Magnetic clutch
VALEO TM08, TM13, TM15 & TM16 are available either as a compressor and magnetic clutch assembly or as a
compressor body that customers can fit with compatible magnetic clutches. The magnetic clutch design Valeo
has been promoting for more than 20 years is now gradually adopted by other major market actors.
Our compressors and magnetic clutches have successfully passed the thousand hours of long validation tests
in Valeo Compressors research center laboratory. Operational excellence was demonstrated during hot season
testing on field under challenging climates in the most stressful conditions.
Being able to rely on our robust magnetic clutch provides the best way to reduce fuel consumption without
using additional unloading devices that decrease significantly the efficiency and durability of the compressor.
The range of Valeo magnetic clutches ensures an unmatched reliability and the longest durability that perfectly
matches the Valeo TM08, TM13, TM15 & TM16 compressor qualities.
