The DME Racing Air Clutch Buffer Can is a precision-engineered surge suppressor explicitly designed for aftermarket air-assisted clutch systems. Built to ensure consistent and stable air pressure, this component eliminates unwanted pressure spikes or “surges” that can cause erratic clutch behavior—helping racers achieve smooth, consistent runs down the track. Features CNC-machined aluminum construction Equipped with (3) 1/8” female NPT bungs Available with or without mounting tabs Dimensions: 2.5″ x 2″ x 2″ Weight: 4 oz. How It Works Air-assisted clutch systems are common in high-performance drag racing setups, where compressed air is used to control clutch engagement through a button or delay box. During rapid pressure changes, fluctuations from the compressor or tank can disrupt clutch operation, leading to inconsistent releases and lost time at the starting line. The Buffer Can acts as a miniature secondary air reservoir, positioned close to the clutch’s air cylinder. By storing a small amount of pressurized air, it stabilizes flow and smooths out pressure pulses before they reach the actuator. The result? A more consistent, predictable clutch release for razor-sharp launches. Performance Advantages Stabilizes Air Pressure: Maintains steady, reliable pressure in your air clutch system. Eliminates Pulses & Surges: Smooths out pressure fluctuations that can affect launch consistency. Improves Launch Consistency: Delivers a repeatable clutch release for better ETs and more reliable performance. Compact, Durable Design: Lightweight yet strong—built to handle the demands of professional drag racing.
