184000252 - 1024B ENGINE FLYWHEEL

CONSTRUCTION FEATURES

In the twin mass DVA (twin damping flywheel) system, one is fixed to the crankshaft and one to the gearbox main shaft with a flexible damping system in between.The resonance points which, in traditional systems, are located at 800 and 2200 rpm, have been moved towards lower rotation speeds, outside of the usage range.The clutch engagement, positioned between the twin flywheel and the gearbox, is made up of a rigid disc (without springs) which, on account of reduced inertia, improves the manoeuvrability of the gearbox.

TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES

The use of the twin shock absorber flywheel instead of a conventional flywheel provides the following advantages:

  • damping the engine irregularities transmitted to the gearbox with a consequent decrease in level of transmission noise;
  • reduction of the rumbling noise in the car interior, as the D.V.A. makes it possible to shift the frequency generated by the transmission below the frequency corresponding to the engine idle speed, attenuating the total noise;
  • reduction of the inertia to be synchronized on the gearbox main shaft, as the clutch disc is lighter, being rigid.
