Instructor: Dirk Fuchs, ZF Aftermarket Technical Training Manager
All fundamental facts about the tasks and functions of a clutch system will be defined. We will cover
physical foundations of a clutch, specifically how to calculate the transferable torque of the clutch.
This is the key to understanding the whole system, and to decrease mounting mistakes.
The trainer will also talk about the functions and basic knowledge of the release system. There will
be a review of pull and push type clutches.
The different clutch discs will be introduced to the audience as well as the torsional damping system
and the cushion spring. The participants will receive information about why a self-adjusting clutch
exists and its functions. The main point is the installation of this clutch type.
Time: April 8th: 6PM CDT, 1 hour
After completing this training, the participant will be able to:
• Understand the clutch operation of pull and push type
• Explain the best clutch diagnostics
• Describe the clutch release system
• Explain how to install a clutch system correctly
