0501313598 ZF OUTER CLUTCH DISC

This ZF Lamella Clutch Plate (MPN: 0501313598) is designed for use in vehicles with manual transmissions, where it plays a crucial role in the drivetrain system. Its primary function is to act as a clutch disc, enabling smooth power transmission between the engine and transmission. With its Austrian origin and ZF brand backing, this product offers exceptional quality and reliability. Clutch discs are circular friction plates integral to manual transmission vehicles, positioned between the engine flywheel and pressure plate. Their primary function is to transmit engine torque to the transmission input shaft when engaged, enabling gear changes. Core construction utilizes a steel center hub splined to the input shaft, faced with friction material riveted or bonded to both sides. Dampening springs or torsional dampers are commonly incorporated to mitigate driveline vibrations and noise. Variations exist based on spline count, diameter, friction material composition, and damping technology, dictated by vehicle and transmission specifications.
