Intelligent power management company Eaton announced it is now offering Advantage® automated series clutch and Cummins flywheel kits for the Eaton-Cummins Endurant™ automated manual transmission (AMT). The two will be sold in the same kit for the first time.
A flywheel, which is the interface between the engine and clutch, is bolted to the engine and spins when in operation. The clutch cover, which is bolted to the flywheel, also spins, and the driven disc of the clutch engages against the flywheel, which over time can cause wear.
“Today's manufacturers recommend that flywheels should be replaced, rather than the previous practice of resurfacing worn flywheels,” said Leandro Girardi, director, Aftermarket, Eaton’s Mobility Group. “This ensures the flywheel fits correctly to engage with the clutch, and prevents fault codes, excessive wear and vibrations.”
Eaton’s Advantage Automated clutch is the original equipment clutch used in the Endurant transmission. It provides superior protection, less maintenance and offers maximum uptime and performance.
“Replacing the clutch and flywheel at the same time has several benefits, including saving time, labor, and eliminating the possibility of one of the components wearing out before the other,” Girardi added. “It also ensures optimal vehicle performance and protects against driveline wear.”
