WG9443161003 is a Type 430 Clutch Driven Disc Assembly (commonly known as a clutch disc) used in SINOTRUK HOWO series heavy-duty trucks. It is a key wearing component of the automotive powertrain, not an alternator, but a mechanical part used to control power transmission.
Function Introduction
Primary Role: To transmit/interrupt power. Within the automotive powertrain, it connects the engine's flywheel to the transmission's input shaft. By being clamped or released, it transmits engine power to the transmission or temporarily interrupts the power flow, allowing for gear changes or stopping.
Damping Function: The driven disc assembly typically contains damping springs that absorb torsional vibrations generated by engine operation. This protects the powertrain components and makes gear shifting and driving smoother.
Primary Application
- •
Compatible Vehicles: Primarily suited for heavy-duty trucks such as SINOTRUK HOWO, SINOTRUK HOHAN, SINOTRUK SITRAK, and some models of FOTON AUMAN, SHACMAN DE LONG, and other brands of heavy trucks.
- •
Operating Conditions: Mainly used for connecting and disconnecting power during the starting, gear shifting, and driving of heavy vehicles.
Precautions
- •
Paired Replacement: When replacing this clutch disc, it is recommended to simultaneously inspect and replace the corresponding Clutch Pressure Plate Assembly (e.g., model number WG9114160010) to prevent issues like shuddering or slipping caused by improper fit between old and new components.
- •
Model Confirmation: Before purchasing, verify the complete part number on the vehicle's old component to ensure an exact match with WG9443161003.
