TIMING CHAIN KITS IN OE QUALITY
MS Motorservice International GmbH is expanding its product portfolio in the area of timing chain kits. With 62 items currently available, the company covers over 11,000 vehicle types. This corresponds to a market potential of over 100 million vehicles worldwide. Further expansion of the product range is planned for the coming years. Timing chain kits from the Kolbenschmidt brand deliver exceptionally high product quality, with excellent durability and reliable functioning. Ultimately, they have to meet the international spare parts dealer’ s stringent quality
requirements. To guarantee this, all components in the timing chain kits undergo extensive functional testing as part of the quality assurance process. This includes timing chains, guide and sliding rails, tensioner blades, chain tensioners, gaskets, crank and camshaft gears, and camshaft adjusters. Critical components also undergo an endurance run. As a special service for customers, if required and if there is sufficient sales potential, individual components can also be ordered.
Function
The chain drive in combustion engines transmits the rotary motion of the crankshaft to the camshafts. This opens and closes the valves at precisely the correct time. Force transmission is achieved by a timing chain, which is connected to the crankshaft and camshaft using sprockets. The advantage
TIMING CHAIN KITS – PRECISION AND STABILITY, FOR SAFETY AND PERFORMANCE
of timing chains over belt drives is that they are less subject to wear and ageing, and also have a higher load limit. In addition, because they are oil resistant they do not have to be attached to the outside of the engine, allowing the engine to have a shorter overall length. As they are subjected to high loads during normal operation, the quality and workmanship of these components is crucial for the safety and durability of the chain drive.
