Meritor Inc. has unveiled its line of 14-in. and 15.5-in. clutches in standard and easy-pedal effort models, designed for medium- and heavy-duty trucks. Meritor says both models will be available under the company’s Euclid brand.
The Euclid 15.5-in. clutch assemblies are available with seven, eight, nine and 10 spring disc designs with torque ratings from 1250 to 2050 ft.-lbs., and the Euclid 14-in. clutch assemblies are available with torque ratings from 620 to 1400 ft.-lbs., the company says.
