Clutch Kits for Commercial Vehicles

Optimum solutions for demanding tasks
High quality clutches are essential for commercial vehicles. As the market leader, we have the optimum solution for any commercial vehicle, urban motor bus, tractor and special vehicle. Our product range includes singe plate clutches, twin plate clutches, double plate clutches, dual-mass flywheel DMF and concentric slave cylinders.

Superb power transmission
The superb transmission of power from the engine to the road is typical of SACHS The power of the vehicle is used to the full. And this improves safety too. Because with SACHS, you really don't need to worry about your clutch for several 100.000 miles. Over 170 million clutches demonstrate SACHS outstanding technical competence and efficiency in this area.

Fan Clutches

The fan clutch drives the fan in accordance with the required cooling amount. Hence, the fan can be run in intermittent duty. Since the number of revolutions is reduced, the noise is minimized. Moreover, the power consumption and hence the fuel consumption are reduced.
Fan output according to requirements – lighter, quieter, more economic specifically designed for commercial vehicles and busses. Sachs has manufactured bimetallic viscous fan clutches since 1992. It was a logical step to build on experience from the areas of sensor technology and light-weight design in the current development of Sachs viscous fan clutches. This allows the new viscous fan clutches to be controlled directly by the engine management which requires no more installation space than a conventional clutch, is only slightly heavier and consumes even less fuel.

Directly controlled Sachs viscous fan clutches (in this case: electromagnetic control from the engine). Sachs has also supplied plastic fans since January 1997 to match the viscous fan clutches.

Pilot Bearings

The pilot bearing is a ball bearing which supports the gearbox input shaft. Hence, it is essential for the clutch engagement. In case of an angular offset caused by wear, the shaft is displaced. As a consequence, the clutch might be destroyed.

If you replace the clutch, please check the pilot bearing and replace it as well, if necessary.
