New
Features and technology:
‘2-piece’
Forged Case Style Design
Never stop chasing
better achievements, TRE 4x4 team is
Dedicated to the
constant improvement and evolution of
our Air Locker
product lines.
During the last
few years, TRE’s Air Locker technical staffs
have been quietly
moving from a ‘3-piece’ air locker case
design to the
stronger forged ‘2-piece’ style, in addition
to packing some
more innovations inside the TRE Air Locker.
Delivering a
phenomenal 40% improvement in static torque
strength
compared with the equivalent ‘3-piece’ design, the
‘2-piece’ style
is now available across the entire TRE Air
Locker range.
This means no new TRE Air Lockers use the old
three-piece
technology anymore. Beside this, the stronger
‘2-piece’ style
case is made from forged 8620 nickel
-chromium-molybdenum
tool steel.
Forged Gears
Besides the updated case design, forged side gear
sets are
Now being used across the entire TRE Air Locker
production
lines. TRE side gears are made from 4320 chromoly alloy steel,
which has high
toughness and strength. These precision gears
have an increased load carrying capacity and fatigue
strength.
Forged gears are typically found in the most
demanding
applications such as heavy industrial, commercial,
racing,
and agriculture transmissions. From a metallurgical
standpoint, there is no stronger way to produce a
gear. This
is because the forging process produces a part whose
internal
molecular grain flow closely conforms to the shape of
each
individual tooth. This cannot be achieved with other
producing ways.
New Warranty
TRE Air Locker utilized
the ‘2-piece’ forged case and the forged
alloy steel gears,
means TRE air locker will works more time on
road without
problem, it makes TRE can offer longer Warranty
period to all
customers. From Dec 2014 moving forward, all
‘2-piece’ Air
Lockers sold are now supported by a 5 year
warranty free from
defects in materials and workmanship,
increasing from
the previous 2 year coverage.
