International. Schaeffler's Vehicle Lifetime Solutions division has expanded its torque converter product portfolio with the new LuK TorCon 68RFE and 48RE applications.
The company claimed that the LuK TorCon torque converters are the only all-new units in the automotive aftermarket and are designed to ensure unmatched consistency in performance.
The product features a four-disc clutch system, "which offers increased torque capacity that outperforms some triple-disc converters on the market by up to 60%," according to Schaeffler.
"The LuK TorCon 68RFE is designed to perform in normal and heavy-duty conditions, with a higher torque ratio and higher holding power of the TCC to ensure reliability when it matters most," said Jason Haney, product manager.
Schaeffler stated that the LuK TorCon 68RFE is compatible with 2009-2021 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks with 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel engines, with a current VIO of more than 1 million. Schaeffler recently introduced the LuK TorCon 6F35 and 6L80, the first all-new, never-remanufactured torque converters available on the independent aftermarket. The company added that it plans to further expand its product portfolio with additional SKUs in the coming months.
