{Chrysler 300} A/C Clutch different designs



Interesting…

 

I pulled the A/C clutch off the 300K yesterday. This is obviously a reman unit as it has part of a reman sticker on it.

 

This unit seems to have the coil ON THE PULLY and spins with it. It has a little rubber pickup that bolts to the side of the compressor housing with two contact points that slide on a copper ring on the unit.  This is different that the core I picked up.

 

The core has a magnet that bolts to the front of the A/C housing and does not move.

 

Can anyone enlighten me as to the reason or and quality issues of the two designs?

 

One thing that I noted is that the unit with the coil that spins is MUCH heavier than the other. I wonder about the clutch housing bearing as well as the front bearing on the compressor with all that weight spinning around. I also would suspect that the heavier unit would rob more power from the engine.

 

Interesting.
