Meritor offers Euclid high-torque aftermarket clutch

Jun 26, 2013

Meritor now offers Euclid’s high-torque 15½-inch aftermarket clutch in an easy-pedal model for medium- and heavy-duty trucks.

The clutch – which includes 15½-by-2/10 spline/7 spring – offers maximum torque of 2,250 lb.-ft., added vibration control (dampening) for reduced drivetrain torsional rate, a heavier-duty back plate that helps keep springs from wearing faster, and a strap-driven pressure plate that help reduce noise and deliver smoother release.

The reason for this stronger recovery for transportation fleets is a product of the country’s reopening plans that placed heavy dependence and shipping activity for transporters.
