Al escanearla con la aplicación, la etiqueta, que consiste en un código QR con un holograma integrado y huella digital única, indica inmediatamente si el producto es un producto auténtico Dana o una peligrosa falsificación. Esta autenticación ofrece resultados seguros: el código QR y la huella dactilar no se pueden copiar. La etiqueta figura en el envase del producto, pero a veces también se encuentra directamente en el producto.

Ventajas adicionales

La etiqueta Dana Secure y la aplicación benefician al cliente más allá de la verificación de autenticidad. La app Dana Secure ofrece a los clientes acceso directo a información detallada sobre productos y servicio técnico, así como instrucciones de instalación de repuestos. Unos enlaces complementarios llevan al catálogo digital de productos TecDoc de VICTOR REINZ. Los usuarios también pueden suscribirse en la aplicación al boletín de noticias de VICTOR REINZ y visitar el sitio web de VICTOR REINZ, acceder a fichas de datos de seguridad, seguir los canales de las redes sociales, y mucho más. La solución de seguridad digitalizada también mejora los esfuerzos de sostenibilidad al utilizar la aplicación para proporcionar toda la información relevante actualizada y en línea, lo que elimina la necesidad de imprimir la información del producto en papel.

Autenticidad garantizada al 100 %

La etiqueta Holographic Fingerprint™ es una tecnología de Authentic Vision, con sede en Salzburgo, uno de los principales proveedores de digitalización segura de productos. La etiqueta asegura tener un nivel de seguridad del 100 %. Ni siquiera la propia empresa Authentic Vision es capaz de reproducir ninguna de las huellas dactilares que produce.

 

Falsificadores en el punto de mira

La etiqueta Holographic Fingerprint™ es otra inversión de Dana en seguridad de los productos y una acción decisiva contra el aumento global de las falsificaciones. Como primer paso, Dana aplicará la etiqueta Secure Label a la gama de productos refaccionarios de VICTOR REINZ, y tiene previsto ampliar el programa a marcas como Spicer® y Glaser®.

1 millón de fans de Victoria

Hasta la fecha, los videotutoriales con la actriz principal Victoria se han visto casi un millón de veces. Con el nuevo episodio publicado, Dana satisface los deseos de numerosos usuarios que han solicitado un vídeo de montaje específico sobre la sustitución del anillo-retén integrado.

El vídeo dura 4:46 minutos. Como incluye exclusivamente secuencias de vídeo, planos detallados e iconos, se puede utilizar a escala internacional sin barreras lingüísticas y es fácil de entender para todos los aprendices y mecánicos privados. Toda persona que vea trabajar a Victoria estará familiarizado con los pasos de montaje más importantes y sabe qué pasos debe seguir para sustituir correctamente un anillo-retén integrado en la carcasa.

 

Cómo conseguir un sellado perfecto

Los pasos decisivos del montaje incluyen la comprobación de la brida del cigüeñal con respecto a posibles estrías y grietas, así como el montaje limpio y sin grasa del anillo-retén integrado mediante el casquillo de montaje. Además de la sustitución del anillo-retén integrado, Victoria demuestra lo importante que es desmontar completamente el cárter de aceite. Ocurre a menudo que el cárter de aceite se afloja solo parcialmente y que, a causa de cordones de estanqueidad mal aplicados, se producen posteriormente fugas entre la carcasa del anillo-retén y el cárter de aceite. En estado desmontado, la superficie de sellado se puede limpiar fácil y perfectamente, como se muestra en el vídeo, y volver a sellar perfectamente con REINZOSIL.

Por principio se aplica: Incluso el mejor anillo-retén integrado de VICTOR REINZ no puede proporcionar un sellado perfecto sin un montaje profesional que incluya todas las medidas de comprobación y limpieza. Con el nuevo vídeo de la serie «Consejos prácticos de Victoria», está garantizado el montaje y desmontaje del anillo-retén integrado.

Folding, transporting, placing, unfolding

Dana’s innovative battery-housing gasket is folded for transport to match the size of European pallets to a maximum size of 1,100 mm x 700 mm, making it especially useful for logistics and assembly. The gasket simply needs to be placed on the battery housing – and is unfolded using a installation fixture.  There is no risk of assembling the gasket incorrectly. The Victor Reinz^® folding gasket from Dana is already being used to seal the battery housings of vehicles in Europe and North America that are at the verge of introduction to the market.

