improves the collaboration
With the advancement of new electric and hybrid technologies picking up pace such as electrification and stop-start technologies to improve commercial vehicle fuel efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions, Cummins Turbo Technologies needs to understand what the impact of these new automotive technologies will be on their air handling technologies. Through this project Cummins Turbo Technologies is d
Highly Durable, Highly Efficient and Compact Turbochargers Are Becoming Increasingly Desirable Over the past few years, the market has seen global engine and vehicle manufacturers shift their focus from emission driven regulations to fuel economy improvements to insulate their customers from rising fuel prices. With fuel prices remaining high, Cummins Turbo Technologies is committed to focusing o
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
Mark Levett, Cummins Vice President and General Manager - High Horsepower Business, talks about the QSK95 engine at its unveiling in Seymour, Ind. It's hard to imagine something eight feet tall, 14 feet long and capable of producing 4,000 horsepower could ever be considered "green." But Cummins' new 16 cylinder QSK95 engine, the largest high-speed diesel engine the Company has ever built, ha
