Compared to volume-production pressure plates, SACHS Performance pressure plates have a higher transferable torque and are less sensitive to thrust loading. SACHS Performance clutch pressure plates are used with different disks, depending on the vehicle's requirements. Higher pedal forces might occur.

Fields of application:

• Chip tuning
• Turbocharger and supercharger conversions
• Vehicles with maximum payload and / or subject to high stress (e.g., towing service, ambulances, snowplows, commercial vehicles, driving school vehicles and taxis)
• ¼ mile races
• Circular tracks such as endurance racing, club sports, autocross
• Hill climbs
• Rally, racing slaloms and drifting

SACHS Performance offers torsion-damped and rigid disks with an organic lining. Compared to volume-production clutches, torsion-damped and rigid disks feature higher-quality linings. The torsional damper has a higher stop position and functions as a shock absorber between the engine and transmission.

Fields of application:

• Chip tuning
• Turbocharger and supercharger conversions
• Vehicles with maximum payload and / or subject to high stress (e.g., towing service, ambulances, snowplows, commercial vehicles, driving school vehicles and taxis)
• ¼ mile races
• Circular tracks such as endurance racing, club sports, autocross
• Rally, racing slaloms and drifting

Torsion-damped and rigid sintered disks from SACHS Performance offer a higher thermal load capacity and a higher transferable torque than disks with an organic lining. They are very resistant to dirt and support aggressive starts. Torsion-damped clutch disks have a higher stop position and function as shock absorbers between the engine and transmission.

Fields of application:

• ¼ mile races
• Circular tracks such as endurance racing, club sports, autocross
• Hill climbs (e.g., Group N)
• Rally, racing slaloms and drifting

SACHS Performance PCS modules are ideal for extremely high torques and can handle speeds of up to 12,000 rpm. The use of rigid lightweight flywheels can reduce weight by up to 60 percent.

Fields of application (only for motorsports):

• ¼ mile races
• Circular tracks such as endurance racing, club sports, autocross
• Rally, racing slaloms and drifting

Notes:

• Easy to switch with series version
• Comes as organic or sintered PCS module
• A reduction of mass and a more rigid connection can cause a stronger transfer of transmission noise