 

Uninterruptible and self-extinguishing

The battery-housing gasket is a flat gasket made from a supporting sheet with a dual-sided elastomer seal. The seal and the folding elements form a circumferential and uninterruptible gasket profile around the entire rim of the battery housing.

The polymer is extruded with the edge molding process and features self-extinguishing properties. The folding gasket complies with the important regulation, UL94, where the polymer must self-extinguish within seconds. To further improve corrosion protection, each bolting location is also able to be sealed.

 

Folding instead of piecing together

When compared to other technical solutions such as pieced together and fluid seals, the folding gasket from Dana has a clear advantage.

The gasket is supplied as a single piece, eliminating the time-consuming and fault-prone piecing together of the individual gasket parts. The flexible elastomer folding elements are much more stable, withstand tensile, bending, and shearing forces, compensating for tolerances in the millimeter range and ensuring they remain securely in position. The gasket’s continuous sealing contour, without any cut, protects against potential leaking points due to bulging and elongation. If repairs are needed, the folding gasket can be removed and replaced without damaging the battery housing.

If the battery housing gasket is already pre-assembled by the supplier of the battery housing cover, Dana equips the gasket with additional insertion studs for the cover, as desired by the customer.

Key advantages of the batteryhousing gasket from Dana:

= Can be used for almost any battery housing

     = Standardized logistics on European pallets using 3-D folding

     = Faultless assembly with the fixture without piecing together

     = Uninterruptible gasket profile

     = Tolerance compensation through flexible elastomer folding elements

     = Minimized risk of leakage

     = Already being used by customers for vehicles awaiting their immediate launch

Las placas bipolares metálicas de Dana son un componente integral de la pila de combustible, con un coste y un rendimiento mejorados. Asimismo, su montaje es impecable, lo que ayuda a los fabricantes de equipos originales a comercializar la movilidad impulsada por pilas de combustible.

El saber hacer de Bosch en el sistema de pilas de combustible permitirá a ambas empresas seguir mejorando el diseño de las placas bipolares en las siguientes generaciones, por lo que respecta a competitividad de costes y rendimiento. Además, Bosch aporta una sólida competencia en procesos de producción en serie, especialmente en conceptos de soldadura láser, ensayos y automatización. Esta característica favorecerá el éxito del lanzamiento de la producción en serie de placas bipolares.

Para hacer frente a la creciente demanda del mercado, el volumen total de producción superará los 100 millones de placas bipolares metálicas en Europa, Asia Pacífico y Norteamérica. Se prevé que las placas sean compatibles con los trenes motrices de pila de combustible para aplicaciones en vehículos comerciales a partir de 2022.

«Dana ha innovado una tecnología de vanguardia de placas metálicas bipolares que está ayudando a los clientes a suministrar vehículos sin emisiones con pilas de combustible, a un coste que permite su adopción por el mercado actual», ha afirmado Antonio Valencia, presidente de Dana Power Technologies y Global Electrification. «Este acuerdo demuestra nuestra capacidad para ofrecer una placa bipolar metálica lista para el mercado, que elimina las barreras tradicionales de coste, complejidad y rendimiento, lo que supone un paso crucial para el crecimiento del mercado de las pilas de combustible.»

La placa bipolar, muy duradera, está diseñada para satisfacer las exigencias extremas de sellado, recubrimiento y precisión absoluta de las estructuras de grabado en relieve extrafinas.

Además, el proceso de conformación de alta velocidad totalmente integrado de Dana permite una mayor eficacia en la producción de grandes volúmenes a un menor coste, además de impulsar una mayor densidad de potencia.

650 000 vistas

En total, el canal de YouTube de VICTOR REINZ cuenta con doce tutoriales titulados «Trucos prácticos de Victoria», seis en la edición de turismos y seis en la de camiones. Hasta hoy, los trucos prácticos con el personaje principal Victoria cuentan con más de 650 000 visualizaciones.

La última temporada de la edición para camiones ofrece una guía paso a paso para el desmontaje y montaje de una junta de culata de un motor de camión de seis cilindros con culatas individuales. La junta de culata es uno de los repuestos más importantes del mercado de repuestos para camiones.

El tutorial tiene una duración de 5 minutos, es de idioma neutro y apto para uso internacional. Además, los datos importantes se destacan con iconos.  

Victoria facilita la labor a los principiantes

Por su parte, nuestros vídeos de montaje están dirigidos al público mundial de principiantes de los talleres de automoción. Quien haya visto a Victoria trabajar sabe sin duda del tema y las cuestiones clave.

