Clutch Types • Push or Pull • Ceramic or Organic • With or Without Pre-Damper
Ceramic Type PUSH TYPE CLUTCH THE DRIVEN PLATE IS RELEASED WHEN THE RELEASE LEVERS ARE PUSHED TOWARDS THE FLYWHEEL. RELEASE LOADS ARE DEPENDENT ON THE DESIGNED RATIO OF THE RELEASE LEVERS.
Ceramic Type PULL TYPE CLUTCH THE DRIVEN PLATE IS RELEASED WHEN THE RELEASE LEVERS ARE PULLED BACK TOWARDS THE TRANSMISSION. THE RELEASE LEVER RATIOS ARE HIGHER ON THIS TYPE OF CLUTCH RESULTING IN LIGHTER RELEASE LOADS. CLUTCH ADJUSTMENTS FOR DISC WEAR ARE CARRIED OUT ON THE RELEASE BEARING ASSEMBLY.
Organic Type with Pre-Damper DIAPHRAGM DIAPHRAGM SPRING PUSH AND PULL TYPE CLUTCHES HAVE LESS COMPONENTS THAN COIL SPRING UNITS, BUT HAVE HIGHER RELEASE BEARING LOADS THAN COIL SPRING CLUTCHES.

Design and Development • Setco R&D facilities exist in the UK and India. • Global Design & Development is lead from the UK R&D centre, which has been developing commercial vehicle clutches for over 30 years. • Key R&D facilities and capabilities include: • 3D CAD Modeling and FEA analysis with PRO/Engineer • Product Life Cycle management with Siemens Team Center • Clutch endurance and analysis capabilities
Testing Testing is an integral part of product development, qualification and evaluation of system performance. Computer simulation is used largely during the design stage, followed by physical functional and endurance prior to production release. The product validation is either as per LIPE test conditions or as per customer specific test conditions.Various test rigs have been designed and implemented for testing the ultimate product. Test rigs include: • Hysterisis • Balancing • Drag torque test rig • Moment of Inertia test rig • Static slip torque test rig • Load checking and deflection • Disc endurance test rig • Cover endurance test rig • Cushion spring endurance test rig
