Flywheels – Single & Dual Mass
AmTech Manufacturing Solutions Guide Options
Our Handy solutions guide can help you determine what manufacturing process is right for your project or product.
Since both flywheel assemblies and flexplate assemblies accomplish the same function and are somewhat similar in appearance, they are often referred to interchangeably, but are in fact two different parts.
A flywheel gear is used primarily in manual transmissions. It is attached to the engine crankshaft, and holds the ring-gear that is used to crank the engine. The wheel connects directly to the clutch, stores energy to move the vehicle from inertia, and provides a friction surface for the clutch to attach to. Because of this, these parts are usually cast, and are thick and heavy, to allow for the clutch’s surface.
These parts are manufactured through a casting method, and for now, sand casting is the most common production process for these OEM parts. Depending on the application, the materials used are nodular iron, steel or aluminum. Once cast, the wheel is finished by machining and boring.
Next, a square or rectangular steel bar of a preset length is bent into a circle configuration and the ends welded together, with the major diameter larger than the finished gear size.
The ring is then heated, and either stamped or bored to size on the minor diameter. Next, the gear teeth are hobbed onto the ring, and hardened to improve strength and resistance. Lastly, the ring is shrunk onto the flywheel.
