flywheel

The flywheel is a central component in the drivetrain and is located on the crankshaft between the engine and the clutch. It stores rotational energy, compensates for engine rotational irregularities, and ensures smoother running, especially at low speeds. It also serves as the friction surface for the clutch and, in many vehicles, carries the ring gear for the starter motor. Depending on the vehicle, rigid or dual-mass flywheels are used. The dual-mass flywheel further reduces torsional vibrations and improves comfort, noise levels, and transmission load. Crucial factors include the correct diameter, proper tooth geometry, precise drilling patterns, counterweights, and high material strength. Wear, heat cracks, warping, or defects in the damping unit can lead to vibrations, noise, juddering, or starting problems. At Autoteile Gossau, you'll find flywheels in original and aftermarket quality for many vehicle models.
