| TODA
original design, race proven |
 |
With
developing flywheels for TODA Race programs, we have come
to understand the most desirable characteristics required
for the ultimate flywheel. Along with our racing experience
we now use CAD solid modeling workstations, to further
reduce stress and to improve weight distribution and inertia.
Example: Toyota 4AG flywheel; TODA's chrome molly flywheel
vs. standard flywheel. 48% of the weight and 42% of inertia.
(STD/weight 7.7kg →3.7kg, Inertia
0.79kg/cm/S²→0.33kg/cm/S²) |
| Precision
and durability, a product of high precision CNC machining
and a 2 part heat treatment |
| The
production of a TODA chrome molly flywheel can be broken
down into several sections. 1st the basic flywheel shape
is machined out. Then the 1st of two heat treatment processes
is carried out, which hardens the chrome molly it is then
slowly cooled down to restoring some flexibility. After
which the final detailed machining is done. With finally
the 2nd and final heat treatment giving the clutch face
and the gear teeth a greater wear durability rate and
rust prevention. |

Precise
processing by machining center
Removal of weight from the
outer edge of the flywheel is the best way to reduce
the inertia. All machining is done on a CNC Machining
Center, to achieve the highest levels of accuracy
and balance found in TODA's chrome molly flywheel. |
Accurate
processing by CNC lathe
A CNC lathe which gives us
the high level of detail is indispensable. TODA
racing manufactured flywheels come without sharp
edges and acute angles. Curves are used to blend
all sections together so reducing the stress found
in the flywheel enabling it to work safely in the
extreme environment that it has to work in. |
