Alternator & Regulator: Description
Delco-Remy Delcotron alternators with integral regulators are used on American Motors Eagle and all General Motors vehicles. Delcotron alternators are available with different idle outputs and rated amp outputs of 37-100 amps. See Specification Chart at end of article.
All models feature a solid state regulator mounted inside the alternator. The construction and operation of all models is basically the same. Delcotron alternators consist primarily of 2 end frame assemblies, rotor, stator, brushes, slip rings and diodes. The rotor is supported in the drive end frame by ball bearings and in the slip ring end frame by roller bearings. The bearings are sealed and do not require periodic lubrication.
