Improving Drive Performance and Reliability at the
Component Level
Refining
the proven design of TDI’s inertia drive component has improved both
performance and reliability. The streamlined TechTorque design reduces the
number of parts by 22%. The addition of an internal clutch loading spring
prevents possible damage during handling. Resistance to contaminants has
improved. And finally, TechTorque now yields more consistent torque values
across the entire operating range of TDI starters by achieving better
dimensional control in the “stack-ups” and controlled assembly process.
TechTorque Inertia Drives are more rugged, more resistant to
contaminants, and deliver a very narrow bandwidth of torque values. That
means improved reliability for TurboTwin Air Starters, and improved
reliability for anyone who chooses TechTorque as an OEM component.
