The INA tensioner parts range expanded considerably in 2013 and Schaeffler Automotive Aftermarket will be introducing many new additional part numbers in 2014 further strengthening its position in this important sector of the independent automotive aftermarket.


Recent new INA additions have been released for a wide variety of important models including a v-ribbed belt tensioner for the Ford Focus III, powered by the innovative 1.6 EcoBoost engine, 04/2011-.

OAPs are an integral part of the Front End Auxiliary Drive system (FEAD) and are designed to absorb vibrations and fluctuations in the FEAD. More than 150 million units have been produced since being launched in 1995 with every fifth car driving on the world’s roads being fitted with one.
