- 1 disc
- 2 discs
- 3 discs
- 4 discs
The more discs that are used, the more engine torque can be transfered by the clutch. More discs also allow a grea ter heat capacity of the clutch.
Example: 2-disc clutch = double transmittable engine torque
Materials of the components
RCS Carbon
Pressure plate and hub for this clutch can be selected in three different materials: Aluminum
is particularly light, but has limited heat resistance. Steel is heavier, but very robust and particularly cost efficient. High grade titanium offers the most advantages: it is both very light, strong and at the same time extremely heat resistant.

Materials of the components
RCS Organic, RCS Sinter-Pad and RCS Sinter The pressure plate and the intermediate plates are offered for these clutches in a choice of cast iron or steel. Cast iron is recommended primarily for use in flying starts, while the high grade steel material is suitable for all requirements, especially for standing starts.

Torsion-dampened and rigid clutch discs
Sachs RCS clutches have been developed for racing. This means that a high priority has been placed on minimizing both the weight and the moment of inertia. For weight reasons, RCS clutches normally
feature rigid clutch discs. However, RCS clutches are often installed in vintage cars and vehicles with vulnerable transmissions. Therefore we are now offering torsion-dampened clutch discs. They lower
the vibrational load on the transmission, and reduce noise levels.
