"BorgWarner's CTA(TM) technology optimizes variable cam timing, making it more efficient at all engine speeds, with faster response than traditional hydraulic oil-actuated VCT systems," said
Unlike traditional cam phasing methods which typically use engine oil pressure to phase the camshaft, BorgWarner's CTA(TM) technology captures the existing torsional energy in the valve train to accomplish this event, similar to a hydraulic ratchet. CTA(TM) cam phasers operate more quickly and under a wider range of engine speeds and temperatures than traditional oil pressure actuated cam phasers. These factors allow CTA(TM) variable cam timing to more efficiently improve fuel economy, reduce emissions and increase horsepower.
BorgWarner's patented CTA(TM) Camshaft Phasing System has been named a finalist for the prestigious 2009 Automotive News PACE Awards, recognized around the world as the industry symbol of innovation. Launched on the upgraded Ford Duratec 3.0-liter V-6 engine for the 2009 Ford Escape, the technology will also be featured in the 2010 Ford Fusion and
BorgWarner Morse TEC manufactures engine timing systems that are quiet, durable, precise and cost effective. Engines equipped with BorgWarner variable cam timing (VCT) technology operate independently of oil pressure to deliver more horsepower, better performance, and improved fuel economy over traditional cam phasing devices in the marketplace today. HY-VO(R) chain systems, which are available for front wheel drive transmissions, 4WD transfer cases and hybrid power drives, transmit power between shafts efficiently, quietly and economically with considerable weight savings over gear technology.
