AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Oct. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner supplies the first combination of its variable
cam timing (VCT) technologies, including its patented cam torque
actuated (CTA) phasers with mid-position lock and integrated center
bolt, for Hyundai's improved Lambda II V-6 engines. The 3.0- to
3.8-liter gasoline engines debuted in the 2016 Hyundai Genesis
EQ900, G90, G80 and Aslan as well as the Kia K7. Featuring an
integrated center bolt for easy assembly, BorgWarner's CTA phasers
with mid-position lock respond faster than traditional VCT systems,
enabling engine designers to employ new calibration strategies that
contribute to the engine's 1.7 percent increase in fuel
economy.
"No other supplier offers this combination of high-performance
VCT technologies. As more automakers recognize the ease of
integration and opportunities in engine calibration, we expect
demand to escalate," said Joe
Fadool, President and General Manager, BorgWarner Morse
Systems. "We are pleased to launch the first combination of our
latest VCT technologies on Hyundai's improved Lambda II engine,
along with localized manufacturing and engineering support."
BorgWarner's CTA phasers take advantage of the existing
torsional energy in the valve train to actuate faster and operate
under a wider range of engine speeds and temperatures than
conventional VCT systems. Using BorgWarner's variable force
solenoid, CTA phasers require less engine oil, which also reduces
parasitic losses and enables oil-actuated variable valve lift
systems to operate with an expanded duty cycle. 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. Unlike competitive
models that require active control to return to default position
and relock, BorgWarner's passive mid-lock technology ensures
failsafe return to the mid-park position for reliable engine starts
in any operating condition. The integrated center bolt simplifies
engine production on the assembly line.
In addition to VCT technologies, BorgWarner supplies the engine
timing chain system for many Hyundai engines, including the Kappa,
Gamma, Theta and Lambda.
