IKO KTZ rod cage Ø22 / 28 / 15mm B2 origin TM Kart

Presentation: IKO Performance for TMKART

The Needle Cage IKO KTZ (B2) is the reference component used in first goes by the TM Racing factory. Designed to support the extreme stresses of high efficiency motors, it provides fluid rotation and maximum durability of the embiellent.

• Grade B2 (precision): The B2 classification guarantees an extremely tight, indispensable manufacturing tolerance for a perfect fit between the 22 mm coat and the rod.

• High quality needles: The rollers are designed to withstand rotating speeds exceeding 15,000 rpm while effectively dissipating heat.

• Reliability of origin: By choosing the original TMKART part, you complete a total compatibility with the brand's sleeves and connecting rods, thus avoiding premature engine breaks related to excessive or insufficient game.

- Installation and recommendations

1. Pairing: This 22 mm cage must be mounted with a 22 mm diameter crank and a connecting rod whose head eye measures 28 mm.

2. Mounting lubrication: Before inserting, bathe the cage in high quality 2-time mixing oil to ensure lubrication from the first engine laps.

3. GAME CONTROL: When reassembling the embiellent, check the side game of the rod using thick wedges to stay in the builder tolerances (usually between 0.40 and 0.60 mm on a KZ).

💡 Michel's trick

"The rod head cage is the organ that suffers the most in your engine. The trick: We never go up a needle cage used during a change of coast. My Pro Council: The grade B2 is the 'race' standard par excellence. If you do your bas-motor, check that your lateral friction washers are not marked; If they are, they may damage your new IKO cage in a few minutes of rolling! "

❓ FAQ SEO (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: Why choose the B2 grade rather than a standard grade?

A: The grade B2 offers a regularity of diameter of much higher needles. In competition, this avoids localized heating points and ensures that the load is evenly distributed over each needle.

Q: Is the same cage for KZ and OK engines?

A: Yes, as long as the dimensions Ø22 / 28/15 mm are respected. This is the most common assembly on current high performance 125cc engines.

Q: What is the life of this cage?

A: In high-level competition, it is customary to replace the cage (and often the coastal) every 15 to 20 hours of use to prevent any fatigue breaking.
