Preface
This standard is the revised version of QC/T 27-1992.
From the date of implementation, this standard shall replace QC/T 27-1992.
Compared with QC/T 27-1992, the main technical differences of this standard are as follows.
-- Adjust the requirements on the sliding friction torque and heat load of the clutch;
-- Add the requirements on the sliding friction coefficient and requirements on lid assembly static
release durability.
This standard was proposed by Auto Industry Committee of China.
This standard shall be under the jurisdiction of Auto Standardization Technical Committee.
Drafting organizations of this standard. Changchun Auto Research Institute, Shanghai Clutch General
Factory (now renamed as Shanghai Sachs Powertrain Components Systems Co., Ltd.), Nanjing Valeo
Clutch Co., Ltd., Changchun Yidong Clutch Co., Ltd., and Sanhuan Group Huangshi Auto Clutch Co.,
Ltd.
The main drafters this standard. Yan Shidong, Chen Xiang, Yuan Nianshi, Song Shundong, and Yuan
Hongquan.
