Benefits
The clutch release bearing is the transfer element between the rotating clutch and the stationary actuation
system. Optimized synthetic materials for the sliding
sleeve and a friction-optimized interface between the
thrust ring and the diaphragm spring minimize the increase in hysteresis over the entire service life.
With the dynamic starter clutch, the rotating electric motor propels
the stationary combustion engine to its operating speed by engaging
the clutch in less than 0.3 second, without undesirable side effects.
This clutch can also transmit extremely high torque levels.

Benefits
The technology:
In automated manual transmissions, electromechanical or hydraulic actuators take over the clutch and shift
actions. In either case, individual driving pleasure is not
diminished because drivers can decide whether they
want to use the automatic mode or shift manually using
switches or levers.

For a torsional damper in the clutch disc, the resonance rpm
lies in the lower engine speed range, but for a dual mass flywheel it lies well below the engine idling speed.
