ULTRA-SHIFT DM CLUTCH
Eaton DM clutches offer the durability and performance necessary to withstand the high actuation conditions associated with automated transmission systems.
FOR AUTOMATED TRANSMISSIONS: Fits Eaton's UltraShift automated transmissions
TORQUE RATING: 1750 ft.lbs
APPLICATIONS: Heavy and Medium duty
Core features:
The clutch system of the UltraShift®transmission is a fundamental piece of this transmission
Centrifugal design relies on engine RPM for engagement
Soft rate dampers and ceramic facings provide smooth engagement
Smooth, quick shifts
Eaton’s first-generation UltraShift transmission uses a centrifugal clutch to “float shift” by RPM. The UltraShift™ 6, 10 and 13-speed transmissions use the DM centrifugal clutch, which engages and disengages without an in-cab pedal and helps to maximize clutch life. A two-plate configuration is used for heavy duty applications and a single-plate for medium duty applications. Soft rate dampers and ceramic facings provide smooth engagement.
