The
ZF 1087373023 clutch disc is an essential part of the vehicle's drivetrain, responsible for connecting and disconnecting the engine from the transmission. It is installed as part of the clutch assembly. This component provides reliable engagement and disengagement, resulting in a smooth and responsive driving experience. This clutch disc is manufactured in Germany.
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.
