TROY, Mich. — Meritor has added a high-torque 15.5-inch clutch to its current line for medium- and heavy-duty trucks.

The new clutch, which includes 15.5” x 2”/10 spline/7 spring and a maximum torque of 2,250 lb.-ft., is available from warehouse distributors stocking Euclid-brand parts. Unique features of the Euclid clutch include: superior vibration control (dampening); a heavier-duty back plate designed to keep springs from wearing faster; and a strap-driven pressure plate.

“Truck operators of all sizes want a complete solution for drivetrain systems,” said Bill Statham, senior manager, Drivetrain Products, Aftermarket, Meritor. “Our new Euclid high-torque, easy-pedal clutch is reliable, dependable and long-lasting. These characteristics are what customers demand and our products are designed to exceed those expectations.”  

The clutch is available in an easy-pedal model and offers users a 24-month/unlimited mileage warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
