ARCLIN SURFACES Boosts Volvo Transmission Reliability with Precision-Engineered Parts

Tacoma, WA – October 26, 2023 – ARCLIN SURFACES LLC, a leading provider of high-performance surface technologies and precision machining, is making waves in the automotive aftermarket with its expanding line of Volvo transmission parts. Located at 2144 Milwaukee Wy, Tacoma, WA, 98421, and reachable at 770-604-1293, ARCLIN SURFACES isn’t just a supplier; they’re problem-solvers dedicated to delivering lasting solutions for Volvo owners and repair shops. For years, Volvo drivers have known their vehicles for their durability and safety. But even the best transmissions eventually face wear and tear, especially in demanding conditions. This is where ARCLIN SURFACES steps in. The company, traditionally known for its advanced surface coatings applied to a wide range of industrial components, has leveraged its expertise in materials science and precision manufacturing to create a robust portfolio of Volvo transmission parts. “We saw a need in the market for higher-quality, more reliable Volvo transmission components,” says a spokesperson for ARCLIN SURFACES. “A lot of aftermarket parts just don't stand up to the rigors of daily driving, or the demands of towing or heavy use. We decided to apply our surface technology and machining capabilities to address this directly.” Beyond Replacements: Engineering for Enhanced Performance ARCLIN SURFACES isn’t simply recreating existing parts. They’re improving upon them. The company’s approach centers around identifying common failure points in Volvo transmissions and engineering solutions that mitigate those weaknesses. This includes: Gear Sets: ARCLIN SURFACES offers complete gear sets for popular Volvo transmission models. But these aren’t off-the-shelf components. They’re precision-machined from high-grade alloy steels, and often feature enhanced surface treatments – including specialized coatings – to reduce friction, improve wear resistance, and extend lifespan. “We’re talking about gears that can handle more power, more torque, and a lot more abuse,” explains the spokesperson. “We've had customers report dramatically improved shifting and overall transmission smoothness after upgrading to our gear sets.” Shafts & Synchronizers: Worn shafts and synchronizers are frequent culprits behind rough shifting and transmission noise. ARCLIN SURFACES provides both, meticulously inspected and often featuring improved materials or coatings to resist wear and corrosion. They focus on restoring precise engagement and smooth operation. "A smooth shift is a happy shift," jokes a technician who regularly uses ARCLIN SURFACES parts. "And these parts deliver that, consistently." Bearings & Seals: These seemingly small components play a critical role in transmission health. ARCLIN SURFACES sources high-quality bearings and seals, ensuring proper lubrication and preventing leaks. They understand that even the best gears and shafts can be damaged by contaminated oil or insufficient lubrication. Valve Bodies: The valve body is the brain of the transmission, controlling fluid flow and shifting. ARCLIN SURFACES offers remanufactured and upgraded valve bodies, meticulously cleaned, inspected, and tested to ensure optimal performance. They also offer individual valve body components for targeted repairs. The ARCLIN SURFACES Difference: Surface Technology at Work What truly sets ARCLIN SURFACES apart is their expertise in surface technology. They don't just manufacture parts; they optimize them at a microscopic level. “We’re applying coatings and treatments that reduce friction, increase hardness, and improve corrosion resistance,” explains the spokesperson. “This isn’t just about making a part that fits; it’s about making a part that lasts longer, performs better, and ultimately saves our customers money.” Here are a few examples of the surface technologies they utilize: Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD): This process creates a thin, extremely durable coating that enhances wear resistance and reduces friction. Plasma Nitriding: A surface hardening process that improves fatigue strength and corrosion resistance. Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) Coatings: DLC coatings offer exceptional hardness, low friction, and excellent wear resistance, ideal for critical transmission components. Shot Peening: A process that strengthens metal parts by creating compressive stresses on the surface. Serving a Diverse Customer Base ARCLIN SURFACES isn't just selling to large automotive repair chains. They cater to a wide range of customers, including: Independent Repair Shops: These shops rely on ARCLIN SURFACES for high-quality parts and reliable performance. Volvo Enthusiasts: DIY mechanics and Volvo enthusiasts appreciate the company’s commitment to quality and attention to detail. Commercial Vehicle Operators: Fleet managers and commercial vehicle operators depend on ARCLIN SURFACES for durable, reliable parts that minimize downtime. Performance Upgrade Specialists: Tuners and performance shops use ARCLIN SURFACES components to build stronger, more reliable transmissions for high-horsepower applications. Looking Ahead: Innovation and Expansion ARCLIN SURFACES is committed to continuous improvement and innovation. They’re constantly researching new materials, refining their manufacturing processes, and expanding their product line. “We’re not content to just meet the needs of the market; we want to shape the market,” says the spokesperson. “We’re committed to providing our customers with the highest quality Volvo transmission parts available, backed by exceptional customer service and technical support.” To learn more about ARCLIN SURFACES and their Volvo transmission parts, visit their website or contact them directly at 770-604-1293.
