Technical Highlights

Topology optimization of high-strength structures
Based on the finite element analysis and the real load spectrum of the diesel engine, the structure is optimized for the high burst pressure and gear transmission impact. The key stress area adopts reinforcement and variable cross-section design, which improves the overall stiffness by more than 30% while reducing the weight by 12%~15%, and effectively suppresses the transmission of gear meshing vibration.

Highly dense vacuum die casting process
Adopting vacuum-assisted die-casting technology, the vacuum degree of the mold cavity can reach below 90mbar, which significantly reduces the defects of rolled gas. With local extrusion technology, solve the problem of shrinkage in thick parts, casting density enhancement, to meet the ≤ 0.2mL/min harsh sealing requirements, without the need for infiltration treatment.

Integrated Functional Consolidation Design
The timing pin hole, oil nozzle mount, crankshaft position sensor hole, high-pressure oil pump drive window, oil/gas separator interface and other features are molded by one-piece casting. This reduces the number of parts and secondary processing procedures, and improves assembly efficiency and reliability.

Directional cooling and heat balance control
Optimized cooling waterway layout for the characteristics of high heat load of diesel engine ensures that the gear housing cover maintains a uniform temperature field under full engine operating conditions. The optional integrated oil cooling channel design further enhances the heat dissipation efficiency and ensures the reliability of the gear train and sensors.

Precision Bearing Hole Processing Technology
The bearing holes of the gear housing cover adopt roughness and precision composite boring process, with roundness ≤ 0.01mm and cylindricity ≤ 0.012mm, which ensures precise alignment of the timing gear system, reduces the meshing noise, and enhances the transmission efficiency and service life.
