World renowned race team leader, Andretti Autosport (AA) has selected Specialty Components as an air bearing supplier.  Through this sponsorship, Specialty Components delivered a model SRA350 precision frictionless spherical air bearing to Andretti Autosport's manufacturing and test facility.  The bearing provides a frictionless ball-joint pivot in their dynomometer used for precision horsepower measurement.  During operation, the bearing carries up to 2000 pounds load with zero friction.  The frictionless nature of this high capacity spherical bearing will greatly improve the level of accuracy of measurement when monitoring horsepower.  We look forward to the teams great success this race season.
