Root-cause analysis & problem solving
Understanding the problem but above all, find a quick, reliable and affordable solution.
Data analysis
If you were logging some sensors during the failure, we can help you to process the data thanks to our specific algorithm developed exclusively for gearbox analysis.
We propose vibration processing (accelerometers) and correlation calculations. If you need specific sensors, our partners will be able to install sensors and log them at high speed with very good accuracy.
Root-cause analysis
Before solving a problem, it is good to know what are the root-causes. Our engineers are here to help you to find the main causes. Our experience and our powerful post-processing software will give you a strong aid to identify quickly the root-causes.
Find the best solution
Usually, people spend a lot of time in root-cause identification and less time on the solution. Our F1 experience showed that the most important is to get back on track as soon as possible with high reliability. That’s why we spend a lot of time to find the solution which best suits your constraints (manufacturing, packaging, materials, etc.).
Bespoke gearbox design and manufacturing is the leitmotif of our company. Our processes are adapted to this business. Therefore we can offer best-in-class race motorbike gearboxes perfectly suited to your needs. You can fully take advantage of your engine power curve while increasing the reliability.
The BE gearboxes designed by PSA-Peugeot-Citroën are strong gearboxes that are still very much used in race cars (especially on 2L engines). These gearboxes are fitted with synchronizers based on the “New-Process” system. Synchronisation is achieved by means of a threaded conical aluminium ring sliding against a steel flange attached to the pinion. Although satisfactory in everyday use, the aluminium rings become weak points when used in severe application, like in motorsport (rally, track, hillclimbing). This is mainly due to the fact that the cast aluminium used for the original parts loses its mechanical properties when the temperature rises sharply. This results in a much shorter life span of the ring as well as difficulties in synchronization, which is detrimental to performance and reliability. For this reason, Involute Transmissions designs and manufactures synchronizer rings in high performance wrought aluminium, which allows a very high endurance of the rings in competition. This aluminium is usually used in severe aeronautical applications. Unlike the original rings, they are screwed onto the bars, which makes replacement easy and affordable. These rings are suitable for all BE gearboxes (BE1, BE3 and BE4).
