AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Dec. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner is expanding its engine timing business in
Korea, by supplying its advanced cam torque actuated (CTA) variable
cam timing (VCT) technology for Hyundai and Kia vehicles powered by
3.0- to 3.8-liter V-6 gasoline engines. BorgWarner's CTA phasers
with mid-position lock technology respond faster than traditional
VCT systems and enable greater valve timing control over a broad
range of engine speeds.
"In addition to fast phasing, BorgWarner's CTA technology
features our mid-position lock innovation for more refined engine
calibration and an integrated center bolt for easier assembly,"
said Joe Fadool, President and
General Manager, BorgWarner Morse Systems. "We are pleased to
expand our business with Hyundai and Kia with the improved engine
efficiency, performance and fuel economy that our state-of-the-art
VCT technology delivers."
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. The unique passive
mid-lock technology ensures failsafe return to the mid-park
position for reliable engine starts in any operating condition.
