English to Dutch Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks

Sentence:
For a long time, racers have known that one of the best things to do to an engine to improve its performance is to stabilize the ignition timing. The Flying Magnet Crank Trigger system does exactly that by using four magnets embedded in an aluminum wheel.
Most crank triggers have a wheel, with steel studs sticking out, bolted to the harmonic balancer.

My understanding from the context:
A crank trigger is part of a (car) engine, most probably part of or related to the crankshaft. And I think it could be an alternative option to using a distributor.

I am looking for the best Dutch equivalent in a technical context that would work in the sample sentences above.
