Causes and Solutions of Agricultural Clutch Slipping

Agricultural clutch slipping means that the clutch cannot transmit power normally during the working process, resulting in a mismatch between the engine speed and the transmission device or a decrease in transmission efficiency. Here are common causes of farm clutch slippage and possible solutions

Reason

Friction plate wear: After a long period of use, the clutch friction plate will wear out and lose friction, causing the clutch to fail to transmit power normally.

Solution:

Replace the severely worn clutch friction plate to ensure that it has enough friction to transmit power.

Insufficient pressure plate spring force: The film spring behind the clutch pressure plate loses its elasticity and cannot provide enough pressure, causing the clutch to slip.

Solution: Check and replace the damaged film spring to ensure that it has enough elasticity and pressure to maintain tight contact between the pressure plate and the flywheel.

Oil pollution or insufficient lubrication: the surface of clutch parts is polluted by oil or lacks proper lubrication, which reduces friction and causes slippage.

Solution: Clean the clutch components and make sure they are lubricated with the proper lubricant to provide good frictional properties.

Improper clutch adjustment: The clutch is adjusted too loosely or too tightly, resulting in the clutch not working properly.

Solution: Perform clutch adjustments according to the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure proper contact and friction between the clutch pressure plate and the flywheel.

Damage or failure of clutch components: Damage or failure of clutch components such as the pressure plate, flywheel or release mechanism may cause the clutch to slip.

Solution: Check and replace damaged or faulty clutch parts to ensure that the clutch system is working properly.

It is important to note that troubleshooting agricultural clutch slippage may require technical expertise and proper tools, and it is recommended that repairs or component replacements be performed under the guidance of an experienced technician. In addition, regular maintenance and maintenance of the clutch system is also an important measure to prevent slippage problems.
