CRP Technology Provides Motorsports Camshaft Cover for Ilmor 4 Stroke MotoGP Engine
“A camshaft cover is the structural part that supports the bearing of the camshaft (camshafts seats, the camshaft usually runs at more or less 9000 rpm), directly applied on the 4 stroke 800cc engine head. The average working temperature is 130 to 140 °C. Every material has a recommended temperature limit. Mechanical properties decrease when the working temperature increases. The recommended limit for Windform XT is 130/140 °C but in some cases 150 to 160 °C also can be reached. The limiting factor comes from the thermoplastic base that melts around 180 °C. At a track like Bahrain or Dubai, even if the ambient temperature is significantly higher than the average at other circuits, the working parameters of the engine (i.e. water and oil temperature) must remain under the limits imposed by the manufacturer.”

Uso diretto del prototipo rapido per componenti ad alte prestazioni
I prototipi cosiddetti «rapidi» si ottengono attraverso la tecnologia di sinterizzazione laser. In questo articolo l’applicazione dei materiali WINDFORM® per la realizzazione di componenti montati su una moto da corsa. Una moto della classe 250 cc sviluppata in meno di sei mesi con la collaborazione dello staff tecnico di CRP Technology ha preso parte al Campionato Mondiale MotoGP 2005 sotto il marchio Fantic Motor. È stato l’inizio di una grande sfida da parte dell’azienda di Modena che ha lavorato sullo sviluppo del motore e delle sue parti per la scorsa stagione 2006 sfruttando la tecnologia di prototipazione rapida e i materiali WINDFORM®.
