AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
June 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner is expanding its engine timing systems and drive
chains into the North American light-duty diesel market with the
Cummins® 5.0-liter turbodiesel V8 engine family.
Optimized specifically for Cummins V8 engines, BorgWarner's engine
timing system includes bushing timing chains, arms, guides,
tensioners and sprockets. BorgWarner also supplies chains for the
fuel injection pump drive and oil pump drive, both designed for
wear resistance and low noise.
"BorgWarner's bushing chains are ideal for diesel engines.
Offering a durable, compact package at a lower cost than gear
systems enables engine makers like Cummins to deliver high
performance with improved fuel economy," said Joe Fadool, President and General Manager,
BorgWarner Morse Systems. "We are proud to work with Cummins to
offer drivers exciting new options in the North American light-duty
diesel market."
The demanding environment in diesel engines can cause engine
timing chains to elongate, leading to inefficient cam timing. To
increase durability, BorgWarner's bushing chains employ specially
shaped profiles and oriented bushings. Arms and guides are
engineered for low mass and small package size to improve fuel
economy and reduce emissions. Chain tensioners are hydraulically
and mechanically tuned to meet the unique demands of the Cummins
engine. Sprockets feature modified tooth profiles designed to
offset vibration and noise. As an integrated system, each component
of the engine timing system is optimized to resist wear, reduce
friction and decrease vibration for low noise, precise timing,
improved fuel economy and long service life.
