Safe Harbor Statement This document contains “forward-looking” statements, as that term is defined by the federal securities laws, about our financial condition, results of operations and business. Forward-looking statements include certain anticipated, believed, planned, forecasted, expected, targeted and estimated results along with Metaldyne’s outlook concerning future results. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Because the statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on the statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to vary materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements included in this report include general economic conditions in the markets in which we operate and industry-based factors such as: declines in North American automobile and light truck builds, reductions in outsourcing by our automotive customers, increases in our raw material and energy costs, labor costs and strikes at our major direct and indirect customers and at our facilities, dependence on significant automotive customers, the level of competition in the automotive supply industry and pricing pressures from our customers, technological developments that could competitively disadvantage us, and risks associated with conducting business in foreign countries. In addition, factors more specific to us could cause actual results to vary materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements included in this report such as substantial leverage, limitations imposed by our debt instruments, the adequacy of our liquidity to meet our capital expenditures and other cash requirements, our ability to identify attractive and other strategic opportunities and to successfully integrate acquired businesses including actions we have identified as providing cost-saving opportunities. We do not undertake any obligation to review or confirm analysts' expectations or estimates or to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Single Mass Dual Mode Damper C/S Bending Damper Toyota first introduced the Bending damper in 1989 to address C/S Bending A second damper was added to the torsion damper that works in the radial direction This approach adds mass to the end of the crankshaft The added mass lowers the crankshaft bending frequency This intern lowers resonant frequencies and pulls additional vibration modes into the engine speed range that must be dealt with Traditional Solution to C/S Bending Existing Torsion Damper Bending Damper Added Torsion Bending

 

C/S Bending Damper Metaldyne has developed a patented design which utilizes the existing Torsion Damper When combined with the structural design of the hub, overall engine NVH can be significantly influenced Torsional Fluctuations Torsional Cancellation Bending Fluctuations Metaldyne defined “Roll Mode” Translated Bending Cancellation Vertical Direction Lateral Direction Axial Direction Pat. # 5,231,893

 

C/S Bending Damper Tuning can be changed by modifying the rubber section geometry while keeping the same rubber compound Structural design stiffness of the hub and ring can also be used to impact the bending tuning Patented Single Mass Dual Mode Damper Design

 

Elimination of weight and cost by utilizing Metaldyne technology (Pat. # 5,231,893) for tuning a single mass damper in both torsion and bending. C/S Bending Dampers Competitor’s heavier dual mass dual mode damper with an extra damper needed for tuning. Testing has demonstrated that the SMDM can outperform the DMDM on engine applications Testing results showed improvement with a single-mass dual-mode damper in both overall vibration levels and subjective NVH listening studies Crank Nose Vertical Bending Vibration 2000650030004000500060002500350045005500rpm0701020304050605152535455565Amplitudegtr2444pr1h_sCrank Nose X2204_6_sCrank X2204_3_sCrank Xstock_sCrank XNo Damper Torsion only SMDM DMDM DMDM SMDM
