LuK Dual Mass Flywheel - LuK was the first manufacturer in Europe to develop and sell a dual-mass flywheel in large-scale standard production that was able to realize this physical principle. The name says it all: The mass of the conventional flywheel was simply split in two. One part continues to belong to the engine’s mass moment of inertia, while the other part now increases the mass moment of inertia of the transmission. The two decoupled masses are linked by a spring/damping system. One clutch disc, without a torsion damper, between the secondary mass and the transmission handles the engaging and disengaging functions. A favorable side effect is that the transmission is easier to shift because of the low mass to be synchronized, and there is less synchronization wear.

LUK Clutch
Historically, the core business of LuK – what many people do not know is that this abbreviation stands for “Lamellen und Kupplungsbau”, in English disc and clutch makers - is clutches, the associated systems and the dampers in the power train. LuK’s rise to success started with the standard production of the diaphragm spring clutch. Today, the range spans much more: Besides developments in the self-adjusting clutch (SAC), the term clutch systems also comprises the complex “clutch and actuation” operation and the disengaging system.

The headquarters of the international LuK Group are situated in Bühl on the edge of the Black Forest. Every fourth car that comes off a production line anywhere in the world is fitted with a LuK clutch. We produce at 17 sites in Germany, France, Brazil, the UK, India, China, Korea, Mexico, South Africa, Hungary and the USA.
