High-Temp Rod Ends/ Linkages Turbo & EGR Platforms & Beyond Prepared by: Chris Kaufman Director of Engineering Connecting a W orld in M otion

High-Temp Rod Ends/ Linkages Standard Cablecraft® Linkage Design: • • Based on “6mm – ¼” Rod End family *Interchangeable Raceway (3 temperature ranges – See appendix) Natural Black (MGT), Blue Paint ID (UHT), White Paint ID (HGT) Adjustable or fixed CL’s for tamperproof designs Controlled breakaway torque Variable CL lengths Threaded or rivet studs for assembly Hex drive for threaded stud assembly Connecting a W orld in M otion *Custom Cablecraft® Race

High-Temp Rod Ends/ Linkages Custom levers can be permanently fixed to the linkage ends to ease assembly to the actuator (input) shaft or Turbo/EGR (output) positioning shaft Alternate stud alignments allow for flexible positioning of sensitive equipment Connecting a W orld in M otion

High-Temp Rod Ends/ Linkages High Temp Cablecraft® Linkages are designed to handle high temp gradients to help push sensitive electronics or other components away from the heat source. Prolonging life and reducing expensive cooling systems. Cablecraft® offers 3 Rod End Linkages systems that target different Temperature ranges: MGT: Continuous Operating Temp 232°C (450°F) UHT: Continuous Operating Temp 301°C (575°F) HGT: Continuous Operating Temp 343°C (650°F)

High-Temp Rod Ends/ Linkages Performance Characteristics: • Composite Raceways • Effectively dampen vibration of engine environments that cause excessive wear in metallic joints • Allow for low friction movement, while keeping play at minimum • No need for high cost stainless heat treatment or specialty coatings • Rod end design allows for misalignment and reduced cost in component location criticality • Also eliminates concerns of binding from temperature deflection in fixed pin designs that can’t accommodate for misalignment • High strength material allows for high torque actuator usage • Raceway...

High-Temp Rod Ends/ Linkages On Application (example) • Cablecraft’s® flexible design allows for remote actuator placement Connecting a W orld in M otion

High-Temp Rod Ends/ Linkages Where used? Increased Fuel Economy & Performance • On-highway diesel vehicles • Farm/Construction equipment • Hybrid vehicles – EGR valves • Racing (turbo-chargers) • Material handling equipment High-Temp Applications • Food equipment • Industrial near heat source applications • HVAC Harsh Environments • Chemical plants • Power plants Confidential

High-Temp Rod Ends/ Linkages Composite raceway’s absorb vibration generation from the application preventing accelerated joint degradation Lightweight design lowers mass acceleration that can impact connected components Linkage centerline can be custom length and alignment per application without large tooling impact Detachable connection point makes electronic actuator or turbo serviceable without removing entire unit (At lever arm or ball stud of rod end) Composite raceway design allows for use of standard high corrosion resistant steel without the use of expensive coatings or Heat Treatment...
