The new DynamicPerform Multidisk Clutch
Perfectly designed for ZF’s successful TraXon automatic transmission
Designed to meet the highest requirements
DynamicPerform, the new clutch module that pairs with the successful TraXon automatic transmission, will bring innovative and popular ZF features to the construction vehicle segment. It is perfectly suited for special vehicles and mobile cranes with three to five axles.
Designed as a wet starting clutch for heavy vehicles, DynamicPerform transfers the engine output through the multidisk clutch integrated into the module.
The clutch disks are cooled by continuous circulating oil, which protects the clutch system from overheating and enables nearly wear-free and longterm maneuvering even with high friction energy. This prevents downtime and helps to considerably extend the availability and the service life of the driveline.
The functions
The multidisk clutch DynamicPerform has an integrated control unit for the cooling oil circuit.
For this component, ZF has developed its own temperature model software for the unique needs of heavy-duty vehicles. Using pressure and temperature sensors, critical driving situations can be monitored and optimally controlled so that the multidisk clutch is always engaged in a safe range.
This means concretely for the customers:
- Greater efficiency
- Lower maintenance costs
- Driver relief due to easily adjustable clutch
