The pressure plate of the agricultural clutch is an important part of the clutch system, which is used to connect and disconnect the power transmission between the engine and the transmission. The following is a detailed explanation of the definition and structure of the agricultural clutch pressure plate:
Definition
The pressure plate of the agricultural clutch is a disc-shaped component that is mounted on the flywheel and operates through the clutch to connect and disconnect the power transmission between the engine and the transmission.
Structure
Platen cover: The platen usually consists of a flat disc-shaped cover, usually made of a metallic material such as steel. It is in intimate contact with the flywheel and pressure is applied by a pressure device to ensure a good frictional contact.
Friction plate: The friction surface of the pressure plate is usually covered with a friction material, such as a friction plate. Friction linings typically consist of a friction material (usually friction lining layers) and a support material (such as a metal plate). The friction surface of the friction plate is in contact with the friction surface of the flywheel to realize power transmission.
Spring and piston: On the back of the pressure plate, there is usually a pressure device consisting of a set of springs and pistons. The function of the spring and the piston is to apply enough pressure to make the pressure plate in close contact with the flywheel and ensure proper friction between the friction plate and the friction surface of the flywheel.
Release bearing (if applicable): Some agricultural clutch pressure plates may have a release bearing on them. The release bearing is used to separate the pressure plate and flywheel during clutch operation to disconnect power transmission.
The function of the pressure plate is to transmit the power of the engine to the transmission device through the friction contact between the friction plate and the flywheel, and to connect and disconnect the power transmission through the control of the pressure device when the clutch is operated. By applying proper pressure and friction, the pressure plate achieves smooth clutch operation, providing reliable power transmission and operational control.
WEEYH is jointly formed by China's top agricultural machinery parts factories, focusing on the R&D and production of agricultural machinery parts. About 200,000 sets of agricultural machinery related parts are produced by WEEYH'S factories and sent to the world every year.
We have a top testing laboratory, from material analysis to finished product inspection, each link has a corresponding testing process. More than 30 kinds of testing equipment have built the guarantee of WEEYH safety.
