Alternators

The product promotion includes 185 articles of the brand DT Spare Parts. In addition to the alternators, the brand has many individual accessories. These include repair kits, pulleys, carbon brushes and rectifiers. These and other products can be found in the new Diesel Technic Partner Portal. The articles can for example be used for the brands DAF, Fendt, Fiat, Iveco, MAN, Mercedes-Benz, Neoplan, Renault, Scania and Volvo.

With the in-house developed Diesel Technic Quality System (DTQS), the high product quality of the DT Spare Parts brand is guaranteed and ensured for the future. Continuous product improvement processes are the basis for the creation of branded spare parts for different requirements. A separate test bench is used to continuously check the quality of the alternators. There, the alternator passes through a prescribed programme, which is used to check whether it outputs the correct speeds and suitable current levels.

A tip from Parts Specialists Kevin is to look out for external damage. If defects are detected there, it can lead to a complete failure of the motor, as no continuous power supply is guaranteed. A damaged or occluded regulator can also be the cause of a breakdown. The function of the regulator is to monitor the generated current of the alternator and to prevent an overload. For this reason, the regulator must be checked to prevent the item from abrading. Another error pattern are cracks in the pulley. This problem is caused by using the wrong pulley tension or using an incorrect number of torques. If an alternator with integrated carbon brushes is used, the carbon brushes must be checked regularly to prevent early malfunction.
