Clutch disks
Together with the clutch cover, the clutch disk enables and separates the power flow and ensures overload protection. It also enables smooth starting, fast gear changes, dampens engine torsional vibrations and prevents rattling noises in the transmission.
The clutch disk is crucial for truck control, as it allows the transmission to be separated from the engine. There are different types of clutch plates, including the pressure plate, the driven plate and the intermediate plate for high torques.
The service life of a clutch disk can vary between 80,000 and 150,000 km, depending on driving style, transport weight and road conditions. Defects usually occur due to abrasion or spring breakage caused by improper use, frequent depressing of the clutch pedal or low brake fluid levels. Improper installation can also lead to problems.
Signs of clutch disc defects include partial malfunction, failure to return to the original position, vibrations, unusual noises and poor acceleration. You can check the degree of wear by testing the pedal travel – the earlier the torque transmission begins, the less worn the clutch disk is. A burning smell requires immediate replacement.
Flywheels
The flywheel transfers the torque from the engine to the transmission and reduces vibrations and noise while driving. In the standardized design of the dry friction clutch, a pressure plate is pressed against the clutch disc and the flywheel using a diaphragm spring or coil springs. The spring force generates the frictional connection via the friction surfaces. The most common defects include tooth problems, cracks and broken threads. Causes of defects are improper maintenance, incomplete depression of the clutch pedal and overloading the vehicle.
Clutch release bearing
The clutch release bearing for trucks is an important component of the transmission that is responsible for separating the clutch disks. There are mechanical and hydraulic types, with the hydraulic ones often being more efficient. Defects can occur due to wear and tear or incorrect installation and cannot normally be repaired. Symptoms of a defect are a long depressed pedal and clear noises. Visual diagnosis is complicated and requires professional support. It is recommended to replace the component every 100,000 to 150,000 kilometers, even if there are no obvious symptoms.
Drive shafts
In commercial vehicles with rigid axles, the drive shafts are installed directly in the axle beam. They transmit the torque from the central gearbox to the wheel hub and the hub gear. A drive shaft enables power to be transmitted from the gearbox to the wheels. It consists of an axle journal and a ball joint on the wheel side, which allow movement in all directions. There is a tripod or constant velocity joint on the side facing the gearbox, which enables a uniform rotary movement and compensates for movements in the vehicle suspension. Drive shafts are designed to be robust and maintenance-free and normally last the life of the car. However, wear or damage to the sleeves will shorten their service life. These defects can cause loud noises, in such cases it is usually necessary to replace the cuffs. In many cases, the damaged drive shaft also needs to be replaced. An examination by an expert provides clarity.
