SACHS RCS 200 Clutch Housing 003072000421
Forged clutch housing for SACHS RCS 200 racing clutches
The SACHS RCS 200 clutch housing 003072000421 is the central support structure for modular RCS 200 multi-plate racing clutches. It accommodates the pressure plate, intermediate plates and clutch discs, guides the components precisely and transfers torque within the SACHS Racing Clutch System.
The forged aluminium version is designed for high mechanical and thermal loads in motorsport. It combines low weight, reduced inertia, high housing rigidity and robust performance for reproducible clutch function in racing use.
Versions
Part number: 003072000421
System: SACHS RCS 200 multi-plate racing clutch
Release diameter: 49 mm
Friction materials: sintered metal and organic clutch linings
Component: clutch housing for SACHS RCS 200 racing clutches
Note: the clutch housing must be combined specifically for the series with approved RCS 200 pressure plates, intermediate plates and clutch discs. Selection is based on clutch version, number of discs, friction pack and application profile.

Technology
RCS 200 clutch housing
Function: The SACHS RCS 200 clutch housing 003072000421 accommodates the pressure plate, intermediate plates and clutch discs, guides the components precisely and transfers torque within the modular RCS system. The high housing rigidity supports defined modulation, stable component positioning and repeatable shift operations.
Design: High-strength forged aluminium with series-specific RCS 200 geometry. The forging process increases load capacity and enables a lightweight, torsionally rigid design with reduced moment of inertia.
Friction materials: The clutch housing is intended for SACHS RCS 200 clutch systems with sintered metal and organic clutch linings. The combination of housing, pressure plate, intermediate plates and clutch discs must be selected to match the approved clutch configuration.
Clamping force: In combination with the pressure plate, diaphragm spring, intermediate plates and clutch discs, the clutch housing contributes to precisely defined clamping force. This supports repeatable torque transfer and consistent engagement behaviour in motorsport use.
Coating: The full-surface, extremely wear-resistant aluminium coating reduces friction and fitting wear, protects against corrosion and improves the service life of the clutch housing in racing use.
Thermal management: The special housing geometry supports efficient heat dissipation and stabilises the temperature window of the clutch pack – especially important with short shift windows, high engine speeds and repeated thermal load.
Installation notes
Installation & flywheel
Flywheel contour: The flywheel contour must be checked when using the SACHS RCS 200 racing clutch. Precise machining of the flywheel is a prerequisite for clutch function, runout accuracy and long-term performance.
Housing selection: Before installation, check whether the clutch housing 003072000421 matches the exact SACHS RCS 200 clutch configuration. The decisive factors are the number of discs, friction material, friction pack thickness, pressure plate, intermediate plates and the approved installation height of the clutch pack.
Fastening: M8 socket-head screws of at least strength class 10.9 with washers are recommended for fastening the clutch. The tightening torque is 25 Nm.
Overhaul: Check housing guides, contact surfaces, coating and fits regularly. In case of wear, damage or impermissible play, assess adjacent components together to ensure clamping force, torque transfer and shift precision permanently.
