The AE range of high quality valve-train components includes application-specific valves, design and manufactured to OE standards. The top-engine environment is increasingly hostile, due to turbocharging and other techniques for CO2 reduction. Only components that employ OE design expertise, with the latest advanced materials and manufacturing quality, can provide the performance and durability that professional engine technicians demand. Valves are subjected to some of the highest stresses and temperatures in the engine, yet not only must they survive, they must also continue to seal perfectly. As a top-engine expert with a long heritage of innovation, AE provides the answer with high-precision designs. The choice of material is so critical that some AE valves, known as bi-metallic valves, are made from two materials, with the head optimized for strength and temperature resistance and the stem optimized to resist wear.

Product Features:

• OE Quality
• Optimized for strength
• High temperature strength
• Stem optimized to resist wear

Goetze OE piston rings for gasoline and diesel engines, are developed for automobile, light commercial vehicle and heavy-duty applications, come in a wide range of sizes, include the first ring sets introduced for Euro4-compliant engines. The end gap can be a straight cut, angled cut or gas tight type for improved sealing. Radial pressure distribution greatly influences ring performance therefore we modify the pressure distribution according to the individual application. The wear-resistance and running-in behavior of the outer ring surface is defined by selecting from various coating options, which include the high-performance electroplated, thermally sprayed and PVD coatings. Goetze modern oil control rings scrape off oil from the cylinder wall, leaving just the required amount for lubrication. The running surface is the contour of the ring facing the cylinder surface. The objective of this running surface profile is to create a lubrication slot with a hydrodynamic film which the piston ring can slide on without touching the other surface. An optimized asymmetrical-barrelled running surface ensures low lubricant consumption even after a very long running time. Goetze piston rings have anti-scuffing properties that promote smooth engine operation, reduced oil consumption and long engine life. In addition, the Goetze process helps prevent materials from detaching and cracking and aids in environmental protection

Product Features:

• Maximum durability
• High wear and corrosion resistance
