4131303193 ZF OUTER CLUTCH DISC

An Outer Clutch Disc, or Piston Ring Set, plays a vital role in clutch systems within vehicles. Installed in Drivetrain > Clutch > Clutch Disc areas, it facilitates seamless power transfer between the engine and transmission. Key technical advantages of this product include increased friction capacity, prolonged component lifespan, and an overall improvement in driving dynamics. This ZF manufactured item (MPN 4131303193) is produced 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.