Cambio de una junta de culata de camión en el guion gráfico

IEn el vídeo, la mecatrónica Victoria presenta la sustitución completa de una junta de culata en un motor de camión de seis cilindros. Se incluye la comparación del patrón de orificios, la medición de la protrusión del casquillo, la planicidad del componente y la pauta de apriete de los tornillos. Cada paso individual puede verse en detalle.

De nada sirve la mejor junta VICTOR REINZ si no se domina lo que se tiene entre manos. Los errores durante el montaje pueden dar al traste con toda la reparación. Un ejemplo es el clásico trapo olvidado en la cámara de combustión.

Acaba de estrenarse el cuarto episodio, sobre cómo instalar una junta del colector de escape.

Todos los vídeos de «Trucos prácticos de Victoria» ─tanto para coches como para camiones─ se pueden consultar gratuitamente en el sitio web de VICTOR REINZ: www.victorreinz.com/victoria.

Al parecer, estos vídeos de instrucciones de montaje de Dana han dado en el clavo con los clientes y, por tanto, con el grupo objetivo. Es lo que revelan las elevadas tasas de acceso al sitio web de VICTOR REINZ y las vistas a YouTube, que alcanzan cifras de cinco dígitos. El mérito reside en la posibilidad de ver exactamente cómo un profesional lleva a cabo el cambio en la práctica.


Instalación de la junta del colector de escape de un camión en el guion gráfico

Automechanika is the largest international trade show in the region for the automotive aftermarket, which takes place from September 19 – 21, 2019.

The new range of Victor Reinz gaskets for North American engine applications significantly expands coverage and seamlessly integrates into the current Victor Reinz product offerings of more than twenty-five thousand-part numbers.

Another highlight of this year’s show will most certainly be the newly built Spicer Jeep fitted with the Ultimate Dana 60™ crate axle which will be a major attraction for many attending this year. 

We look forward to welcoming you on our stand at the Automechanika Johannesburg, South Africa Stand OD22.

 

Dana will highlight its recently launched Victor Reinz gaskets for North American light vehicle applications, underlining the company’s market leadership as the only gasket manufacturer with a truly global offering. The new range of gaskets for North American engine applications significantly expands coverage and seamlessly integrates into the current Victor Reinz product offerings of more than 25,000 SKUs.

Beyond displaying its expanded product line, Dana also will showcase an array of Spicer products, including driveshafts, crate axles, and off-highway technologies. Of special interest will be Spicer u-joints for the Mercedes-Benz Actros, heavy-duty driveshaft range for Volvo Trucks and MAN Truck & Bus, and its unique offering of genuine Dana Spicer Jeep parts. As a first, visitors can see Dana’s exclusive Tru-Cool thermal solutions, including transmission oil coolers designed to significantly extend the life of transmissions and lubrications by maintaining lower operating temperatures. The transmission oil coolers are available in stacked plate or fin and plate design.

To see more of Dana’s products and technologies, visit the aftermarket sales team at Automechanika Dubai booth C34 in Hall 2 (located within the German Pavilion).

In 2018, Dana invested a total of 13.5 million euros to expand production of cylinder-head gaskets and transmission valve body separator plates.  This investment created 60 new jobs.  With the new, fully automated coating and assembly lines, as well as the new press line, Dana is creating additional capacities for cylinder-head gaskets for use in internal combustion engines.

“We are providing additional resources and production capacities to optimally serve our customers' increased market share and continuous sales growth in the engine production segment,” said Stefan Genelin, head of automotive products for Dana Power Technologies, Neu-Ulm site.  “Thanks to the new production lines, we can produce a cylinder-head gasket every 1.86 seconds”.

The new coating line, equipped with state-of-the-art technology, punches the gasket blanks directly from the coil.  They are then washed, pre-treated, primed, coated, dried, and vulcanized – all fully automatic – with the highest quality.  From these semi-finished products, the sealing layers for the proven Victor Reinz^® multi-layer steel cylinder-head gaskets are punched out, embossed, and stacked.  Finally, the gaskets are riveted on the new assembly line.  The latest camera technology is used for automatic quality Control.

The new production lines supplement current operations and expand production capacity by increasing the level of automation, including improved product quality and competitiveness.

In addition to investments in the production of cylinder-head gaskets, a new washing area and cleanroom were built for the manufacture of transmission plates for automatic and dual-clutch transmissions.

