The
ZF 1060372002 Flywheel Damper is an Outer Clutch Disc designed for use in the drivetrain. Originating from Germany, this component significantly reduces torsional vibrations within the powertrain. By absorbing these vibrations, it protects the transmission and improves overall vehicle performance. This damper offers enhanced durability and helps maintain a smooth and consistent connection between the engine and transmission.
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.
