Default CDS - Updates

Wanted to let you guys know about some of the changes we have been working on the last couple of years at Circle D Specialties. Most of these have already been incorporated into our line for about 6 months now. We redesigned our entire billet line from the ground up. We incorporated a new deep groove ball bearing into our fronts. This give us an axial and radial load capability for the turbine hub, taking the load off the stator support bushing. Extremely efficient and clean design, very proud of it. In addition to that we have designed the new bearing retainer for greater flow so there are no restrictions in fluid circulation. We also set one standard height for our covers so we can easily interchange different bolt patterns, it is a very cool system. It allows us to build virtually any combo, single or multi in any transmission with any bolt pattern. So no matter what combo you have, we can build a converter for it. We have also updated our multi disk clutches to a stronger steel and heat treat them to eliminate any wear in the outer teeth. So you get a nice and quiet multi disk that will last for years.

Last and definitely not least is our new steel forging. We have spent the last 2 years working on this process from a simple drawing on a napkin to final CAD design and then machining on our CNCs. They have turned out great, very very proud of them. This allows us to machine all our billet fronts in house - single and multi disk - and still be competitive on pricing, while delivering a product that is extremely durable. Also very happy to say they are forged in the USA, we found a great company to work with and were able to keep the money in the USA.

Thanks for reading and would love to hear any comments...

Chris
