OEX continues a relentless customer focus to solve common design and application challenges.
A recent improvement was upgrading the brush holder on 79 and 200 series LandCruiser alternators to avoid premature failure. A particularly compromised component given how low the alternator sits in the engine bay.
High-quality equipment
When the engine is running, air flows from the rear of the alternator to cool down the rectifier, rotor, and stator.
In wet, dusty, muddy or off-road driving conditions, water, dust, and mud can easily enter the brush assembly with the airflow, leading to brush, brush spring, and slip ring failure.
Longstanding service
OEX’s innovative and problem-solving thinking is evident in its design of an alternator with semi-sealed brush holders, which minimise the entry of water, dust, and mud into the brush assembly, preventing premature failure.
Additionally, OEX offer two high-output alternators for these applications, with a custom-made upgrade cable, fuse, and fuse holder included in the box.
