Ask nearly any classic Pontiac owner about the effort required to actuate the factory-installed clutch. Back in the day I remember being stuck in traffic in my ...

In automatic transmissions a smooth clutch operation is related to the velocity dependence of the coefficient of friction (COF). Although JASO M348 and other full-scale clutch tests, or other ...

You can't escape friction. The force that resists motion between two objects that are in contact with one another exhibits itself all over the place: in between your engine's rod bearings and its ...

You know that two surfaces mate, but what is a friction clutch or brake? Using friction has been the most popular way to engage and stop loads since the 1800s. Surfaces interact with ...

Centerforce Clutches has combined its superior centrifugally assisted diaphragm pressure plate with a revolutionary new Dual-Friction disc that utilizes dissimilar friction compounds on each of its ...

The functional lifetime of a wet clutch can be characterized using wear characteristics such as velocity dependence of the coefficient of friction (COF) and friction curves. Current market trends ...

Featuring a snap-on gear, this modular friction clutch boasts of being easy to assemble, as no hardware or tools are needed to mount the gear. The CS-08 series friction clutch is designed for use in ...

Every clutch is made up of two major components: a pressure plate that's bolted directly to the flywheel and a disc, also called a driven plate or a friction lining, that's sandwiched in between the ...
