As with anything that we use, there is always an origin. There is a point at which it was created and came into existence. For vehicles, and particularly the mechanisms used to start them, the same principles apply. Vehicle starters have quite an extensive history. These mechanisms date back to the early 1900s, and since … Continue reading The Evolution of the Starter Motor

An efficient alternator installed on, say, a single travel coach, can save on fuel costs and reduce the risk of breakdowns. Equip them across an entire fleet and you’ll quickly see a noticeable change in your operations. High-efficient alternators not only reduce the stress on engine components, but also save money in the long-term. Here … Continue reading How Efficient are Alternators?
24 Volt high output alternators are required on vehicles and equipment with heavy electrical demands. Compare your options here. Why do you need a High Output Alternator? OEM’s (original equipment manufacturer) spec alternators based on the load demands that they calculate will be required on the vehicle or equipment that they are manufacturing. Modifications to … Continue reading Highest Output Alternators Available – 24 Volt Systems
Part of working well is working well together. Using parts that compliment each other reduces road side service calls and removes unnecessary cost and frustration. This post spotlights two parts we’ve previously covered, the Monster OAD™ Decoupler Pulley and the Almott 25AT Series Alternator, and focuses on how they work better together. The Monster OAD™ Decoupler … Continue reading Reduce Road Side Service Calls with these Two Parts
If you need to build a high output alternator, take a few lessons from Almott. The manufacturer has built a high efficiency alternator by making a few key adjustments to the P450 model. Almott provides a better design with lowered mechanical stress and thermal stress, with increased electromagnetic field strength. The result is improved performance … Continue reading How to Build a High Output Alternator
The alternator in your vehicle or machinery has an extremely important job to do. Without it, your battery wouldn’t be able to do its job correctly. At Leece-Neville, innovation is key, and that’s why they designed an alternator that is lighter, stronger and lasts longer than standard alternators. What makes the IdlePro Extreme Series Alternator … Continue reading Benefits of a Brushless Alternator
Typically alternators have an unfortunate side effect: excess noise creation from ripple voltage. There is inherent noise creation in any alternator, as it switches alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). It’s not possible to completely suppress the alternating waveform, so you can always expect some variation in the direct current. However, a few factors … Continue reading The Nitty Gritty of Noise Suppression
