Iranian Company Indigenizes Car Engine Stepper

“The field of activity of our company is designing, reverse engineering, production and repairs of all types of electronic boards and electromechanical equipment used in various industries,” Mojtaba Gholami Avval Kakhaki, the managing director of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.

“The car engine stepper of our company is one of the important electromechanical parts in the car engine, which is responsible for controlling the amount of air entering the engine in stationary mode or at low speed, and this part is installed on the gas valve of the car, and its failure leaves a direct effect on the engine’s performance,” he added.

Gholami underlined that the engine stepper produced by his company has so far been used in different home-made cars.

In a relevant development in May, the production line of oil control valve (OCV) used in cars equipped with CVVT system was launched in an Iranian knowledge-based company in Qazvin province in the presence of former Vice-President for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy Rouhollah Dehqani Firouzabadi.

“Five million dollars in foreign exchange savings have been achieved with the production of the OCVs,” Dehqani Firouzabadi said.

The Continuous Variable Valve Timing (CVVT) performance control valve known as OCV (Oil Control Valve) is one of the products of the Iranian knowledge-based company, which plays a key role in the correct operation of the CVVT system in cars.

The oil control valve consists of a solenoid that has a coil and controls the oil flow for camshaft changes.

The CVVT system also plays an important role in adjusting the opening and closing time of the smoke and air valves of the car engine.

Iran needs 700,000 OCVs annually on average, and Shaygan company is the only manufacturer of this part in the country.

At present, the knowledge-based company has managed to supply over 20% of the country's automobile industry's need by producing 150,000 OCVs.
