Clutch TWIN PLATE CLUTCH

cover
assembly The twin plate clutch is characterized by the following:
D Lager torque transmission capacity due to the increased
number of clutch discs
Clutch disc D Constant friction coefficient even at high temperatures
(severe usage) and less lowered wear-resistant perfor-
mance due to metal clutch facing
Caution
The twin plate clutch is so designed as to be used on
a vehicle for motor sport competitions.
In view of noises at starting and during driving and maneu-
verability, it is not suited to ordinary driving.
It should also be noted that the disc must be replaced
more frequently than a standard type clutch because of
the inherent characteristics of its friction material.
