RIGID CLUTCH DISCS    

*|MC:SUBJECT|*

FEATURES

 Specially tuned cushion deflection

 Suited to vehicles with a Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF) as dampening occurs in the flywheel

 

ADVANTAGES

 Simple design

 Smooth buildup of torque when used with a DMF

Note: When not used in conjunction with a DMF engagement is sudden and NVH could be an issue as the clutch system has no dampening.

      SINGLE-STAGE TORSIONAL DAMPER CLUTCH DISCS    

FEATURES

 Single-stage torsional damper with custom spring tension

 Suited to vehicles with either a single or dual mass flywheel

 

ADVANTAGE

 Reduction of vibration and noise in the powertrain

      MULTI-RATE TORSIONAL DAMPER CLUTCH DISC    

FEATURES

 Multi-stage torsional damper with separated first and second stage dampers

 Tuned for low torque low angularity dampening as well has high toque high angularity dampening

 Suited for vehicles with a solid mass flywheel or vehicles that have been converted from a dual mass flywheel to a solid mass flywheel

ADVANTAGES

 Reduction of vibration and noise in the powertrain

 Smooth build up of torque when accelerating

 Low vibrations at idle

      CLUTCH DISCS AND DUAL MASS FLYWHEELS    

A DMF is designed to reduce the torsional vibrations in the powertrain therefore generally a clutch disc used in a DMF has no torsional dampeners. If a vehicle is converted from a DMF to a solid mass flywheel the clutch disc is now required to dampen noise and vibrations. This is done by using a multi-rate clutch disc which reduces most of the noise and vibration however in some vehicles higher vibration and noise can be experienced compared to the standard DMF.
