DENSO REVEALS SIGNIFICANT ROTATING ELECTRICS UPDATE

DENSO has introduced 71 new part numbers to its passenger, light commercial vehicle, commercial vehicle and heavy-duty rotating electrics ranges.
The update comprises of 48 starter motors, linked to 148 original equipment( OE) references, while there are 23 alternators aligned to 90 OE part numbers. Included among the newly-unveiled list of passenger and LCV starter applications are various Jaguar, Toyota, Lexus, Isuzu and Opel / Vauxhall models, while Honda, Toyota, Subaru, Isuzu and Opel / Vauxhall all feature among the alternators.
Switching to the CV and heavyduty list, Caterpillar, Yanmar, John Deere and Komatsu are all part of the updated starter portfolio, with Case, Cummins, VW Industrial and Toyota Industries making up the alternator references.
Of the 71 part numbers, 59 are available now, while the remaining 12 are due to be released in April or May. Part number, DENSO and OE references can
be corroborated on the DENSO E-Catalogue and TecDoc.
����� launched its first alternator back in the 1960s and has since pioneered a variety of new alternator designs, capable of producing more electrical �ower, more efficiently – but in a smaller, lighter unit. In 2000, for example, it introduced the world�s first se�ment conductor( SC) alternator using a rectangular conductor for its stator coil. By raising the winding density from 45 to 70 per cent, DENSO was able to make the SC alternator 20 per cent lighter and achieve 50 per cent more output than a conventional type.
�ince it introduced its first starter – again, in the 1960s – DENSO introduced the world�s first �lanetary reduction segment conductor motor( PS) starter in 2001, featuring a square conductor in the armature coil. The PS starter was 22 per cent lighter and 14 per cent shorter than the reduction a type, delivering im�ro�ed efficiency and an easier fit�

High engine bay temperatures, particularly on turbocharged cars, can cause all sorts of problems, and the starter motor is especially at risk.
The ONYX™ Starter Shield from DEI has been designed to offer the highest level of protection from engine bay heat-soak which can cause starter motor failure. Consisting of two layers of material, a hi�hly reflecti�e outer layer combined with a high-heat resistant inner layer, it is able to endure direct heat up to 730 ° C.
The perfect choice for high heat applications where engine heat soak is a �roblem, the �hield is easy to fit thanks to a hook and loop fastening system. Priced at £ 67.21 plus VAT and delivery, it is supplied in a 7-inch wide x 24-inch long size( 177.8 mm x 609.6 mm), but the length can be trimmed to fit the starter if necessary� Visit www.
