KIT4P design: Long Travel Damper (L.T.D.)

6.1 Long Travel Damper technology

The D.M.F. is designed to increase the mass moment of inertia of the transmission without increasing the mass to be shifted (flywheel weight) or, in other words, to equalize the iner- tia between gearbox and flywheel. The KIT4P is composed of a rigid flywheel with a significant moment of inertia used as a storage device for rotational energy. Thanks to Valeo’s Long Travel Damper technology, the dampening function can be transferred to the clutch disc. In certain cases, however, Valeo may use a stan- dard damper to comply with clutch requirements due to design and vehicle characteristics.
