carbon clutches - Honda Single & Nissan twin, triple |
| |
ATS presents its carbon
clutch produced by a joint development with ACROSS Corporation. ACROSS Corporation
is a leading carbon manufacture with the most advanced CC composite technology
in the world. The super light and heat resistant characteristics of CC composite
gives a driver truly exceptional strength, response, and durability. Its operation
is very smooth and easy on the transmission. From the street to the racetrack,
under any driving condition, ATS carbon clutch enhances your driving performance
and excitement. | Super
shift response | The weight of ATS carbon friction disk
is only 400g. It is exceptionally light | | Super
heat-resistance | Designed to resist over 2,000 degrees
Centigrade (3,650 degrees Fahrenheit) | | Super
deformation-resistance | The deformation is 1/10 of iron.
You always get a smooth & crisp engagement | | Super
easy operation | Operating ATS clutch is very easy, even
when driving up a slope and in a traffic congestion | | Super
power transfer | 10% to 30% higher transfer capacity than
the metal clutch
For "Pro Spec" single with a specially carbon
coated pressure plate, the torque transfer is 30% to 50% higher than the metal |
| Super durability | Due to the various
favorable characteristics of carbon, the clutch has a very long life |
ATS carbon clutch comes with ATS light flywheel made
of carbon steel. Rated

clutch is assembled after we receive your order. It takes one day to build and
about 4 business days to ship it from ATS Japan to your place. Please specify
the model (your car, triple, twin, or single), pressure plate rate, type of plate
(standard, type r, or soft), and pressure plate and flywheel type (standard or
CCM) if applicable when ordering. Please allow about 3 weeks for CCM special order.

| Type of the plate |
Description | | Standard | Maintains
even and smooth operation regardless of the disc temperature. Most popular choice. |
| Type R | The
delivered torque increases sharply at or above a certain disc temperature. When
severe operation like a racing start is repeated, causing the disc to heat above
a certain temperature, the shuddering becomes noticeable and half clutching becomes
less frequent. When discs cools, the smooth operation is restored. The Type R
disc is suitable for drag racing. | | Soft | Even
though the horse power rating goes down by about 30 %, Soft type provides a stock
like clutch operation without sacrificing any other excellent carbon clutch characteristics.
If you mainly drive on the street and do not push your car to the limit frequently,
this soft type might be for you. It is gentle to your motor, transmission, and
driver. It also has less shattering noise. The soft type uses non carbon
coated floating plate(s). The carbon plates are same as the standard type. |

CCM | CCM
(carbon coated metal) pressure plate / flywheel delivers more torque than
standard metal pressure plate / flywheel.. The carbon coating was first introduced
to the pressure plate for our single carbon clutch (Pro spec). Currently the application
is offered as an option for the pressure plate for ATS twin/triple clutches and
for all the ATS carbon clutch flywheels. CCM flywheel - +$90.00, CCM pressure
plate - +$90.00 | | | | Pressure
plate rate | The higher the pressure plate
rate, the more torque is delivered. Consequently, a clutch with a higher pressure
plate rate has a higher horse power / torque rating. (Please refer to the rated
horse power section above). However with a higher pressure plate rate, the pedal
pressure also increases accordingly. | | |
| Heavy flywheel | A
heavier flywheel is offered as an option for several ATS carbon clutches. A heavier
flywheel (1) makes the drag launch or the start on a slope easier (2) reduces
the engine harmonics vibration / noise significantly. However, please note that
engine pick up speed goes down. If a heavy flywheel is not offered for your specific
model, choose the heavy steel clutch cover option instead. (Explained below). |
| | | Heavy
steel cover | A heavier steel clutch
cover is offered instead of the aluminum cover as an option for ATS twin/triple
carbon clutches. The metal cover is 3.6kg heavier than the aluminum cover. A heavier
cover (1) makes the drag launch or the start on a slope easier (2) reduces the
engine harmonics vibration However, as is the case for a heavy flywheel,
the heavy metal cover reduces the engine response and is not suitable for pure
performance driving. The heavy steel cover option - +$40.00 |
ATS full carbon triple clutch - our answer
to the extreme drag racing situation New
To
completely eliminate trouble with repeated clutch operations in drag racing (drag
launches warp iron parts), the pressure plate and the middle plate (floating plate)
are also made of distortion free carbon material. The combination of specially
designed pressure plate and new carbon composite of longer wear range has put
an end to the fear of insufficient clutch disengagement.

sorry for the delay. The release date has been determined yet for the full carbon
clutch.
ATS single
carbon clutch " Pro Spec"
ATS single carbon clutches have gained a phenomenal
upgrade and are to be released on December 1, 2003 under the name of "Pro
Spec".
For
the past several years since we released the first single carbon clutch, ATS has
been constantly making progress to make it better. Still, we recognized that there
were several occasions our single carbon clutch (old type 800kg, and current 1,000kg
pressure plate model) did not provide satisfactory power transfer .
By
changing the composition of the carbon disc and applying special carbon coating
on the surface of the pressure plate (CCM), ATS has successfully increased the
torque delivery by exceptional 25% to 45%. The new disc and the pressure plate
will be used for all the single carbon clutch - 1,000kg, 1,300kg, 1,500kg, &
1,600kg. The torque transfer capacity of the new 1,600kg "Pro Spec"
single will exceed some of our competitors' twin clutches.
With the CCM flywheel, ATS single carbon clutch is by far the strongest
carbon clutch available in the market. Note:
Single carbon clutch, compared with twin and triple carbon clutches, has
a higher risk of slippage and wear down depending on the usage. Also the new single
carbon clutch might cause shuddering at the engagement depending on the model
of the car. |

For the ultimate torque delivery
and durability
- ATS twin / triple carbon clutch
From
the roadrace to drag race, ATS twin / triple clutch is a super weapon to win the
race. (ATS recommends a triple carbon clutch for dragracing regardless of the
horsepower/torque of your racecar) Structure
- aluminum cover, metal pressure plate, carbon/carbon clutch plates, CCM (carbon
coated metal) floating plate(s), carbon steel flywheel.
[CCM is offered as an option for the pressure plate and flywheel]. Carbon clutch for Porsche - will be released
in January 2005. Unparalleled torque delivery and easy to the transmission and
engine.

not be confused!!
It is often
explained and understood that a carbon clutch "slips when cold", "unable
to handle super high power", as if these are unavoidable negative consequences.
ATS&ACROSS shatters this notion completely. Our carbon clutch do not slip
even when they are cold and the overwhelming torque delivery capacities assure
the power transfer. Those claims are strongly supported by the fact that numerous
famous shops choose our carbon clutch for their shop vehicles. Back
