Helix Cerametallic Paddle Clutch Drive Plate - Sprung Centre

The Helix Cerametallic Paddle Clutch Drive Plate is a direct replacement for standard clutch plates, designed to handle significantly higher torque loads in highly tuned or competition cars. Its cerametallic friction material, increased thermal capacity, and durable construction allow it to maintain performance under extreme heat and engine speed conditions.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of the key features, their benefits, and how they contribute to overall performance and drivability:

• High-performance cerametallic friction material: Uses a specialised metallic-ceramic compound to deliver high torque transmission capacity and resistance to fade, helping prevent clutch slip in high-power applications.
• Increased heat soak capacity: Features thicker friction pads that absorb and dissipate more heat, reducing the risk of clutch overheating and improving reliability in demanding conditions.
• Higher heat dissipation: The plate is engineered to manage repeated thermal cycles without degradation, which maintains consistent engagement and extends service life under continuous load.
• Direct replacement fitment: Designed to match OEM dimensions for straightforward installation, allowing you to upgrade without the need for custom modifications or adaptors.
• Sprung or rigid centre options: Available in sprung centre for reduced driveline chatter with single mass flywheels, or rigid centre for direct response with dual mass or competition setups.
• High RPM durability: Built to withstand elevated engine speeds without structural compromise, making it suitable for use in high-revving, performance-focused builds.
• Multiple paddle configurations: Offered in 3, 4, 5 or 6-paddle layouts to balance engagement characteristics, with more paddles delivering smoother operation for improved drivability in road use.
• Compatible with uprated clutch covers: When paired with a Helix uprated cover, the drive plate reaches its full torque handling potential, making it a reliable choice for demanding applications.

Tuning an engine to produce more power and torque often leads to clutch slip, especially when using standard components that can’t cope with the increased load. The Helix cerametallic paddle drive plate uses robust friction materials to maintain grip under high torque conditions, preventing power loss through clutch fade. Its heat capacity and durability make it particularly effective in sustained high-temperature environments, such as track use or fast road driving. Fitting a matching Helix uprated clutch cover allows the drive plate to operate at full capacity, ensuring dependable performance throughout the rev range.

Fit the Helix paddle clutch drive plate to gain a reliable solution for high torque transmission in tuned or competition cars. Its proven construction offers dependable engagement and thermal stability when you need it most.

Please note: The quoted torque capacity is when used with a Helix uprated clutch cover. Ensure that the quoted clutch diameter and spline size matches your existing clutch before ordering.
