The R&D department at Zoom has been hard at work this last year. At SEMA Zoom Performance Products unveiled their new clutches and we were there to get the scoop.
Vs3 Clutch System For Drag Racing
This new clutch is designed to have not only strong clamping force but be adjustable as well. That’s right, the static pressure can be set from 1,000 lbs all the way to 2,800 lbs. Actuation is controlled by a CNC machined 4130 steel long style lever with a counter weight provision attached to the 4340 steel yokes. With six different adjustable springs anyone can dial in this clutch for exactly what they want using nothing more than a screwdriver. The full-faced iron clutch disc is available in many popular spline configurations and is SFI approved for competition use.
New Science Friction
The new Science Friction is a Kevlar based friction material that requires no brake in period what so ever. This allows you to get right out there and enjoy your car without having to wait and break it in. You may think there is a down side to this somewhere. Rest assure, you still get the smooth engagement, long service life, and high torque holding abilities Zoom is known for. Add to that this Single Friction Kevlar fiber based monoblock which is a low-density formula that provides permanent centrifugal force resistance, exceptional durability and high heat tolerance compared to typical clutch facing materials. So many people are talking about this - It could be the fact that this technology is available in all of Zoom’s HP kits at no extra cost.
