Designed
for lightly tuned performance cars. This
series consists of a reinforced clutch
system based on Ogura racing experience.
Each vehicle application is designed
individually based on the concept of
strength & lightweight.
The
RC303 racing clutch system from OGURA is
a standard item used by many car racing
teams, and these teams depends on the
RC303 clutch on their competition race
cars to acheive victories. At OGURA
Clutch, all high performance Ogura Race
Clutch (ORC) systems are developed with
the state of the art technology in
automotive clutch materials &
material processing. This is realized
with the use of high quality super
lightweight material while maintaining
superior stength. All systems are
designed using the Finite Element Method
computer analysis. All ORC products are
track tested to satisfaction on
performance & reliability before
releasing the product into the market.
All ORC systems will transfer maximum
power & torque of a high performance
race engine through minimum effort on
the clutch pedal, and will provide
excellent feedback to the driver during
"heel & toe" driving.
- ORC's
173 mm diameter small disk is
suitable for torque transmission of
100kgfm & above.
- The
ORC systems uses the driving-hub
clutch system.
- The
ORC system will improve the number
of connecting shafts from 5 to 9
between the clutch cover, plate
& flywheel.
- The
ORC improve the mating of the clutch
cover with the plates by using a
circular disk rather than a pentagon
shaped disk. The circular shaped
clutch cover & plates distribute
the sudden torque generated evenly
and will prevent the deformation of
the clutch parts.
- Slits
are incorporated to the pressure
plate & middle plate to
dissipate heat, and protect them
from warping due to excessive heat
during hard driving.
- The
parts in the ORC clutch system are
checked for its reliability &
durability for strength in
simulation using sophisticated
Finite Element Method Analysis
computer software.
- All
Ogura flywheel (ORC-FW) are designed
specifically for each individual
vehicle model. This is done via a
thorough study of each engine model
by collecting test & research
data.
- All
ORC-FW are designed to be strong as
well as lightweight using forged
using a high grade SCM435
Chrome-molybdenum steel.
- As
per the ORC systems, all ORC-FW are
tested for their strength &
durability using the Finite Element
Method Analysis.
Available
in many variations, the 309, 409, 559,
600 and 709 series in either single,
twin or triple plate clutch
configurations. This is the most popular
super performance ORC system. It is a
twin plate construction that will retain
the original clutch peadl work while
using a wider frictional area.
Applications depends on car
specifications.