The new operations can also be used in the future to manufacture components for battery-powered or fuel cell-powered electric vehicles.

To enable users to gather images of different products simultaneously, Dana’s new mediapool for Victor Reinz has multi-search functionality as part of the high-tech platform. Searching for multiple parts at the same time can be done via copying and pasting either a product list from a document or excel spreadsheet into the portal. In addition, by providing instant access to high-quality media kits, the comprehensive media database complements the e-commerce capabilities and detailed product information available on DanaAftermarket.com.

“Dana’s new mediapool platform represents a unique system in the aftermarket and new way to make our trusted Victor Reinz products accessible to customers,” said Rico Schlegel, Victor Reinz Product Manager at Dana. “A key motivation behind launching the extensive media site was repeated customer requests for an increasing number of high-quality images. With this advanced mediapool, we are pleased to give users the ability to search for, download, and share a range of photos for every part to help them better showcase the Victor Reinz brand.”

Since the mediapool includes all-new images, Dana worked for two years to capture the thousands of searchable photos for the platform. Each image is high-resolution and print-quality.

The seven-minute video shows the necessary step-by-step work processes – from removing the cylinder-head and cleaning the sealing surfaces, to tightening the new cylinder-head bolts. The short film can be used internationally because it works completely without speakers and text fadeins. Icons indicate safety-related information and important tips.

The complete assembly is carried out by the well-known expert, Victoria. The video is a seamless continuation of the successful series, “Victoria’s practical tips,” now with a total of six episodes.

As Dana continues to expand DanaAftermarket.com capabilities for its EMEA and global customers, the company plans to launch part-searching features for its Victor Reinz^® and Glaser^® brands by the end of this year.

Automechanika 2018 is held from Sept. 11-15 in Frankfurt, Germany. 

This certificate is an extension of the basic standard ISO 9001 and contains special process specifications for automotive manufacturers. The required automotive-specific quality standards apply across the entire supply chain of the automotive industry. The goal of IATF 16949 is to document supplier quality in a verifiable manner thereby strengthening the trust base of the customers even further than previously. IATF stands for International Automotive Task Force, a consortium of the leading automotive manufacturers and associations.

“After implementing a strict action plan, we are now the proud owners of the IATF certificate,” says Willi Gaier, Head of Quality Management at Dana in Neu-Ulm, Germany.

“The certification is a basic requirement for Reinz-Dichtungs-GmbH. Without IATF 16949, you as a supplier are virtually excluded from supplying an automobile manufacturer (OEM), this also applies to new orders,” the quality expert continues.

The quality management under the direction of Willi Gaier had to first filter the newly added requirements of the IATF and then compare them with the existing processes in the company. “In most cases we were already compliant with the standard, we had to install new processes or adapt process technologies in one position or another,” says Willi Gaier. “Overall, we didn't sweat in the course of the five-day audit.”

One of the special requirements of the automotive industry is the sampling after a production stop for more than one or two years - and even longer, depending on the customer. A matter of course for Reinz-Dichtungs-GmbH: The current parts catalog goes back to cylinder head gaskets from the 1950s.

The IATF 16949 certificate is valid for three years and must be confirmed annually by IATF-certified auditors. After expiration a re-certification is necessary.

The award was granted in the framework of the 2018 EME Supplier Day at the AGCO plant of combine harvester production in Breganze, Italy, under the motto “We strive for perfect partnerships”. Volker Just, Key Account Manager, accepted the award for Dana Neu-Ulm.

AGCO is one of the worldwide leading manufactures of agricultural machines and tractors with the known brand Challenger®, Fendt®, GSI®, Massey Ferguson® and Valtra®.


Teuvo Mehtanen, Director Purchasing, AGCO Power

“Reinz-Dichtungs-GmbH is a company very close to AGCO and who ensures with its gaskets that everything stays in place as it should – whether pressure, oil or temperature. Not only do they give AGCO high priority and work closely with our engineers and researchers, they also ensure year after year outstanding quality with zero ppm values and 100% compliance with requirements. Dana/Reinz is a partner who supports AGCO with the latest innovations and manufacturing processes and who also supports its customers in markets where there is a lot of competition”.


Given priority

For Dana/Reinz, the AGCO “Partner” status means more than just an award for a long-standing collaboration that began in the 1970s and has been very intensive and successful for 15 years.

