ZF Outer Clutch Disc, identified by MPN 1087372077, plays a vital role in the vehicle’s clutch system, located within the drivetrain. It efficiently transmits engine power to the transmission. Originating from Germany, the disc’s robust construction promotes consistent engagement and a longer service life.
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.
