Clutch Construction with Components

A clutch consists of several key components: the clutch disc, pressure plate, flywheel, and release bearing. The clutch disc is sandwiched between the pressure plate and the flywheel. When engaged, the pressure plate applies pressure to the clutch disc, allowing power transfer. When disengaged, the pressure is released, interrupting the power flow.

 

Material of Clutch Pressure Plate

 

The geometry of the clutch pressure plate is complex and requires good heat transfer, high coefficient of friction and wear resistance. It is therefore usually cast from gray cast iron HT200. The metal structure is a pearlite structure, and the hardness is HB170-227. In addition, a small amount of metal elements (nickel, iron, manganese alloy, etc.) can be added to increase mechanical strength.

 

Types of Clutch Pressure Plate

 

 

Borg and Beck
Borg and Beck pressure plates are commonly found on older GM, Chrysler, and some AMC Models. These pressure plates use multiple coil springs actuated by three 1 inch wide levers to engage and disengage the clutch. Borg and Beck pressure plates have only a preset, or static amount of pressure to clamp to the flywheel.

 

Long
The Long style clutch pressure plate is commonly found in older Ford muscle cars and trucks and is the basis for many modern drag race clutches. It has 3 levers that actuate multiple coil springs to engage and disengage the clutch. The levers are weighted and provide added centrifugal pressure as rpms increase. This adds to the static pressure of the coil springs allowing the long style clutch to hold more power.

 

Diaphragm
A diaphragm clutch is commonly found in late model vehicles and as an upgrade for both previous types. The diaphragm style pressure plate utilizes a one-piece Bellville, or diaphragm spring. The Bellville spring allows for a relatively light pedal effort and smoother engagement compared to both the Borg and Beck and Long types.

Installation Position of the Car Clutch Pressure Plate

 

The car clutch pressure plate is mounted on the flywheel of the truck engine, which is a very important component because without it, the power of the truck engine would not be transmitted to the transmission. The clutch is the truck's driveline, which connects the engine to the transmission and can also disconnects the engine from the transmission. Clutch plate is under the car clutch pressure plate, and the former has a spline in the middle which can fix a transmission shaft. The transmission shaft is the transmission of the power input shaft.

 

When the truck driver presses down on the clutch pedal, the clutch disconnects, at which point power from the engine cannot be transferred to the transmission. When the truck driver lifts the clutch pedal, the clutch is connected, and power from the engine is transferred to the transmission. With the increase of truck driving distance, the auto clutch plate will gradually wear, when it wears to a certain extent, it needs to be replaced. If the auto clutch plate appears excessive wear phenomenon, slipped phenomenon occurs and then the engine cannot transfer all the power to the transmission.

 

How to Choose Clutch Plate Design

Before sourcing clutch plates for resale, ensure they meet the target market's needs. Here are some factors to consider:

 

Vehicle Suitability
It is important to choose a clutch plate design that is compatible with the car's make, model, and year of production. Not all vehicles have the same clutch system. For example, some cars have a pull-type system, while others have a push-type system. Mismatched plates will cause slippage and frequent breakdowns.

 

Driving Conditions
Consider the driving environment. Is it city traffic, highway, or off-road? In heavy traffic, a clutch plate with a tougher friction material is needed to withstand frequent engagements. For hilly terrains or loading trucks, a larger clutch plate size with better heat dissipation is required.

 

Performance Expectations
Decide the level of performance required from the clutch. Do customers want a smooth drive, or are they looking for high-performance racing clutches? High-performance plates give quick engagement and disengagement, translating to better power delivery. However, they may cause more wear and tear over time.

 

Quality and Reliability
Source clutch plates from reputable manufacturers that adhere to international standards. Quality plates undergo rigorous testing and have warranties. Customers will associate the clutch's durability with the brand.

 

Budget
Clutch plates come in a wide range of prices. High-quality and custom plates tend to cost more. However, they provide value to end users. While it is tempting to buy cheap plates, they may not last. Therefore, compare the quality and pricing of different suppliers on Alibaba.com.

 

Installation
Some clutch plates are easier to install than others. For example, single-mass flywheels are simpler compared to dual-mass flywheels. Dual-mass flywheels have complex mechanisms that absorb shocks but require skilled technicians. If most clients prefer DIY installations, source plates that come with detailed installation manuals.

 

Future Maintenance
Choose a clutch plate design that requires minimal maintenance. Discuss with the supplier about the expected lifespan of the plate. Also, find out if the manufacturer provides after-sales services and spare parts for repairs.

 

 
FAQ
 

Q: What are the two types of clutch pressure plates?

A: Clutch pressure plate parts are roughly divided into two types: those with coil springs and those with diaphragm springs.

Q: Can a clutch pressure plate be repaired?

A: Can a worn clutch be fixed? It depends on the extent of the wear. Minor wear can sometimes be adjusted, but if the clutch plate is excessively worn or damaged, it usually needs to be replaced.

Q: How much does a brand new clutch cost?

A: A clutch kit generally costs between £150 – £500 and includes a pressure plate, drive plate and release bearing. This doesn't include labour. Other costs to consider include oil, liquid and minor parts which can add on between £20 – £100 to the final cost.

Q: What is the best material for a clutch lining?

A: Your clutch lining material will be Organic, Ceramic, Kevlar or Feramalloy. Organic is the choice of most OEMs. Organic offers durability, smooth engagement and are gentle on matting surfaces.

Q: What are the torque specs for a clutch pressure plate?

A: 65 ft/lbs for flywheel. 25 ft/lbs for pressure plate.

Q: Are clutch pressure plates balanced?

A: If you bought new. Flywheel and pressure plate are usually balanced together. RPM should not make a change in weight balancing. Of course they should come balanced from the factory.

Q: Does clutch plate affect speed?

A: A worn-out clutch means that the engine is not able to transmit its power correctly to the gearbox. This would result in lower acceleration and speed for any given increase in engine speed, resulting in lower mileage.

Q: How many km to change clutch plate?

A: Manual transmission cars are extremely fun to drive as there is an understanding between the driver and the car created by shifting the gears. The shift becomes another part of the body for the driver. Nevertheless, clutch replacement is necessary after every 40,000km to 100,000km or more, depending on various factors.

Q: Can clutch plate affect mileage?

A: A worn out clutch wears the engine oil 5 times faster and then due to poor acceleration and worn out engine oil, the mileage falls .

Q: Why is my clutch vibrating?

A: Discs sometimes lose their shape and friction if they overheat too much and too often. If these parts lose their shape, then they wobble about as they turn. Your clutch can't get a completely engaged grip on them. It jolts about and sends vibrations through to your pedal.
