Pitman Arm
Component PDF:
TRW Automotive Commercial Steering Sytem's leaner, lighter pitman arm reflects our commitment to continuously improve our products. A leader in the pitman arm market, TRW Automotive challenged its own design, seeking advanced product refinements.
The result: a design that uses less raw material and requires less machining; a lighter forging design that weighs up to 20 percent less than the previous model; and state-of-the-art micro-alloy material that delivers improved endurance.
Advantages:
- Design using small forging blank size and reducing machining requirements
- Lighter weight (10 to 20 percent forging weight reduction)
- Completely interchangeable with existing applications
- Micro-alloy material eliminating heat treating, yet improving fatigue and endurance qualities
