What can Twin Disk Clutch provide?

Heavy vehicles, rough terrain – the clutch is subject to extreme loads here, where drive-offs on extreme gradients and frequent maneuvering can be part of the daily routine. Long slipping times of the clutch generate heat, which increases wear on the facings to a disproportionate degree.

Details

With twice the number of friction surfaces and a greater heat absorption capacity, a twin disc clutch can “keep cool” and protect its friction facings even under difficult conditions.
The intelligent ZF intermediate-plate control mechanism ensures reliable interruption of the power flow for both discs when disengaging the clutch. Defined control of the intermediate-plate makes sure that each disc has sufficient lift. When the clutch engages, the two clutch discs also grip uniformly and without jolting. And distributing the engine torque over two torsional dampers effectively reduces the noise level in the powertrain.
