1071371052 ZF OUTER CLUTCH DISC

ZF's Lamel Clutch Plates are employed in the clutch disc assembly of vehicles. These plates provide enhanced performance by offering superior heat dissipation capabilities, which contribute to increased clutch lifespan 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.
