The typical heavy duty European truck clutch (large single plate, diaphragm spring type) has many functional advantages compared to the typical heavy duty North American truck clutch (twin plate, coil spring type). Design comparisons, installation measurements, drive evaluations, laboratory tests, fleet tests and theoretical analyses are used to demonstrate the following advantages: Ergonimic advantages: Reduced pedal effort, improved clutch engagement quality, reduced transmission shift effort, and improved noise and vibration problem solving capability. Operational advantages: Easier installation, reduced and simplified in-service maintenance adjustments, longer wear life, improved reliability, and greater torque capacity under thermal loading.
