AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
April 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner's advanced engine timing technologies, including
cam torque actuated (CTA) phasers and new inverted tooth silent
timing chains, drive Ford's 5.0-liter V8 engine. The engine powers
the 2015 Ford Mustang GT and is available as an option on the
all-new F-150, the toughest, smartest, most capable F-150 ever.
BorgWarner's CTA phasers with mid-position lock technology enable
greater control of valve timing over a broad range of engine
speeds, and its newest silent timing chain reduces friction while
improving wear performance.
"BorgWarner has supplied Ford with our advanced timing
technology since the debut of the model year 2011 engine. For the
upgraded 435 HP V8 engine for the 2015 Ford Mustang, we worked
closely with Ford to develop new VCT and timing chain solutions to
meet their challenging specifications," said Joe Fadool, President and General Manager,
BorgWarner Morse TEC. "At BorgWarner, we understand the complex
interactions between engine timing components. From concept to
launch and beyond, we collaborate with engine designers and
manufacturers to tune and optimize integrated systems for specific
applications."
BorgWarner's CTA phasers use the existing torsional energy in
the valve train to actuate more quickly, use less engine oil and
operate under a wider range of engine speeds and temperatures than
conventional VCT systems. For added calibration opportunities,
BorgWarner's patented mid-position lock technology allows an
increased range of camshaft positioning with a default stop at an
intermediate position within the expanded range of travel. The
unique passive mid-lock technology ensures failsafe return to the
middle position for reliable engine starts in any operating
condition.
BorgWarner's new compact, low-friction silent timing chain
features thicker links with an optimized link back shape to reduce
friction. Lower friction improves durability, reduces noise and
increases engine efficiency. Super finish aperture (SFA) links and
hard coated pin technology also improve wear performance even in
severe environments.
