Sovereign Rotating Machines has secured the exclusive rights to supply a range of patented, OE-quality clutch pulleys into the European automotive aftermarket.

The agreement, in partnership with WAIglobal, will see the rotating electrics remanufacturer offer its expanding customer base 150 references comprising both Overrunning Alternator Pulleys (OAP) and Overrunning Alternator Decouplers (OAD).

Featuring a patented design by Sovereign’s partner, WAIglobal, the pulleys have been tested to original equipment (OE) specifications, having undergone both a durability test at high temperatures and speeds and, an endurance reliability test of more than 160,000 cycles.

Richard Welland, Sovereign Rotating Machines managing director, said: “This is a major addition to the Sovereign product range and underlines once again the scalability we have through our partnership with WAIglobal. The clutch pulley range is competitively priced, offers an OE-quality performance and is boosted by our new 24month national warranty, further demonstrating our commitment to customers in this product area.”

The pulleys, sold under the WAI brand, are also zinc-nickel plated to stop corrosion and supplied complete with fitting instructions and a protective cap to prevent water and dirt contamination.

A full catalogue is available and further details on the product range will be announced shortly.
