Tilton 5.5" (140mm) Sintered Metallic Clutches are available as either 1, 2, 3 or 4 plate designs, with a selection of different diaphragm springs and to fit either step type or pot type flywheels. They benefit from Tilton's longer finger diaphragm design which allows them to be used with a 38mm contact release bearing, this reduces the pedal effort required to release and improves the modulation to facilitate better and more consistant starts. The one pieces aluminium clutch basket is of an open "lug drive" design which allows the clutch to run cooler and cleaner, whilst the drive is transmitted to the cover via forged steel thrust buttons fitted in the legs, a more reliable and durable method than the thin stainless wear clips favoured by other manufacturers. These units are quite simply the best of their type available! Driven plates should be ordered seperately and are available in a huge range of spline and hub options. The clutch selection notes below should help you to choose the most appropriate version, but if you would like to discuss your specific application then please contact us.

The figures listed in the tables should only be used as a guide. Clutch selection needs to take into account the type of event it is being used for and what it is being fitted into. If you require any help making your clutch selection please call or email for guidance.

(1) The quoted torque capacity does not mean that the clutch will be suitable for all or any applications with that torque output. Torque spikes during the combustion cycle and required heat capacity means that in most applications additional plates are required to increase the heat capacity in order to achive acceptable clutch life

(2)Values listed are typical for the release bearings of the optimum contact diameter (38mm for 5 1/2" and 44mm for 7 1/4"). Larger contact diameters will increase release load

(3) Weight and M.O.I. includes driven plate(s)
