AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Sept. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- At the
North American Commercial Vehicle (NACV) Show, BorgWarner will
introduce the Smart Integrated Magnetic Switch (IMS) to the
aftermarket. Designed for Class 6 – 8 on-highway trucks as well as
off-highway agricultural, construction and stationary power
equipment, the Smart IMS is integrated into the proven Delco
Remy® Genuine Products 39MT™ heavy-duty
starter, enabling easy aftermarket replacement without any
additional vehicle wiring required. Featuring six electronic
functions, the Smart IMS protects the starter from potential damage
caused by system or operator error. Due to this extensive
protection, the 39MT starter with Smart IMS offers a more robust
warranty than conventional starters.
"BorgWarner's No. 1 replacement starter in the aftermarket has
built a strong reputation for quality and dependability. With our
new Smart IMS technology, the Delco Remy branded 39MT starter now
offers protection for a wide range of potentially damaging system
issues, drop-in replacement plus a more robust warranty," said
Randy Andis, Director, Commercial
Vehicle Aftermarket, BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems. "Our
patent-pending technology is designed to improve overall durability
and reliability by specifically preventing failures caused by the
system or operator. With virtually zero click-no-cranks, Smart IMS
delivers added value and improved customer satisfaction."
Six functions protect the starter from potential system
failures. In case of click-no-crank, an engagement monitor
automatically retries the starter without operator intervention to
avoid overheating the solenoid. Rapid re-engagement lockout
prevents damage to the pinion and ring gear, running engine lockout
averts failures from engagement with a running engine, and
low-voltage lockout avoids overcranking and solenoid chatter.
Time-limited crank also prevents overcranking, and auto-disengage
at engine start avoids extended overruns. These functions combine
to increase the life of the starter and engine while improving the
driver's experience.
