A dual-mass flywheel is a rotating mechanical device that is used to provide continuous energy in systems where the energy source is not continuous, the same way as a conventional flywheel acts, but damping any violent variation of torque or revolutions that could cause an unwanted vibration.
What is the function of a dual mass flywheel?
The DMF transmits the engine torque to the clutch pressure plate and the clutch disk. Its primary purpose is to isolate the torsional vibrations generated in the engine, preventing them from passing into the driveline.
How do I know if my dual mass flywheel is worn?
- Check the friction surface for excessive heat checks and scoring. ...
- Check for excessive grease loss due to overheating. ...
- Check for visible damage including the ring gear, and other parts found inside the bellhousing.
- Check the rotational free play. ...
- Check for secondary plate rock.
