Flexplate for Demag AC80-1

The flexplate, part number 978 341 73, functions as the mechanical interface between the engine and the transmission system in the Demag AC80-1 all-terrain crane. It mounts to the engine crankshaft and bolts to the torque converter, facilitating the transfer of engine torque to the transmission input shaft. By providing a flexible connection, the component accommodates minor misalignments and helps manage the rotational forces generated during engine operation.

This component is specifically engineered for fitment in the Demag AC80-1 model. It is designed to meet the mechanical requirements of the drivetrain configuration for this crane. Proper installation ensures the alignment between the engine and the transmission is maintained, which is necessary for the operation of the drivetrain.

A flexplate is a standard component in heavy machinery equipped with automatic transmissions or torque converters. Its primary role is to provide a mounting surface for the torque converter while allowing for the necessary thermal expansion and contraction of the drivetrain components during operation. By serving as a bridge in the power train, it ensures that rotational energy is transmitted from the engine to the transmission assembly.
