1071298012 ZF OUTER CLUTCH DISK

This ZF Clutch Kit component is specifically designed as the outer clutch disc, playing a crucial role in the clutch assembly. Its primary function is to enable efficient power transfer between the engine and transmission in manual-transmission vehicles. The technical benefits of this product include enhanced friction performance and thermal management capabilities, which contribute to improved transmission durability and reduced maintenance needs. With an MPN of 1071298012 and originating from Germany, this clutch disc meets high standards of quality and reliability. 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.
