Superior Quality flywheels for your engines

A flywheel is that part of the engine used to effectively store kinetic energy or rotational energy when
there is adequate availability of energy. In other words, as a vital part of any automotive engine,
flywheels function as delivery units of power supply from motor to the machine. In automotive
engines, flywheels store rotational energy by resisting the rotational speed during the brief moment
of inertia. When the engine faces a hiccup and loses momentum, you can rest assured that the kinetic
energy responsible for movement is converting into heat energy in the brakes.

Essentially, the flywheels are heavy wheels of varied diameter, weight, and substance that take a lot
of force to not only spin around but also takes an equally great amount of force to stop. In this manner,
flywheels store enough kinetic energy to keep machinery running from cycle to cycle. There are
various parameters and variables involved in the making of the flywheel, such as the material used,
the weight of the flywheel, the design, the diameter etc. Flywheel manufacturing companies have to,
therefore, make consistent efforts to design, manufacture and excel in the marketing of flywheels for
the respective industry.

The efficiency of Flywheels-material and description

The efficiency of the flywheel depends on the amount of energy they can store per unit weight.  
The performance optimization depends on the material used-which, in turn, contributes to the density,
velocity and tensile strength. The material used for the making of the flywheel largely depends on the
purpose, use, and application. While some use cast iron, mild steel or grey cast iron, composite
materials like carbon fiber with cast iron followed by maraging steel and E-glass fiber composite
constitutes the material used in the making of a flywheel. This not only gives it high strength but
reduces the overall weight of the flywheel as well. Flywheel manufacturers take special care for the
composition of the material used for the manufacturing process. In certain cases where the stress is
more than the strength of the material used, there can be greater damages such as the flywheel
breaking apart.

On the other hand, flywheel manufacturers who take care for material designation, design consideration, optimization of parametric factors will realize that the energy stored in the flywheels is optimized. Secondly, owing to the effectiveness of flywheel, they make it a better option as compared to rechargeable batteries- whether it is in terms of maintenance, engine sustenance or cost-effectiveness. They occupy less space and volume (sometimes even up to 80% lesser space) than the rechargeable batteries. As an effective alternative to a battery, flywheels can be even used to store electricity produced by the solar panel, which in turn can be used to drive the generator and produce electricity again.
