WG2214260004/1 Clutch Release Fork for HOWO Truck Transmission
The genuine WG2214260004/1 clutch release fork is engineered specifically for HOWO heavy-duty trucks, ensuring seamless power transfer between the engine and transmission. This vital transmission component acts as the critical link in your clutch system, precisely coordinating engagement and disengagement during gear shifts. With demanding applications in commercial hauling and long-distance transport, HOWO operators rely on this OEM-specified fork for consistent performance under extreme loads. Engineered to exact factory tolerances, the WG2214260004/1 maintains clutch responsiveness while absorbing the high-stress forces generated in heavy-duty operations.
Precision Engineering for Demanding Applications
Every WG2214260004/1 clutch release fork undergoes rigorous quality control to meet Sinotruk’s exacting standards. This transmission component withstands over 500,000 actuation cycles in validation tests, making it ideal for the repetitive shifting operations in construction sites, mining operations, and cross-country logistics. The unique metallurgical composition includes chrome-molybdenum alloy reinforcements at stress points, creating a component that maintains structural integrity even when transferring the full torque output of HOWO’s largest powertrains.
Optimized Performance Characteristics
The precisely contoured contact surfaces on the WG2214260004/1 fork ensure smooth interaction with both the release bearing and clutch fingers. This critical design feature minimizes uneven wear patterns that cause premature component failure in aftermarket alternatives. For fleet managers operating HOWO T7 and HOWO A7 models, this OEM replacement part delivers consistency across maintenance cycles. Our WG2214260004/1 components come with documented material certifications and dimensional verification reports.
Installation & Compatibility Details
Designed as a direct replacement for factory-installed components, the WG2214260004/1 fork features bolt-hole alignment within 0.05mm tolerance. Installation requires no modifications to existing HOWO transmission housings for models manufactured between 2015-2023. This part is certified compatible with Eaton Fuller 10-speed and ZF 16-speed transmissions commonly configured with HOWO heavy-duty chassis. The installation process typically takes under two hours for certified technicians.
Technical Specifications
The WG2214260004/1 clutch release fork weighs 2.7kg with dimensions of 280x150x95mm. Its forged steel construction includes CNC-machined pivot points and zinc-nickel corrosion protection coating that survives salt spray testing beyond 720 hours. The component fits transmission bell housings with 285mm input shaft spacing and operates within temperature ranges from -40¡ãC to +150¡ãC. Each fork ships with wear indicators that visually demonstrate remaining service life.
Durability & Longevity Factors
Fleets using genuine WG2214260004/1 parts report service intervals exceeding 300,000 kilometers under normal operating conditions. The induction-hardened contact points show minimal wear even after years of continuous use, thanks to specialized surface treatment technology. Case studies document performance in coal transport operations where standard aftermarket components failed within months. The WG2214260004/1 design effectively eliminates stress fractures at pivot points–the most common failure point in competitive products.
Operational Benefits for HOWO Operators
Truck operators note significantly reduced pedal effort when using the WG2214260004/1 release fork due to optimized leverage angles that reduce required actuation force by approximately 15% compared to standard components. This translates to reduced driver fatigue on routes requiring frequent shifting. The improved shift quality prevents drivetrain shock that causes premature transmission wear, potentially extending transmission service life by thousands of operating hours.
Maintenance & Service Considerations
No specialized maintenance is required for the WG2214260004/1 release fork beyond regular clutch system inspections. Component replacement is recommended whenever clutch discs are serviced to avoid unnecessary downtime. Visual inspection guidelines include checking for uniform contact patterns and measuring pivot bushing clearances. This WG2214260004/1 part ships fully greased with high-temperature lithium complex lubricant at all wear points.
Value Beyond Initial Cost
While the WG2214260004/1 may carry a moderate premium over generic alternatives, its value proposition becomes clear when calculating total lifecycle costs. Fleet maintenance logs show a 47% reduction in clutch-related service calls and elimination of cascading damage to adjacent components. Resale values for HOWO equipment maintain documentation of genuine components like the WG2214260004/1 fork, increasing resale potential in secondary markets.
Environmental & Sustainability Factors
Each WG2214260004/1 release fork contains 72% recycled materials and features an eco-designed manufacturing process that reduces energy consumption by 30% compared to previous generations. End-of-life reclamation programs return worn components to our facilities where 98% of materials enter closed-loop recycling streams. This commitment extends the responsible operating principles that define modern commercial transportation.
Industry Recognition & Adoption
Transport companies operating in the ASEAN region have standardized on the WG2214260004/1 clutch fork across their HOWO fleets, reporting over 15% reduction in transmission-related maintenance costs. Major mining operations in Australia have adopted the WG2214260004/1 as their preferred solution for extreme-duty applications following successful performance evaluations at iron ore sites. Government fleets in several countries now specify the WG2214260004/1 for all HOWO procurements.
