Powertrain Mounting Clevis Bracket

This engine clevis bracket is the first composite mount designed for a 6 cylinder engine, and passing peak loads of 25 Kilo-newtons of force. The injection molded part replaces metallic solutions (stamping, welding and die-casting) used previously resulting in a 45% weight save. NVH was also improved (reduction in cabin noise) due to the damping characteristics of the polyamide compared to aluminum. Corrosion resistance is improved and the part can be recycled at end of life. Seven clevis brackets were developed for different powertrain combinations and there are no warranty claims after 1.5 years of production