“Being a Partner means that we are given priority in inquiries, especially for new developments, and are the first supplier to be approached. This means that we are involved in new projects very early on and always get the chance to submit our offer early”, explains Volker Just, Key Account Manager, about the benefits.

Currently Dana/Reinz supplies the motors of AGCO among others with three-layer metal cylinder head gaskets featuring wave stopper technology and exhaust manifold gaskets.

Be it for torque converter automatic transmissions or continuously variable transmissions (CVT): car manufacturers need transmission control plates (separator plates) for flow control and for sealing off the hydraulic control unit at the same time. The problem: solutions previously available on the market tend to leak, impairing the transmission’s efficiency. Even tiny particles of dirt can damage adjoining components (such as valves), and thus the entire system. Doesn’t it seem obvious that a gasket specialist would put special effort into the development and construction of transmission control plates? That’s just what Dana did. The company has decades of experience in cylinder-head gaskets and is now one of the leading suppliers of metal beaded flat gasket systems.


The starting shot: the establishment of a production facility in Neu-Ulm in 2015

In 2015, US automotive supplier Dana installed a new production plant in Neu-Ulm. It specializes in the production of transmission control plates and meets the strictest cleanroom requirements. The entire production and assembly is fully automated. Even quality control is handled by a camera system, so that trained employees in special clothing only come into contact with the finished and packaged product during preparation for shipping. The machines and lines are specifically designed for movements in the micrometer range. “The presses punch the transmission control plates with maximum precision. Cutting-edge production lines then handle partial coating along the complex seal contours with a special elastomer developed in-house,” explains Robert Blersch, Senior Manager for Products in Transition at Dana. “The result is a reliable seal which can withstand even aggressive transmission oils. With this degree of leak-tightness, the transmission control plate increases the efficiency of the entire transmission and makes a major contribution to modern drive concepts with reduced consumption values and CO₂ emissions.”


Further developments: Production facilities in China and the USA

It wasn’t long before market demand exceeded the initial plant capacity of the production facility in Neu-Ulm. Volkswagen, for instance, now uses the new transmission control plates on a large scale for its DL 382 7-gear dual clutch transmission in models from AUDI. Other original-equipment manufacturers are also requesting large quantities. “For that reason, we expanded production based on the Neu-Ulm model to a Dana plant in Wuxi – a city not far from Shanghai in the Jiangsu province,” explains Robert Blersch. This puts global production volumes in the range of several million transmission control plates per year. And that will continue to rise. “Against the background of rapid and sustained growth in Europe and China, we are also thinking about serial production in North America. 95 percent of the automobiles there run with automatic transmissions. We would also integrate production into Dana’s existing production facilities.”


A brief description of transmission control plates

Modern automatic transmissions have to enable more and more shifting operations in shorter and shorter reaction times. This poses a big challenge for the transmission’s hydraulic system. At its core is a hydraulic shifter and an electronic transmission control unit comprised in a single mechatronics module. While the control unit continuously calculates the most efficient gear during the trip, the hydraulic shifter takes care of implementing it. And where is the transmission control plate located? Directly in the hydraulic module. It controls the flow of transmission oil through the flow channels to control the automatic transmission. At the same time, it seals off the entire system inside and out.

BMW engines have a compact design, achieve high performance per liter of displacement, produce maximum peak injection pressures and exhibit different combustion chamber diameters. In addition, they feature specific designs with an open oil channel across the entire width of the gasket and valve bags. Altogether, a true challenge for the gasket specialists from Dana.

In the basic design, the engineers from Neu-Ulm developed a multi-layer steel cylinder-head gasket (MLS) with identical top and bottom sheets for gasoline and diesel engines for the BMW modular engine unit. Partially coated stainless steel 1.4310 with different thicknesses is used. To seal the combustion chamber of gasoline engines Dana uses the wave stopper® technology while distance sheet stoppers are used for diesel engines. With gasoline engines, backland stoppers seal the balance of the gasket in addition.

Because of the specific requirements of the new BMW engine generation, the gasket experts had to take entirely new development approaches. Standardized safety distances for beads and bore holes to adjacent functional elements were completely reassessed. Expanded basic development helped in addition to ensure the enhanced requirements. Manufacturing methods considered so far not feasible produced outstanding sealing results, especially when punching backland stoppers. All development steps were assessed first via FE analyses and implemented upon agreement with BMW, tooling procurement and production.  

