When air brake system needs to get maintenance, making right decision is crucial. However, when we think that heavy duty vehicle aftermarket is complicated, the minds can be confused especially when making decision to choose remanufactured and rebuilt air brake parts. And the inappropriate choices may bring about the risk of part misfunction in addition to damage that might be costlier than the lowest-cost options. We think that air brake caliper repair kits are functional to a heavy-duty vehicle’s safe operation such as caliper needle bearing, caliper mechanism gear shaft, brake pad retainer, caliper rebuild kit and lining bolt. ISP Auto gives assistance to make the right decision by rendering guidance on what to demand when replacing these air brake caliper repair kits, and by providing them with information about the differences between originals and after sale market.
Quality of an air brake caliper repair kit is crucial factor . A manufacturer always follows the standards to bring the caliper repair kit up to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specs. Besides, true manufacturer should be aware of using appropriate materials.
The core of a product might be dissassembled in order to use again, they may not be in need of substituting of the components of that product for new ones or put the product back into its OEM specs. These are for marketing and customer solutions especially in aftermarket. The manufacturer who wants to make extensive structural repairs should not only clean or repaint components. Even though If they change them, they may not be able to full access to OEM-quality parts.
Manufactured Again Certification might be helpful to find out a true remanufacturer. The certification programs which have been launched in recent years, are observed by ISP AUTO. The criteria in accordance with the internationally recognized quality management standard ISO 9001 and IATF 16949, a series of standards which meets certain standards of quality and confirm and verify commercial products and processes internationally. In order to obtain Manufactured Again Certification, manufacturers who would like to manufacture again must present to the third-party evidence of conformity.
A Closer Look At Air Compressor
Remanufactured air compressor should be examined in terms of the parts such as
pistons, connecting rods, and crankshafts.These parts are subject to stress, and the compressor’s head and valves encounter carbon accumulation. They may contine failure points if they’re not changed during remanufacturing process. It should be underlined that the importance of replacing those parts with OEM components.
On the other hand, remanufactured compressor’s piston should be made more effective and suitable for the bore. ISP Auto advises that the bore might be worn. As it wears off, not able to match with the piston as it originally suits. Therefore, piston should be honed again throughout the process in order to make sure piston is capable of passing the right amount of oil.
Briefly saying that the parts such as caps, boots, bushings and adjuster bearings should not only be substituted but also cleaned and installed again.
