Stage 2 - ER_ OC

Mantic Stage 2 Clutch Kits feature an organic / cerametallic clutch plate (OC) for improved torque capacity (over Stage 1) whilst retaining excellent driveability.

Stage 2 is the perfect balance for a serious vehicle upgrade to your daily drive.

Mantic Stage 2 Clutch Kits feature the patented ER_ Groove Design CNC machined into the cover assembly pressure plate. Coupled with a 20% increase in clamp load, the torque capacity of Mantic Stage 2 kits are significantly higher than OEM specifications.

All Mantic Clutch Kits include an SG Iron pressure plate with 3x the burst strength of traditional clutch kits to ensure they can handle extreme centrifugal forces of performance applications.

The ER_ groove has been specifically designed to increase the Mean Effective Radius of the pressure plate and assist in heat removal. The increase in the Mean Effective Radius of the Cover Assembly gives an increase in Torque Capacity by up to 8%. Mean Effective Radius is directly proportional to Torque capacity.

By adding the groove to the Pressure Plate, the inside radius of the friction face has effectively been increased. The first 5/16 inches of the pressure plate has all but been removed and added to this, there is progressively less material removed as the radius increases. The net effect of this is to move the effective inside radius further out. When comparing the Mean Effective Radius (Rm) of the ER_ version to the non ER_ version you can see the ER_ version is further out. This increases the Torque Capacity of the clutch. Torque Capacity is directly related to Rm.

If you require higher torque capacity but still drive your vehicle every day, please check out our Stage 3 range. For track or motorsport use, please refer Stage 4 or 5.

The Torque Capacity advantage of the ER_

The Pressure Plate grooves increase Mean Effective Radius by 8%. As Torque is directly proportional to Mean Effective Radius this means the Torque Capacity is also increased by 8%. Using CI's in house Dynamometer the Torque capacity was measured for a Non ER_ Pressure Plate vs an ER_ Pressure Plate.

The formula for calculating the Torque is: Torque = Force x Distance or T = F x Rm For a Clutch the Force is dependant on the Coefficient of Friction: Force = Coefficient of Friction x Clamp load or F = _ x N. (Note there are 2 friction faces so for a Clutch F = 2 x _ x N)