"The cooperation with BMW is always a special challenge to us, however, it also allows us advancing together with BMW. The tasks presented to us require our entire engineering development know-how", says Hans-Dieter Waltenberg, project manager at Dana in Neu-Ulm. "When BMW is then satisfied with our solutions in the end, both sides are winners."

Currently, the development and optimization work for the 2nd generation of the BMW modular engine unit is underway. Especially the 2.0 l four-cylinder in-line engine (gasoline) requires beads and additional backland stoppers.

Dana’s exhibit attracted show attendees with many new products, including a new Spicer® Medium Duty Commercial Vehicle Series driveshaft for the Mercedes Benz Sprinter, recently introduced online catalog, and interaction with their on-site technical experts from every region.  Visitors were pleased with Dana’s exceptional hospitality and dynamic nature of the exhibit, which created key opportunities for Dana to interact with current customers, and attract and inform potential new customers from around the globe.

Dana optimized the instructions in an effort to simplify the layout and make it easier for customers to follow each assembly step. Previous instructions included written explanations in German, English, and French, while the new design is entirely visual. The company’s product program management team designed the new options to be user-friendly and offer a comprehensive, product-specific, and visually appealing guide to Victor Reinz installations.

The instructions have been updated for multiple Victor Reinz aftermarket products, including cylinder-head gaskets, sealants, valve cover gaskets, half rings, integrated oil seals, and more. Installation instructions are shipped with orders. Customers also can access additional product details, view the complete Victor Reinz product portfolio, search part numbers, and find global network and sales partners on www.victorreinz.com.

Dana announced today it has launched a mobile platform of the Victor Reinz^® aftermarket products website. The original Victor Reinz website, www.victorreinz.com, has been optimized for mobile users, allowing customers to easily access up-to-date information through any mobile device.

Dana created the platform in response to an increasing amount of users opting to use their smart phones and tablets for easier access to content on the go. Like the traditional website, the mobile platform is user-friendly, offering a variety of content such as assembly and installation instructions. The convenient download area allows users to access a complete product catalog, which includes more than 15,000 items and a variety of product brochures. Mobile users can access concise information about Victor Reinz aftermarket products, including cylinder-head gaskets, cylinder-head bolts, turbocharger-mounting-kits, valve cover gaskets, oils seals, and sealants, simply by browsing the site or searching for specific parts or product numbers.

The production of transmission control plates is subject to demanding cleanliness requirements – even the tiniest particles can permanently damage the functioning of the parts. For this reason, the specially built production facility on the premises of Dana has been adapted to meet the strictest requirements of the automotive industry. The entire production and assembly is fully automatic and uses a newly developed method that guarantees the highest levels of industrial cleanliness. Quality control is conducted by a camera vision system. Individually trained employees wearing special clothing in a clean room prepare the finished, assembled transmission control plates for shipping.

For Bruno Keller, production manager, this process is a further milestone in the production of innovative gasket systems. The Dana development team took advantage of its established knowledge in the field of developing and producing multi-layer-steel cylinder-head gaskets while carrying out its transmission control plate project. The company was one of the first manufacturers to develop and produce metal-elastomer cylinder-head gaskets and is now one of the leading suppliers of metal-elastomer sealing systems. This solution has set the benchmark for the industry thanks to its many innovations. The elastomer coating developed in-house is a decisive prerequisite for the seal and thus for the reliable functioning of the automatic transmission’s hydraulic module. According to Günther Unseld, director, global advanced manufacturing, this is a further step in expanding the technological leadership of Dana.

Victor Reinz^® transmission control plates unlock completely new possibilities for gearbox manufacturers: earlier sealing concepts always exhibit tiny leaks. Dana’s new gasket design offers maximum reliability, improves the efficiency of the entire drivetrain, and thus makes an important contribution to increasing the efficiency of modern drive concepts with reduced consumption value and CO₂ emissions.

With the production of transmission control plates, Dana is tapping into a new field of business with enormous potential for development, since more and more automobiles are equipped with automatic, dual-clutch, stageless or automated manual transmissions. Potential customers include all of the world’s largest automotive and transmission manufacturers. The first serial production orders for a European automobile manufacturer have already come in.

The new production line for transmission control plates is a strong signal from Dana to its subsidiary REINZ-Dichtungs-GmbH. This investment further reinforces the Neu-Ulm location, securing existing jobs and creating new ones. And Neu-Ulm is the starting point for the transmission control plates’ worldwide roll-out. Serial production launch in China is just around the corner, while further market introductions are being planned.

