0501313802 ZF OUTER CLUTCH DISC

This Lamella Clutch Plate is an essential part in the drivetrain system, serving as a torque transmitter between the engine and transmission. Its usage context includes high-performance vehicles or racing cars where optimal power transfer is critical. The lamella design of this clutch plate offers enhanced heat management and longer lifespan, resulting in improved overall performance and reduced maintenance needs. 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.
