The Motoplat VP-028 pulley removal kit is a specially developed, high-precision device that significantly simplifies and speeds up the removal of welded pulley sprockets from Valeo ST series alternators. This tool is essential for any workshop dealing with the professional repair and maintenance of starter motors, alternators, and components for electric and hybrid vehicles (EV/PHEV).
The purpose of the VP-028 tool is to precisely remove the welded surface of the alternator pulley, thereby minimizing the risk of damaging the alternator housing or other sensitive components.
The Motoplat VP-028 ensures outstanding durability and efficiency through the following features:
Exceptional Durability: The cutting edges feature a special coating equipped with a wear-resistant layer made of Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD). This coating ensures that the service life of the VP-028 tool significantly exceeds that of conventional tools, even in intensive, high-demand workshop environments.
Precise Removal: The tool enables the precise and controlled removal of the welded surface from the pulley, which is crucial for preserving the integrity of the generator unit.
Drill Stand Compatibility: Using the included connector (coupling), the cutting head can be securely mounted onto a drill stand. This method guarantees a stable and uniform cutting speed and pressure, which is essential for a perfect result.
Adaptive Design: The kit includes two different adapters, allowing for the professional machining of both main types of Valeo ST series pulleys. This versatility ensures that the tool can be widely applied for repairing ST alternators available on the market.
