Clutch Industries has announced a 4Terrain clutch product update of the Ford Ranger, which offers an immediate step up in 4WD performance and durability.
The latest Ford Ranger 4Terrain clutch kit is the product of Clutch Industry's new Research and Development Centre in Melbourne, a large aspect of the company's commitment to product innovation.
The Chief Engineer, Damian Bibby says, "This upgrade will enhance the drivers experience in the 4WDriving, offroad and extreme terrain. The replacement kit brings with it a unique clutch system and is designed specifically for the unique demands of 4-wheel driving. So unique is the design, that no other 4WD performance clutch system offers the same characteristics and benefits".
The great advantage of the 4Terrain system lies in the combination of the cover assembly and clutch plate designs. The cover assembly's pressure plate is manufactured from a Spheroidal Graphite casting material, which has yield strength 300% higher than Original Equipment castings. This materials increased yield strength is evident when comparing its microstructure to standard grey cast iron. Combined with the unique 4Terrain clutch plate which has a conventional synthetic composite material on one side, and on the other side a unique friction material and geometry (segmented) side of the plate. This means that the wear rates of both fiction surfaces are matched. This material also reduces the effects of Fade.
Clutch Industries are the only full service clutch manufacturer in Australia and offer a full engineering, test and manufacturing capability. Innovation, research and development is a high priority for Clutch Industries, and the company invests heavily into R&D in the pursuit of greater market share within both Australian and export markets.
The combination of CI's engineering capability and on-site manufacturing produces the best-engineered product range available from any Australian manufacturer.
