CLR meets and exceeds three Volkswagen standards

In some samples, CLR reducers have duplicated the standard of 50,000 cycles of optimal performance set forth by the German manufacturer.

Once again, CLR showcases its adaptability to the demands of the automotive sector by exceeding Volkswagen standards in connection to wing mirror folding systems. Specifically, the company has been able to adapt to the revision of two standards affecting the development of speed reducers for folding wing mirror actuators. We are referring to the electrically adjustable exterior mirror (standard 82398) and the electrical and electronic components in vehicles of up to 3.5 t (VW80000) standards, as well as the electromagnetic compatibility standard (EMC) for electronic components in automotive (TL81000).

As part of these standards, and among other requirements, Volkswagen demands, in regard to the speed reducer’s service life, at least 50,000 cycles of optimal performance for the product.

Thanks to the effort and commitment of its engineering team, CLR has widely exceeded the standard, attaining 85,000 cycles. Moreover, a few samples registered over 100,000 cycles. Testing has been performed at independent, duly accredited laboratories.

As a result, CLR’s speed reducers have passed the Endurance Tests which ensure the speed reducer’s optimal levels of performance in regard to torque or driving force, energy consumption and positioning.

For their part, in line with these good results, our Series A50+ speed reducers have overcome the tests related to electromagnetic compatibility, which is among the most important aspects of these rear view devices.
