Meritor Inc. continues to expand its complete solutions offering to aftermarket customers by adding a high-torque 15.5-inch clutch to its current line for medium- and heavy-duty trucks.
Customers can purchase the new clutch, which includes15.5” x 2”/10 spline/7 spring, from warehouse distributors stocking Euclid-brand parts. The clutch, available in an easy-pedal model, offers end users a 24-month/unlimited mileage warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
“Truck operators of all sizes want a complete solution for drivetrain systems,” said Bill Statham, senior manager, Drivetrain Products, Aftermarket, Meritor. “Our new Euclid high-torque, easy-pedal clutch is reliable, dependable and long-lasting. These characteristics are what customers demand and our products are designed to exceed those expectations.”
Unique to this Euclid clutch offering, with maximum torque of 2,250 lb.-ft., are:
- Superior vibration control (dampening), for reduced drivetrain torsional rate
- A heavier-duty back plate that keeps springs from wearing faster which reduces maintenance cost and downtime
- A strap-driven pressure plate, which reduces noise and delivers smoother release
Because Euclid clutches are manufactured new, customers incur no core charge or handling expenses.
