Delco Remy Steering Parts

About Delco Remy

Delco Remy, now called Remy International, Inc., is an industry-leading American manufacturer, remanufacturer, and supplier of light-duty to heavy-duty alternators, starters, hybrid power technology, and the Delco Remy brand of heavy-duty systems. The company is headquartered in Pendleton, Indiana, and has facilities in four continents and eleven countries across the globe. These facilities are situated in countries like the USA, Germany, Belgium, Mexico, United Kingdom, Hungary, Canada, and Tunisia.

Delco Remy has roots that go back to 1896, when Frank and Perry Remy established a home wiring business in Anderson, Indiana. It was called The Remy Electric Company and was incorporated in 1901. This electric company put up an experimental garage for research and development. Among its projects are rework of car chassis, Remy Magneto racing development, educational forums, and product placement, and department concepts and innovations. A decade later, Delco Remy was sold by the Remy brothers to Staughton Fletcher, Jr. and the Fletcher Savings and Trust. Fletcher expanded the company's product line to include generators, cranking motors, and distributors.

In 1918, Delco Remy started its operation as a division of General Motors, producing advanced technologies and supplying the industry with top-caliber products for automotive, heavy-duty vehicles, and U.S. military service. For over 75 years, Delco Remy was a profitable General Motors division. It was purchased by a group of private investors and became an independent entity in 1994. On August 1, 2004, Delco Remy changed its name to Remy International but continued to use the Delco Remy brand for several Delco Remy parts with a license from General Motors.

Delco Remy Parts

The Delco Remy name is famous for being the industry's leading choice for heavy-duty starters and alternators. The solutions from this brand are all designed to maximize your vehicle's uptime and keep your fleet running. Remy International's heavy-duty products are offered under the Delco Remy brand under license from General Motors. As of 2014, the Delco Remy brand name provides only starters and alternators. These Delco Remy parts can be used for both new vehicle production and replacement units and components. They can be obtained in the market through different distributors and O.E. dealerships.

Starters

Delco Remy's heavy-duty starter ensures industry-leading durability and dependability in all applications. Precision made by product engineers and industry experts, Delco Remy starters efficiently start heavy-duty and off-road vehicles and trucks under all environments and operating conditions. They are fitted with various patented features to protect the starter and starting system from voltage spikes, over cranking, high-starting circuit resistance, low battery capacity, operator misuse, and other issues.

Over the years, Delco Remy has provided most OEMs with premium-quality and groundbreaking solutions that meet the demands of the latest vehicles. If you are managing a fleet, you can trust Delco Remy starters to deliver unparalleled durability and superior cranking performance. This brand provides a comprehensive portfolio of starters for buses, all classes of trucks, off-highway trucks and vehicles, and locomotives. The Delco Remy starters' notable features include:

• Integrated Over Crank Protection (IOCP)

The OCP technology is integrated into every Delco Remy starter to protect the part from thermal damage. It is a circuit breaker that resets automatically to safe operating temperature, protecting the starter in harsh starting conditions like cold weather cranking.

• Electrical Soft-Start

The electrical soft-start feature minimizes wear and tear by gradually rotating the pinion until it properly engages in the ring gear prior to cranking. It guarantees improved starter pinion engagement and minimal tooth abutment, helping extend starter life and increase reliability.

• Internal Magnetic Switch Solenoid (IMSS)

With its built-in one-wire design inside the solenoid, the IMSS guarantees input current capable of ECM control while protecting the starter from voltage spikes. This switch solenoid is made durable enough to withstand up to 120°C/248°F engine temperature. Since it is integrated inside the solenoid, it is free from corrosion caused by environmental factors and other forms of damage from vibration.

Alternators

For superior alternator performance that matches O.E. and aftermarket applications, there's no other brand to trust than Delco Remy. The alternators from this brand deliver top-notch quality, improved efficiency, and remarkable fuel savings to match the demands of the global off-road vehicle and commercial applications. This brand continues to use its expertise to provide our O.E. and aftermarket partners with cutting-edge solutions for modern vehicle's electrical system challenges.

• Brushless design

This type of alternator has fewer moving parts, which means less wear on the alternator and longer service life. As the alternator pulls air from the back to the front to maintain the proper operating temperature of internal electronics, the dust gets into the alternator. With a brushless construction, you won't encounter issues like dust caught up in brushes, causing premature wear or damage to the alternator.

The Delco Remy alternator's major internal parts that carry current are all made more resistant to debris and vibration. These Delco Remy parts include regulator, connectors, field coil, stator, and bridge. By using the brushless alternator, you can save yourself and your wallet from the hassles and expense associated with the following issues:

1. Worn-out, jammed, or broken brush
2. Brush bounce
3. Corroded or shorted slip ring
4. Broken brush spring and shunt
5. Grounded Rotor Coil
6. High Turn-On

• Remote Sense

Delco Remy alternators fitted with Remote Sense cut down battery charge time by 50%. This feature makes use of a second wire that senses the actual battery voltage, prompting the alternator to boost its voltage output when there is a voltage drop. This guarantees consistent 14 volts at the battery. The extra voltage drives the current into the battery faster, so it becomes fully charged in half the time. Alternators with Remote Sense are ideal for commercial vehicles that frequently stop, such as school buses, delivery trucks, and trucks with lift gates.

So how does Remote Sense work? The resistance in charging cables caused by environmental factors causes the voltage from the alternator to drop before it gets to the battery. This is where the Remote Sense comes in. The second wire in the Remote Sense detects the actual battery voltage and tells the alternator to raise its voltage output to achieve the constant 14 volts at the battery despite the voltage drop.
