BorgWarner is the worldwide leader in automatic transmission clutch components and systems, BorgWarner supplies wet friction clutch modules, friction plates, transmission bands, torsional vibration dampers, lockup clutches and one-way clutches. Our DualTronic dual clutch modules lead the global market in transmission applications and production volume.
We developed and introduced the world’s first high volume series production dual clutch module for automotive transmissions more than ten years ago. Today we produce over 800 thousand units annually, supporting the widest range of vehicle applications in the in the segment.Tunable launch characteristics and scalable torque capacity ensure a dual clutch transmission equipped with BorgWarner’s DualTronic™ Clutch System delivers fuel economy that rivals single clutch automated gearboxes and shift quality that rivals the best conventional automatic transmissions.
Combining Friction Plate and Separator technology, we offer single sided friction plates and collated packs. Each steel plate in the pack serves as a reaction surface, allowing greater active friction surface area and increased torque capacity over a conventional double sided design of the same volume.
As an extension of friction plate and piston plate technology, we offer technical expertise and proven track record of designing and manufacturing torque converter clutch friction elements - from single facings to multiple plate configurations.
Our Torsional Vibration Dampers offer stable damper characteristics over the products lifetime, minimal temperature impact on performance, excellent vehicle response and engine agility through low inertia, simplified system tuning in combination with DCT module and space efficient packaging.
Excellence in wet friction technologies has enabled us to provide brake plates with superior durability, NVH characteristics and reduced parasitic drag. We have the technology and experience to engineer cost effective solutions to your most demanding applications.
As a recognized leader in both double sided and single sided friction plate solutions our collated pack assemblies offer our customers further benefits: Tighter stack height tolerance, more consistent performance, reduced assembly complexity, and simplified logistics.
Separator plates are "where the heat goes" during a shift and are another important component of the clutch system. We design and manufacture our own high quality / performance separators for demanding applications. A variety of proprietary processes and surface finishes are available to fine tune performance for demanding applications. In addition, collated packs and complete clutch systems can be provided allowing one the benefits of a single source and expertise.
As a leading supplier of integrated transmission control systems, we supply complete electro-hydraulic control modules for state-of-the-art dual clutch, planetary automatic, and automated manual transmissions.
Various types of solenoids, including low-leak, proportional, direct-acting, on-off and pulse-width modulated valves.
BorgWarner’s Variable Bleed Solenoid (VBS) is a cost effective option for signal level proportional control applications. Closed-end design enables low leakage at both high and low pressure extremes of the control pressure. This feature reduces the parasitic pump losses associated with more conventional VBS designs. Our closed end VBS is available in both normally high and normally low configurations.
BorgWarner designs and manufactures high pressure proportional solenoid valves for common rail direct injection fuel systems. Maximum operating pressure to 2,400 bars available.
BorgWarner designs and manufactures mechanical pressure relief check valves for high pressure systems. When pre-calibrated threshold pressures are exceeded, the valve opens in order to drop the pressure. Also available with a "limp home" function: the valve maintains a constant level of pressure in the injection system enabling the vehicle to operate.
High quality power transmission chains for front-wheel drive transmissions, 4WD/AWD transfer cases and Hybrid off-axis drive applications - P2, P3, P4. Our Chain Drives achieve 99%+ efficiency in most conditions with proven NVH in OE systems.
