Replacement Compressor Clutch for
Chrysler Automobiles
This compressor clutch has been developed
specifically for automobile air conditioning
applications. Properly installed, it will provide
maintenance free service. The clutch, using a
stationary field principle, DOES NOT REQUIRE
SLIP RINGS OR BRUSHES.
The clutch consists of two major components,
a stationary magnet field assembly and a
rotor-pulley assembly. The field assembly is
mounted on the compressor. The rotor-pulley
assembly is mounted to the compressor
crankshaft and driven by V-belts from the engine
crankshaft pulley. Electricity energizes the clutch
field to couple the clutch magnetically, thus
driving the compressor. De-energizing the clutch
uncouples the compressor.
Service
This compressor clutch automatically
compensates for wear requiring no adjustment
throughout the life of the clutch. Do not
lubricate the unit. If the clutch should fail to
operate, check the electrical circuit to be sure
that the proper voltage is being supplied to the
clutch. Do not attempt to make any mechanical
adjustments on the clutch.
Diagnose Clutch Failure
Most compressor clutch failures are a direct
result of an A/C system problem or failure.
Before installing a new clutch, determine what
caused the old clutch to fail and fix the system
problem. By simply replacing the clutch without
fixing the cause of the clutch failure, the new
clutch may fail in the same manner as the old
clutch. Please refer to the Warner Electric “Air
Conditioning Clutch Trouble Shooting Guide”
and the appropriate manufacturer’s A/C Service
Manuals.
