Torque Clutch

Torque clutchThe new torque clutch comprises three components manufactured from carbon-fiber-reinforced polyamide or thermoplastic polyurethane. The weight is less than half that of previous variants. One important element is carbon-fiber-reinforced polyamide. A similar material is already being used for other vehicle components, such as transmission crossbeams and torque rod supports; however, this is the first time it has ever been used in connection with this torque clutch.

The assembly also contains components manufactured from thermoplastic polyurethane. This combination makes the torque clutch particularly abrasion-resistant. The material reduces wear throughout the entire service life of the component. In passenger cars with electronic steering assistance, it links the engine to the transmission via the steering and protects the transmission by compensating for the axle offset in the event of wear.
