FAI adds TVDs to product range

Torsional Vibration Dampers (TVD)

FAI have just launched a range of Torsional Vibration Dampers (TVD) to the market which will supplement their range of engine bottom end repair products and belting range. The initial range includes nearly 50 part numbers, covering all important and popular applications.

TVDs are the pulleys found at the front end of the crankshaft and are responsible for driving ancillary items such as A/C compressors, power steering pumps and water pumps. The TVD is responsible for absorbing the vibrations caused by the pistons firing, which sends vibrations through the crank and other engine parts, to minimise the damaging effects of these vibrations and prolong engine operating life.

Each pulley in the FAI TVD range are made to OE specification and include the rubber harmonic damper element of the construction. Other aftermarket alternatives have the rubber damper removed from the pulley; which almost certainly increases crank bearing wear, and could lead to early failure of the crank or crank bearings. As a result, we recommend that only a pulley with a harmonic damper is fitted.

Some popular items in the FAI range are:
