McLaren Performance Technologies was selected as a finalist in the 2007 Automotive News PACE Award competition for its Opti-Power innovation used on engine cylinder heads.Opti-Power is an end-to-end design / development / manufacture process. It originates with the functional design of the cylinder head for air flow performance, “Wet-Flow” combustion technology, valve-train packaging, 5-Axis CNC “Flexible Machining”, and a unique method to fixture the part to permit all critical machining in one setup. The fixturing eliminates all stack-up variance caused by multiple setups or machine-to-machine variances allowing a degree of precision in the final product not previously seen in mass production cylinder head manufacturing.
Chrysler utilized the Opti-Power technology on the production releases of the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT V10 engine. By working with specialists from McLaren Performance Technologies as well as Ricardo Inc., SRT engineers began by following the racer’s basic formula for more power: bigger displacement, more efficient breathing and higher engine speed.
The automotive industry is in a full sprint to increase fuel economy levels to, among other things, meet the 4.31 liters/100km (54.5 mpg) corporate average fuel economy target that has been set by the US government. A key area of focus to meet that legislation will be the vehicle transmission and driveline system. The demand for efficiency, durability and power density has resulted in highly efficient 6-speed transmissions and soon the market will propel forward to both 9- and 10-speed designs. For these efficiencies to be gained, designers will require gears that are smaller, quieter and more durable to meet expectations for packaging, NVH and long life expectancy.
Making great gears is more than just manufacturing; it requires an extensive understanding of gear manufacturing and gear design,” explains Scott Maxwell, director of business development for Linamar’s Driveline System Group. “We are one of the largest independent gear producers in North America and our integrated approach enables us to control the entire manufacturing process, from design to final production, ensuring we consistently deliver high-quality gears.”
This includes thoroughly simulating gear stress tests; production variability; process evaluation; and analysis of the best contact patterns for efficiency, NVH and durability requirements.
Linamar is using its deep understanding of gears to develop new innovations such as the recently launched hybrid power unit electric rear axle. Testing of the unit on a demonstrator vehicle began earlier this year. By installing the battery-powered, electric hybrid power unit system into the vehicle’s rear axle, it offers OEMs a modular solution to turn front-drive architectures into AWD. The hybrid power unit allows for increased fuel savings when the unit operates in EV/hybrid mode; or increased performance, control and stability when it is in AWD mode.
Many sports production cars have roots in racing, but the ’12 Mustang Boss 302 is one of few that can boast such lineage on both sides of its family tree.
Guelph, Ontario – April 15, 2013 – As global demand for vehicles with all-wheel drive (AWD) capabilities and increased fuel efficiency continue to grow, Linamar Corporation’s newly developed Hybrid Power Unit offers automakers a modular system for hybrid AWD applications. The Linamar system also offers increased safety while reducing vehicle emissions and improving city driving fuel economy by up to 80%.