Innovative automatic transmissions combine the advantages of hand-shifted and conventional automatic transmissions in a single transmission concept. More and more shifting operations with shorter and shorter reaction times create a significant challenge for the transmission’s hydraulic system. This system’s control center includes a mechatronics module that combines electronic transmission control and the hydraulic shifter within the gearbox into a single unit. The control unit calculates the most efficient gear, while the hydraulics handle the operation. The transmission control plate is directly placed in the mechatronic unit’s hydraulic module and fulfils a dual function: first, it seals off the entire system inside and out, and second, it controls the flow of transmission oil through the flow channels to control the automatic transmission.

In order to have a successful launch, Dana has ensured the site is as user-friendly as possible, offering a variety of content, including detailed product listings, assembly and installation instructions, and a complete product catalog. Website visitors also can receive more information about Victor Reinz aftermarket products, such as cylinder-head gaskets, sealants, manifold gaskets, and turbocharger mounting kits. The informative new website format is rounded out by a comprehensive download area containing a full product catalog – with more than 15,000 items – and product brochures.

Another valuable feature available to Chinese users is an optimized search function, an efficient resource used to learn more about Victor Reinz sales partners and its global impact. The site now features an interactive world map, which highlights members of the worldwide sales network and includes individual contact information.

In addition to these enhanced features, the latest news is communicated to customers through regular updates to the website, including product details, service information, and event dates.

Dana will be displaying its aftermarket technologies in booth 5BF101 at Auto Shanghai 2015, scheduled from April 22-29. Auto Shanghai is one of the leading automotive industry trade events in China, building a platform for collaboration between Chinese and international auto companies. As this year’s theme is “Innovation for Upgrading,” Dana and other suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors will be displaying innovative technologies and products.

As soon as the TecDoc Catalog or TecDoc WEB Catalog displays a Victor Reinz® service part as a search result, the user will see a download button at the top right under the “Service Information” tab. The relevant Technical Service Information from the specialists in Neu-Ulm is available for direct download in PDF format here.

“We want to give our customers quick and easy access to our repair and installation instructions. So it makes sense to put our information where our customers are actually looking for service parts: in TecDoc catalogs,” explains Edwin Puscher, Dana service parts sales manager for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

An example such as the Victor Reinz oil seal for the crankshaft of many different engines makes it quite clear how important the Technical Service Information is:

With this oil seal, the crankshaft sealing ring is seated in the sealing ring housing, requiring a special tool to install it properly. If the installation instructions are not followed, the engine won’t start anymore or will only run in “emergency” mode. In such case, the TSI from TecDoc will provide practical assistance for the work at the shop.

As soon as the TecDoc catalog or TecDoc web catalog displays a Victor Reinz cylinder-head gasket as a search result, the user will see a link to the matching set of cylinder-head bolts (as long as they can be allocated directly). This means that shop employees won’t have to spend time searching for compatible aftermarket bolts in Victor Reinz OE quality when using TecDoc and the catalogs it generates.

The only thing that’s faster is the Victor Reinz online catalog: In addition to the right cylinder-head gasket or head-set, this database exclusively presents Victor Reinz brand bolt kits.

Bolts are the element which connects the engine block, cylinder-head gasket and cylinder-head, which means they are essential to achieve the necessary contact pressure – and thus ensure that the sealing system will work. Victor Reinz brand cylinder-head bolts are usually reduced shaft bolts, which are tightened beyond their elastic limit and into the plastic range. In combination with the torque angle tightening method, this guarantees uniform high bolt forces. In the first step, the bolt is tightened with pretorque to apply it to the cylinder-head. In the second tightening step (known as the prevailing angle or torque), the bolt is tightened beyond its elastic limit and into the plastic range. The result: a secure cylinder-head sealing joint which does not require any retightening.

Make sure only to use cylinder-head bolts from quality manufacturers. Victor Reinz cylinder-head bolts meet manufacturer requirements and are ideally matched to fit gasket sets. The tightening guidelines are enclosed with every delivery, of course.

More detailed information on cylinder-head bolts and cylinder-head installation can be found in our “Tips and Practical Information No. 2.” The brochures can be downloaded free-of-charge at www.victorreinz.com/brochures.

