The Specific Gravity of the carbon is 1/3 of iron. By attaching the special carbon material on the outer edges of the clutch disc, an ultra low inertia is realized which cannot be accomplished by the conventional clutches. The low inertia makes the quick shift very easy and at the same time, it minimises damage to the synchro gears.
A standard clutch disc usually fades at high temperature and the torque capacity declines substantially. However, the carbon disc has much higher resistance to fade and maintains normal operation. When the carbon is cooled down, the friction coefficient is relatively low and consequently it provides softer and judder less engagement. When it is warmed up, with an increase of friction coefficient, the clutch transfers a much higher torque value. This is a high performance clutch which is very easy to use for daily driving.
The new carbon clutch has spring center dampers in order to achieve an easy operation and to reduce the impact to the transmission at the engagement.
The conventional metal clutches susceptible to the engagement point changes depending on the degree of thermal expansion. The carbon disc has extremely low thermal coefficient of expansion (1/10 of he iron) and the clutch operation is not affected by the heat.
