【Factory Overview – Real Production, Real Quality】

This AVI168A Alternator Rotor is designed as an OEM replacement for Prestolite high-output alternators used in heavy-duty buses, commercial vehicles, and industrial equipment. As the rotating magnetic field core of the alternator, the rotor directly determines charging efficiency, voltage stability, and system durability.
Engineered for commercial fleet operations, it delivers stable performance under demanding conditions including high engine bay temperatures (up to 200°C), continuous operation at 12,000 RPM, and vibration from rough roads. The plug-and-play design enables easy installation with no soldering or rewinding, reducing vehicle downtime for fleet operators and alternator rebuilders.

Superior Materials & Construction
The AVI168A rotor features a high-permeability laminated steel core, precision-wound with 99.98% pure oxygen-free copper wire – minimizing resistive losses (I²R) and maximizing magnetic flux density. The winding is encapsulated in Class H (180°C) epoxy resin that resists vibration, moisture, and thermal cycling. Unlike generic rotors using lower-grade copper or insufficient insulation, our rotor delivers consistent output even under extreme alternator temperatures.
Electrical Performance
Rated for 12V or 24V systems, the AVI168A rotor operates with a field coil resistance of 2.8–3.2Ω @ 20°C (matched to Prestolite regulators). It supports continuous field current up to 5.5A, generating a magnetic field strong enough to produce 150A–200A alternator output when paired with compatible stators. The rotor's slip rings are made from high-density copper alloy with silver coating, ensuring <0.1Ω contact resistance and long brush life.
Thermal & Mechanical Resilience
Heavy-duty bus alternators run hot – especially in engine bays or during summer HVAC operation. The AVI168A rotor is dynamically balanced to ISO 1940 G2.5 grade, reducing bearing wear and noise. It withstands continuous operation at 12,000 RPM and peak temperatures of 200°C without demagnetization or insulation breakdown. Validated in 500+ hours of bench testing under full load with ambient temperatures up to 120°C.
OEM Replacement Compatibility
Directly replaces OEM Prestolite rotor part number AVI168A in alternator models including:
Prestolite 8SC3110VC, 8RL3023C, 8LHA3037V
Leece-Neville 4850 series
Yuchai, Cummins, Volvo, Daewoo bus alternators
Includes pre-installed slip rings and fan. No soldering or rewinding required – just unbolt the old rotor and install this unit.
Typical vehicle models: Yuchai 6CT, Cummins 6CT, Volvo D12, Daewoo BS106, King Long XMQ6127, Higer KLQ6119.
