Meritor has expanded its offering to aftermarket customers by adding a high-torque 15.5-in. clutch for medium- and heavy-duty trucks.

Customers can purchase the new clutch, which includes15.5×2-in./10 spline/7 spring, from warehouse distributors stocking Euclid-brand parts. The clutch, available in an easy-pedal model, sports a 24-month/unlimited mileage warranty against defects in material and workmanship.

Unique to this Euclid clutch offering, with maximum torque of 2250 lb ft, are said to be superior vibration control (dampening) for reduced drivetrain torsional rate; a heavier-duty back plate that keeps springs from wearing faster which reduces maintenance cost and downtime; and a strap-driven pressure plate, which reduces noise and delivers smoother release

Because Euclid clutches are manufactured new, customers incur no core charge or handling expenses.
