The Haldex clutch is based on the principle of a
simple wet clutch that distributes the torque variably
between the front and rear axles.
Three components are linked within the Haldex
clutch:• A mechanical component, comprising input and
output shafts, the plate assembly (clutch) as
well as the cam plate and the roller bearing.
• A hydraulic component, essentially comprising pressure valves, a pressure accumulator, the
control valve, the ring pistons and a fluid filter.
• The electronic control comprises the electric fluid pump and the all-wheel drive control unit
with integrated pressure/temperature sensor
and an actuator motor for the control valve.

Drive
The hydraulic fluid is drawn from the sump of the
hydraulic system and directed through a filter. The
feed pump pressurises the system and pumps
hydraulic fluid into the pump plungers. This base
pressure of 4 bar presses the rollers for the pump
plungers against the cam disc. At the same time,
hydraulic fluid flows into the working piston. This
eliminates the play in the clutch plates. The Haldex
clutch can respond quickly and distribute the torque
within fractions of a second. The spring force in
the pressure accumulator determines the base pressure of 4 bar and compensates pressure
fluctuations. A compensating spring works in the
opposite direction and prevents the plate discs
becoming blocked by the force of the working
piston. This restricts the transferable torque to
approx. 7 Nm. This value can, however, deviate
slightly due to temperature and/or the difference
in speed between the input and output shafts.
