Clutch Systems

Superior Clutch Systems 

Clutch systems in transmissions are responsible for connecting the transmission to the engine. Because the clutch system is so important for the proper functioning of the transmission, they require optimal materials to support their performance. However, clutch systems are exposed to damaging performance conditions that imperil the operational capacities of the transmission. 

Syensqo addresses the harsh operational conditions that may threaten clutch systems with our portfolio of specialty polymer solutions. Our polymer solutions enhance the performance capabilities of clutch systems regardless of chemically or thermally chemical environments. 

 

Industry-Proven Materials for Clutch Systems

Syensqo’s portfolio of unique specialty polymers includes solutions curated for enhancing clutch systems and their complex applications. With various features such as lightweighting, thermal resistance, and dimensional stability, our portfolio demonstrates great capabilities in improving clutch system components and other transmission parts. Our renowned brands include Amodel® PPA and Torlon® PAI.

Seal Rings for DCT Clutch Actuation

The technical requirements for clutch actuator seal rings range from conformability to dimensional stability in harsh thermal environments. Torlon® PAI is a great alternative for metals because it performs well in high PV applications and retains strength in temperatures of up to 150°C.

 

Concentric Clutch Cylinder 

With service temperatures reaching up to 160°C, concentric clutch cylinders must demonstrate resistance to many conditions and substances, from thermal to chemical. Syensqo provides manufacturers Torlon® PAI for excellent surface and toughness quality as well as resistance properties to help concentric clutch cylinders thrive in harsh operating environments.
