Subaru to Exhibit EX40 Engine
at World of Concrete 2016 LAS VEGAS (Feb. 2, 2016)— Subaru Industrial Power Products EX40 overhead cam engine
is the largest model in its line of high performance air-cooled, 4-cycle EX Series engines.
Delivering a maximum output of 14-horsepower, the EX40 effectively opens up the EX Series to
a large range of applications, including general construction equipment, power generators,
compressors and small agricultural machinery. The EX40 is backed by Subaru’s 5-year limited
warranty. Subaru will exhibit its EX40 overhead cam engine Feb. 2-5, 2016 at booth C4537
during World of Concrete in Las Vegas.
Utilizing chain-driven overhead cam technology, the engine offers more power, easier starting
and quieter operation than competitive engines in its class. OHC technology allows the EX40’s
intake and exhaust valves to be positioned to offer lower resistance for the air/fuel mixture flow,
thus optimizing engine performance. Designed with a highly efficient pent-roof combustion
chamber, the EX40 is able to utilize a high compression ratio to produce higher power and
torque.
The EX40 meets both CARB and EPA Tier 3 emission standards, thanks in part to an OHC valve
narrow-angle layout that enables the combustion chamber to function without a special catalyst.
Furthermore, enhanced cooling balance contributes to higher combustion efficiency, thereby
lowering fuel consumption.
Easier starts are another advantage of the EX40. An automatic decompression timing system
reduces the required recoil pulling force by 30- to 40-percent when compared with overhead
valve engine designs. In conjunction with the optimized combustion chamber design, starts are
fast and easy with no perceptible kickback.
The EX40 is engineered with an inclined cylinder, lighter-weight parts, and a rotation balance to
make it easier to mount onto machinery. Additionally, the engine’s mount and center height are
the same as current EX models to ensure compatibility.
With fewer moving parts, OHC engines produce less mechanical noise than competitive
technologies. The EX40 takes it a step further by utilizing optimized-capacity rigid mufflers and
a resinous air cleaner. Together these features make the EX engines a full 2 dBA quieter in
exhaust tone than other same-class engines.
Excessive heat is the primary cause of engine failure. To combat this problem, the EX Series
features Subaru’s patent-pending technology to provide outstanding cooling performance. To
utilize every possible cooling area, special heat dissipation fins have been built into the mounting
base, cylinder and both the inner and outer crankcase surfaces. Additionally, the OHC
technology allows for 360-degree airflow around both the exhaust and intake valve stem areas.
Engine durability is further enhanced by a patent-pending oil delivery system. A unique oil
scraper attached to the connecting rod supplies oil to the cam chain. The cam chain then carries
the oil to the overhead cam and valve train. A special rocker cover design and breather system
keep the camshaft and rocker arm bathed in oil, yet prevent spouting — whether the engine is
level or inclined.
Since arriving on the market in 2001, the Subaru EX Series has sold approximately 1.7 million
units worldwide. The four original models — ranging in piston displacement from 126 cc to 265
cc — have been rated highly by users for achieving both outstanding low-emission
environmental performance and user-friendliness, such as low noise and easy start-up operation,
while keeping durability and reliability intact.