During normal operation, the turbocharger is integrated into the lubrication circuit and is constantly rinsed with oil – but after it’s been replaced, it starts out dry. Only once the engine has been started does the lubrication circuit build up the necessary pressure to fill the turbocharger with oil – but there’s a delay. And this critical dry phase is precisely what REINZOADD is there for to bridge. It is essential to fill up the turbocharger before the first compression takes place. Otherwise, the turbocharger will run hot and cause irreparable damage – or even total destruction – to the engine.

REINZOADD uses the solid lubricant MoS2 to form a heavy-duty lubricating film on all surfaces of the turbocharger to reduce friction and wear – with ideal properties for emergency operation. The turbocharger is ready to start right away.

The Dana turbo experts recommend using REINZOADD every time a turbocharger is installed – for all designs from conventional turbochargers to ones with variable turbine geometry.

Benefits of REINZOADD lubricant

• A tested additive for initial turbocharger filling which has proven itself in daily use at the shop
• An effective combination of additional ingredients and MoS2
• Allows you to start up the turbocharger safely right after installation
• Reduces friction and wear
• Improves turbochargers’ emergency operation properties and extends their service lives

In tests, cured samples of REINZOSIL had to prove their resistance under a wide range of temperatures in biogas motor oil. Even after two weeks at 120°C, the compound exhibited no visual changes such as swelling, discoloration or other damage. The measurement values for the technical material properties remained within a good tolerance range in all trials in the tensile testing machine.

“The positive test result for biogas motor oil gives our customers certainty”, a fact that product manager Christian Katzer is happy to note. “The result once again underlines the versatility of REINZOSIL.”

Both versions offer expanded convenience and search functions in addition to the classic catalog in print form. The Victor Reinz® product line app makes it especially easy to find the replacement part you’re looking for.

“Customers can conduct searches using all of the vehicle manufacturers’ OE numbers as well as item, use, comparison or competitor number. If Dana has the part in question in its product line, then the customer will be able to find it,” assures Dana product manager Guido Reiter. “It could be anything from a cylinder head gasket to a turbocharger installation kit; it makes no difference at all. If none of the aforementioned numbers is on hand, then the vehicle’s type number will usually suffice for a successful search,” continues Guido Reiter.

The Victor Reinz® product line app can be found at the app store for download worldwide. It is currently available in German, English, French, Italian, Dutch and Spanish. Further languages will be added shortly.

Dana is expanding its portfolio of top-quality sealing technology for the aftermarket. With more than 800 applications and 170 references, the world’s leading sealing specialist is setting new benchmarks in the business of turbocharger mounting kits.

The solutions Dana offers for passenger, commercial, off-highway and agricultural vehicles are optimal for meeting all the challenges posed by the replacement of turbochargers. While the outer packing is labeled with model version and engine type, the inside contains everything the assembler needs to do his work – and all that made of ultra high-quality materials. Stud metal screws and nuts satisfy DIN standards 10.9 and 8.8 for heat-resistant materials.

Victor Reinz® turbocharger mounting kits are high-performance product packages for dealers and shops alike, perfectly matched to meet turbocharger replacement requirements. The kits are custom-configured for each individual turbocharger and contain all the gaskets and parts needed for the safe and expert assembly of components, ranging from turbo gaskets and secondary sealing systems to shielding parts. The product portfolio is being extended continuously.
Dana optionally supplies the MoS2 additive REINZOADD. Prior to initial operation the oil bore must be completely filled to prevent the turbocharger from running dry.The fully synthetic molybdenum disulfide (MOS2)-based solid lubricant suspension in mineral oil forms a heavy-duty lubricating film on all frictional and sliding surfaces to reduce friction and wear. REINZOADD has optimal emergency running properties and provides an extra-long service life for the turbocharger.

From today, complete gasket sets will be available on the replacement parts market for the Toyota hybrid-drive models Auris and Prius. With this development, Dana has once again proven its sealing competence in sustainable engine concepts.

The Auris and Prius hybrids are equipped with a 1.8 liter VVT-i gasoline engine (2ZR-FXE) with an output of 73 kW (99 hp). The range of replacement parts includes the following Victor Reinz components:

• MLS cylinder head gasket (3-layer)
• Cylinder head bolts
• Valve cover gasket
• Valve stem seal
• Intake gaskets
• Oil seals

„Hybrid drive technology and Victor Reinz sealing know-how make perfect synergy. The aim was to deliver the optimum sealing technology for engine repair work in order to ensure the Toyota hybrids’ outstanding emission values," explains Erwin Widmann, Aftermarket Product Manager at Dana.
