Smart Clutch IQ16

Based on the electrical signal, the electronics assess whether everything is in order. Not only that, but it also extends the life of the ball bearings installed in the clutch.

Fail-safe function through slip monitoring
Increased bearing life due to micropulsing
Power saving through "peak-and-hold" control CO² saving
Possibility of predictive maintenance with current monitoring in the A/C control unit
Our clutches are available for all significant compressor types on the market
Developed according to the IATF16949 processes and can be sampled according to PPAP and PFF.

The electronical device monitors the electrical signal of the clutch.

Different speed of disk and rotor leads to changes in the inductance "noise" in the current signal.

Slip monitoring function:

Step 1:Increasing PWM rate
Step 2: Device increase current/force until noise in the signal is no longer detected
Step 3: Opening of the clutch if noise also at PWM 100%

Protection of the clutch against excessive temperature effects in case of incorrect actuation such as blocking compressor or wear of the clutch.
