      Industrial challenges push innovation

      Thanks to strong expertise in alternators, Valeo is able to face one of the major challenges of the automotive industry, the explosion of steel and copper prices. The environment of the product in the engine (for example more compact engines offering less air-flow) has led to Valeo finding solutions for optimization of the products thermal resistance. Constantly seeking new technologies and methods to achieve higher performance, competitiveness and quality, Valeo engineers have recently developed several new technologies:

      1. The new FG alternator is built with magnets inserted between the claw poles of the rotor to increase the machine’s efficiency, thus improving the ratio of Amps per kilo. Additionally, the stator winding process has been optimized, and a higher copper filling ratio leads to higher efficiency, a smaller diameter and greater machine inertia. Magnetic noise is significantly reduced making the FG alternator an ultra-quiet machine. The design of the housing and rotor cooling fans increases the thermal resistance of the machines, which due to the demanding environment of alternators, is another competitive factor.

      2. The TG alternator, designed to deliver high power silently, sets a new standard for electrical generators currently on the market. Interpreting and integrating market drivers, it opens the door to further developments for higher power alternators, addressing growing 12 Volt on-board electrical energy demands. The principal advantages of this development are:

      • Up to 230A
      • High power to weight ratio: mass reduction, inertia reduction
      • Compact design
      • Benchmark in terms of silent operations: magnetic noise reduction through Statcol™
      • Improved efficiency

      Starters

      Valeo® - Starters

      100% new Valeo starters to exceed your expectations: quick start of the engine, long life performance even during winter. Valeo starters are designed and tested in stringent conditions that are established by OE manufacturers and fit perfectly with your vehicle needs.

      Benefits :

      • High starting frequency resistant
      • High resistance to heat, vibration and dust
      • Includes the latest technologies developed by Valeo
      • Water/Dustproof allows for long lasting starter performances
      • Surpasses car maker requirements

      The starter market, also highly cost-driven must also seek optimization: the market is clearly divided between the gasoline segment that is mainly cost-driven, and the diesel segment, that requires high cranking speed in cold cranking, in run-up phases. Thanks to its dual range of starters, Valeo is able to address these requirements: with the FS Starter, a breakthrough innovation with its “performance to packaging” ratio at a competitive cost, and with the TS starter, whose innovative winding technology gives strong product differentiation on diesel and high performance markets.

      Valeo® - Conversion-kits

      More vehicles in the last two decades were produced in OE with a dual mass flywheel (DMF). Although the DMF has advantages, there are many disadvantages too, especially replacement in the aftermarket.

      Here are some issues with the DMF:

      • The user should not try to resurface upon failure, therefore, a new expensive one is needed
      • Due to a high price, many providers in the IAM will not stock the DMF sufficiently, leading to installers and end users going directly to dealerships
      • High failure rate in some applications leads to warranty returns and a high level of customer dissatisfaction

      To solve this troubling issue, Valeo has designed and brought Solid Flywheel Conversion Kits to the market. Now, with one of these kits, a failed DMF setup can be completely replaced.

      The key advantages include:

      • Cost savings of 30% - 50%
      • Greater durability – no wear components in the simpler solid flywheel (dual mass is complex with many parts that can cause failure)
      • Comparable performance
      • High level of customer satisfaction
      • More than 20 References available now with more in development stage coming soon to fit about 800,000 vehicles on the road.

      Quality

      The centerpiece of the Valeo Clutch Products Program is its OE Replacement Clutch Kits. No other clutch kit supplier can offer components that exceed the OE quality that Valeo offers. Many program repackagers do not offer high percentages of OE specified clutch covers and discs. You can expect long life and smooth engagement from Valeo’s clutches because of our focus on quality.

      Value

      Valeo’s kits contain every component that a technician needs to change out a clutch. Each kit contains a clutch disc assembly, pressure plate cover assembly, release bearing, alignment tool, grease pack, and installation guide. Also included when necessary are a pilot bearing, and technical service bulletin. Some kits also come with a flywheel. Valeo’s numeric, user-friendly part numbers have been designed to support the marketplace.

      Packaging

      Valeo’s kits use packaging that is state of the art to ensure that the product arrives and remains free of damage right up to the time it is installed in a vehicle. The extra durable locking tabs ensure product security within its packaging until it is removed for final installation. Valeo kits are packaged in an attractive, reinforced box that includes hand held slots for the heavier kits. Other features of the packaging include: resealable foam insert for enhanced box and component protection, and a smart label where the part number is coded for size and vehicle make, shown vertically and horizontally with competitor interchanges.

      The Valeo Dual-Friction clutch kit is a performance matched pressure plate & disc along with a release bearing, pilot bearing and alignment tool for complete installation. The DF-Pro pressure plate features a centrifugal weight system (where applicable) and specialized machining processes to provide a performance clutch that offers exceptional street characteristics, while offering outstanding holding-capacity and durability. The DF-Pro disc has a full facing on the pressure plate side for drivability and longevity, while a carbon composite puck style (segmented) facing is used on the flywheel side for a positive engagement and increased holding-capacity. DF-Pro Series is engineered for enthusiasts who are looking for the ultimate in street/strip holding power and performance without sacrificing pedal effort and driving control.

      Truck Clutch Kits

      Valeo® - Truck Kits

      Valeo offers a great range of clutch kits and flywheels for Class 5 - 8 medium and heavy duty trucks. Valeo medium duty program includes 70 unique references for 16 truck makes and over 70 models! The coverage includes trucks made by Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, Freightliner, GMC, Hino, Isuzu, Kenworth, Mack, Mercedes Benz, Mitsubishi Fuso, Navistar, Nissan UD, Peterbilt, Scania, and Volvo.

      All of Valeo’s truck clutch kits are complete and include the cover, disc, center plate, release bearing and grease pack. An alignment tool and pilot bearing are also included in many references. When converting from a twin disc to a Valeo single disc replacement, a bolt kit is also included. Spanner wrenches are a vital tool for installation and are available for purchase from Valeo.

      Technically, Valeo’s truck kits are superb! Proven, superior designs including self-adjusting technology, diaphragm & angle spring covers and the highest quality cerametallic facings are all offered. The Valeo designed and produced clutches allow for better driving performance because the single disc design reduces shift effort and eliminates drag. There is reduced pedal effort at the floor and a longer travel damper reduces vibration and noise. Fewer moving parts mean better reliability. No internal clutch adjustments are necessary. The release system is easy for one person to adjust. Good diaphragm design increases the life of the clutch by giving uniform plate pressure and greater plate load as the disc assembly wears.
