LUK clutch is a sub-brand of the German Schaeffler Group, a globally renowned manufacturer and supplier of precision equipment such as engines and transmissions. In addition to the LUK brand, the Schaeffler Group also owns the INA and FAG brands, with significant research achievements in engines, chassis applications, and transmissions, making it one of Germany's family-owned enterprises. The new dry dual-clutch transmission (DSG) used by Volkswagen was researched and manufactured by LUK. The application of this clutch improves fuel economy and ride comfort. The working principle of this clutch is: two transmissions separately control odd and even gears, with the entire process managed by an electro-hydraulic control mechanism, enabling faster and smoother gear shifts and reducing hesitation during gear changes.
