Explaining the new offerings, Mr. Debasish Satpathy, Vice President, Automotive Aftermarket, Schaeffler India, said: “Indian tractor market has seen tremendous growth in the last few years, on the back of rising inclination of farmers towards high powered tractors to increase productivity. Schaeffler recognises the crucial requirement of tractors to ensure consistent performance while operating round the clock on the fields. These tractors parts & service solution require long service life and cost effectiveness as they are designed to meet the special demands of agricultural businesses. The noise and vibration reducing attributes of these components by LuK ensures a consistently smooth drive, while guaranteeing better damping characteristics at all engine speeds.”
He further added: “Being the innovator of LuK double clutch, Schaeffler Automotive Aftermarket provides an intelligent solution for the replacement of tractor clutches. Its unique design utilizes the latest clutch technology for improved cooling & heat dispersal. Also, it increases service life due to an extended wear reserve of the internal diaphragm spring and extra safety feature in PTO clutch.”
For the tractor segment, identifying the right spare part can often be a tricky and time-consuming task. In many cases, it is difficult to determine what parts are needed until the removal of the old clutch. In addition, complex links and a number of possible part combinations makes the job even more challenging. All this information or data cannot be fitted into a single document, thereby Schaeffler’s Automotive Aftermarket division has derived a way to collect the large amount of data, processes it and then successfully transfers it into a catalogue (www.repxpert.com) & mobile application format (Parts4U). This makes identifying the right parts easy, fast and precise.
