Reference excerpt

Raicam Industrie S.r.l. is an Italian multi-national group of OE automotive component and Aftermarket manufacturers, making clutches, brakes and hydraulic actuators.

History The company was founded in Manoppello, in eastern Italy, in 1982, by Nicola Di Sipio. In 1995 a new challenge arrived: the design and the production of friction material for brake discs; it started from the taking over of the company Permafuse, located in Turin. In 2005 Raicam enlarged its products range by taking over AP Automotive Products SrL, a company for the design, development and manufacturing of clutches; also in 2009 it took over AP Driveline Technologies Ltd, today named Raicam Clutch Ltd. In 2008 for the first time Fiat 500 was assembled with Raicam clutches and brakes. In 2015 Raicam has extended in the Asian market by setting up the first R&D centre in India, in order to support the local car manufacturing industries; in 2016 the Indian plant started its production for supplying the OE local market. 28 March 2018 – Raicam has completed the acquisition of the Hydraulic Actuator Business from Valeo. This acquisition includes the entire Passive Hydraulic Division of Valeo, with all the Human Resources, Intellectual Property, Manufacturing Sitesat Mondovì in Italy, Gemlik in Turkey and Nanjing in China. In India, Raicam will carry on the former local Passive Hydraulic Business of Valeo in its Sanand Site, which is already operative. Raicam, by integrating the division acquired in its organization, has now the capabilities and the resources to design and manufacture the entire clutch and actuation system and to facilitate the industrialization of the active hydraulic actuators.

Structure The company is headquartered in Manoppello in the Italian region of Abruzzo, east of the Autostrada A25 and on the SS5. It has around 1.000 employees and 7 manufacturing plants in Italy, Turkey, India and China. It turns over around 180 million euros. It has a technology centre in Bruzolo.

United Kingdom The company has a small prototype development facility in Redditch, Raicam Clutch Ltd, on the Moons Moat North Industrial Estate, off the A4023 north of UK-NSI; but is mainly a test centre with a limited R&D department. This company (formerly Automotive Products or AP) was bought by Raicam in 2009, and moved from Leamington Spa in 2017.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Raicam Industrie

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Raicam Industrie claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Raicam Industrie before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Raicam Industrie ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Raicam Industrie

In research: Raicam Industrie appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Raicam Industrie in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Raicam Industrie is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Auto parts suppliers of Italy, Automotive motorsports and performance companies, Brakes, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Raicam Industrie outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
