Clutches
The clutch systems from ZF Sachs Race Engineering have brought motor sports teams worldwide to the forefront, from mass sports to Formula 1.
Successful technology, which has been developed, built and manufactured by ZF SRE. Technology, which even in the Performance range means perfect tuning to the respective performance class of the vehicle, all to ensure optimal and safe transmission.
The fundamental advantage of Sachs Performance Clutches compared with OE clutches results in a higher life span and in a superior thermal resistance.
- Pressure plate
- Clutch disc with torsion springs and organic facing
- Rigid clutch disc with organic friction material
- Torsion dampered clutch disc with sintered metal plates
- Clutch disc with sintered metal plates
Reinforced pressure plate
Changes to OE performance clutch:
- higher convertible torque
- higher clamp force
- reduced release travel
- for tuning, street application, chip-tuning (engine)
- race circuit (endurance race, clubsport, autocross)
- hill climbing (e.g. group N)
- rally (e.g. group N)
- drift racing
TopClutch disc with torsion springs and organic friction material
Changes to OE performance clutch:
- the torque damper has a higher stop position: maximum capacity of the torsion damper unit before stop position of locating rivets.
- higher convertible torque
- start performance similar to OE
- Clutch discs with torsion springs function as vibration damper between engine and gearbox
Operational areas:
- for tuning, street application, chip-tuning (engine)
- race circuit (endurance race, clubsport, autocross)
- hill climbing (e.g. group N)
- rally (e.g. group N)
- slalom
- drift racing
Clutch disc without torsion springs and organic friction material
Changes to OE performance clutch:
- higher convertible torque
- higher burst number of revolutions
- start performance similar OE
Operational areas:
- tuning field of two mass flywheels
- race circuit (endurance race, clubsport, autocross)
- hill climbing (e.g. group N)
- slalom
- rally
- drift racing
Clutch disc with torsion springs and sintered metal plates
Changes to OE performance clutch:
- the torque damper has a higher stop position: maximum capacity of the torsion damper unit before stop position of locating rivets.
- higher thermal capacity compared to organic friction material
- higher convertible torque compared to organic friction material
- Clutch discs with torsion springs function as vibration damper between engine and gearbox
- very dirt resistant
- aggressive start performance
Operational areas:
- race circuit (endurance race, clubsport, autocross)
- hill climbing (e.g. group N)
- slalom
- rally
- drift racing
