Arctic Cat Team Boss Driven Clutch Spring 155/220 Force Pounds - 210493-005
For 2016 Arctic Cat Snowmobiles
For the Rapid Reaction drive clutch, Arctic Cat and TEAM partnered to design a more durable clutch, with smoother shifting, reduced weight (by 0.25-lb.) and improved performance (including more consistent performance, particularly after long term use). The new design is also rebuildable, meaning no more throw away clutches!
Key to this new clutch is a steel spider. TEAM started this project with an aluminum spider design, but it didn’t meet the group’s requirements for durability. A switch to steel delivered significant increases in yield and fatigue strength compared to previous clutches. It’s cavernous design (the result of both FEA computer whiz-bang as well as field testing) delivered a robust design with decreased wall thickness to hit the goals for low weight.
The TEAM BOSS Rapid Response driven clutch is equally impressive in its design and focus on quality, featuring machined sheaves that mount directly to the machined-matched driven shaft.
On the BOSS system, the movable sheave (the sheave that moves to allow the belt to move lower into the clutch) slides on the driven shaft, rather than on a separate steel post that’s built into traditional driven clutches. The result: a 0.25-lb. weight reduction and quicker acceleration.
The area of the driven shaft on which the clutch slides/moves is polished for improved performance and increased bearing life. The shaft itself is larger diameter than traditional shafts.
Arctic Cat hinted that there are further, future weight savings made possible by the new system. They didn't say it, but one could imagine a gun-drilled shaft sometime in the future that sheds even more weight.
Combined with optimized cooling fin geometry, the changes to the drive system deliver a 20-degree reduction in clutch and belt temperatures for improved belt life and performance.
