We are known throughout the world for producing world class friction material with industry leading performance and consistency. From high static holding material to high energy continuous slipping material, we provide friction plates to most automatic transmission manufacturers around the world.
Technology in double sided friction plates continues to evolve. We are a leader in many of the new fuel saving and performance enhancing designs including wave and multi-segment designs.
Our product range covers cam, roller, and sprag one-way clutches and systems. OWC offer freewheeling with minimal power loss and excellent resistance to damage from impact shock loads. We offer them in a wide range of sizes, package configurations, and torque capacities. Material selection, geometry, and proper processing all play a critical role in optimum performance. Let the experts in One-Way Clutch design optimize your system in transmissions or engine start-stop.
Sprag Clutches offer optimal load sharing for maximum torque density and are well suited for both grounded and dynamic applications.
Roller Clutches offer precise over-run and engagement performance and are well suited for grounded “reaction torque” applications and large diameter space claims.
Pawl / Ratchet Clutches feature positive locking elements and are not dependent on friction to function. This provides high torque capacity with low spin loss.
We are a leading supplier of integrated transmission control systems. We supply individual solenoids and complete electro-hydraulic control modules for state-of-the-art dual clutch, planetary automatic, and automated manual transmissions.
Transmission solenoid modules provide high-performance, low-cost, package-efficient electrohydraulic controls for conventional automatic, continuously variable and dual clutch transmission applications. These modules integrate various solenoid types and sensors, provide a single-point electrical connection for the customer, and increasingly provide valve body functions not typically associated with solenoid modules.
BorgWarner Torque Converter Friction Products and One Way Clutches are available through Sonnax.
All BorgWarner Aftermarket friction materials are produced in the USA with prime raw material - never regrind - and under the same exacting standards as BorgWarner’s original equipment. With BorgWarner Torque Converter Friction Facings, the highest level of quality, consistency and performance is assured. Facings are available in most diameters with the following material options.
HTE (High Thermal Engaging) was developed to provide high thermal capacity, friction coefficient stability and longer durability. HTE is available in 1.1mm (0.045”) and 1.7mm (0.066”) thicknesses and is grey - black in color.
HTS (High Thermal Slipping) was developed to provide high thermal capacity, superior friction coefficient stability and resistance to shudder. HTS is available in 1.1mm (0.045”) and 1.7mm (0.066”) thicknesses and is grey - green in color.
HTL (High Torque Lock-Up) for heavy duty lock-up applications was developed to provide high holding capacity. HTL is available in 1.7mm (0.066”) thickness and is light brown in color.
XTL (Extreme Torque Lock-Up) for extreme duty lock-up applications that require extreme holding capacity was developed for industrial power take off applications, it offers 30%+ more torque holding capacity than HTL. XTL is available in 1.3mm (0.050”) thickness and is dark grey - black in color.
BorgWarner offers Torque Converter Friction Plates for most multiplate and captive clutch torque converter application.
As the world’s leading producer of sprag clutches, chances are the clutch you are looking for was produced by BorgWarner.
Compared with gear drives, HY-VO® chain drives offer lower cost, reduced axial load, lower noise, improved efficiency and greater center distance tolerance. Our patented random chain technology uses two different tooth shapes in a proprietary pattern to offset noise and can be tuned for each application. Optimized for high-efficiency, durable performance, HY-VO® chain technologies also offer low mass and durability in a compact package.
Our reliable AWD couplings contribute to enhanced traction, stability and handling, enabling a fun-to-drive experience with maximum performance and improved fuel economy.Learn more about AWD Spare Parts
Using an electromagnetic-based system to synchronize the front and rear axle speeds before locking them together, BorgWarner’s advanced transfer case switches between two-wheel and all-wheel drive while moving (“shifting on the fly”) at highway speeds. Unlike conventional mechanical synchronization systems, this robust, high-performance solution provides a smooth, quiet and consistent transition from two-wheel to all-wheel drive. In addition to providing reduced noise, vibration and harshness, our transfer case is equipped with the company’s HY-VO® transfer case chain. Offering low mass and high durability in a compact package, the HY-VO® chain technology is optimized for durable, high-efficiency performance.
