Description
From:
The clutch disc is the clutch’s central connection element.In combination with the clutch pressure plate, it both separates and links engine and powertrain. It also reduces the speed fluctuations in the gearbox caused by the combustion motor. LuK offers the best solutions for every application, from clutch discs with simple torsion damper through to variants with multi-stage dampers, from rigid clutch discs for use in the dual mass flywheel right through to the displacement correction clutch disc. Since clutches are subject to wear during use in the vehicle, LuK, as the first clutch manufacturer, put a great deal of effort into developing a type of wear compensation system for the clutch, and put it in production in 1995. The self-adjusting clutch SAC uses a load sensor (sensor-diaphragm spring) to activate its wear compensation by turning a ramp ring. This compensation mechanism has made it possible to decrease operating loads. The compensation for the clutch wear has also made it possible to increase the clutch service life by about 1.5 times without any significant change in the operating load over the service life. The wear adjustment system of the SAC – consisting of the sensor-diaphragm spring (load sensor) and the deep-drawn steel adjuster ring – is characterized by very high functional precision. Since a harmonic operating load curve is required in addition to comfortable clutch operation, the SAC was created with the capacity to be tuned to specific vehicle characteristic curves. One of the mechanisms that makes this possible is the compensation spring, which can generate the flatter characteristic curves that are frequently desired. The newly developed SAC II. provides a further optimization of the system. Here, the load sensor is not comprised of a second diaphragm spring, but rather of the sensor fingers formed from the main diaphragm spring and special tangential leaf springs with a decreasing characteristic curve.
