Precision machining for water-cooled housings and end covers to ensure perfect fitment, stable structure, and OE-level heat dissipation.
High-precision balancing ensures smooth rotation, reduced vibration, and reliable performance under high-RPM duty cycles.
Semi-automatic stations with torque control & poka-yoke guarantee fastening accuracy and consistent assembly quality.
Every alternator is tested for output current, voltage regulation, rectifier integrity, and electrical safety before packaging.
Thermal cycling and full-load endurance tests validate heat resistance and long-term durability in heavy-duty applications.
Every water-cooled alternator undergoes:
100% output performance test
Voltage regulation test
High-temperature resistance test
Vibration and durability test
Rotor/stator electrical integrity testing
Noise & bearing inspection
Full load endurance test
All tests follow IATF 16949 quality-management requirements.
