|
A Six Sigma project by a major transmission manufacturer found that seal problems traditionally were among the most common warranty items. A case in point involved warranty claims on a shift tower, which used a beaded fiber gasket.
|
After analyzing and testing fiber composite, Select-a-Seal, and rubberedge molded seals, the Select-a-Seal gasket provided the best combination of durability and reduced rework costs. |
Test Cycle:
-40°C to 150°C Continuous Cycle, 4 hours total (6 complete cycles per day) 2 psi continuous oil pressure, static charge non-circulating
- Lowered warranty claims
- Eliminated field complaints
- Improved customer satisfaction
