Composite Wrist Pins
The patented hybrid-composite wristpins we have developed demonstrate a significant weight reduction when compared to conventional steel wristpins. The process of reducing weight not only improves acceleration, power generation and engine efficiency but also guarantees exceptional resistance to deformation when subjected to extreme loads, harmful harmonics, and temperatures. Due to its high priority, our composite material exhibits exceptional stiffness, often surpassing that of tool steel on a volume basis. Designed to accommodate power outputs exceeding 12,000 horsepower, these wristpins exhibit remarkable resistance to fatigue while also offering a substantial weight reduction of more than one pound per wristpin. Consequently, they deliver enhanced performance and durability.
Why Composite Parts?
Our composite parts are significantly lighter than traditional steel, titanium, and aluminum parts. Switching to lighter parts will increase your motor response time and acceleration. Lighter parts also carry less momentum, meaning they will put less stress on other parts and increase safety for your driver and engine.
Composites have a different resonance frequency than steel and aluminum which, eliminates the harmful harmonic effects that accumulate in an all-metal engine. Your other engine parts will also benefit by experiencing less stress and fatigue, making composite parts a long-term and cost-effective investment.
The properties of composites can be optimized for different situations by varying fiber types, fiber architectures, resin systems, and manufacturing processes. Through years of rigorous research and development, we have engineered each of our parts to leverage the benefits of specific treatments and formulas. Because of this, our parts are just as strong or stronger than incumbent parts while being a fraction of the weight.
These factors translate to a significant increase in the performance, longevity, and safety of your engine. As the leader in advanced structural composites, we are revolutionizing the automotive industry.
