Clutch Disc / Clutch Plate – CD-48027

The clutch is a mechanism that transmits power by axially compressing and releasing two clutch friction plates with flat surfaces. The greater the axial pressure of its two clutch plates, the greater the friction generated, and the smoother and more normal the operation of the extruder will be. Under normal operating conditions, the machine generally runs smoothly and noiselessly; under rated load, the clutch plate will not slip, get stuck, or detach on its own; at the same time, after the clutch plate is separated, it should be disengaged completely to stop the brick machine from running, without causing other noise or incomplete separation of the two clutch plates. Therefore, the clutch plate gap in the clutch must be adjusted. A large gap will cause the clutch plate to slip and damage the clutch plate. A small gap will make it difficult for the clutch plate to separate easily. In addition to improper clearance, the following reasons should be noted for the clutch plate slipping and incomplete separation:
a. The pressure between the clutch plate and the driven wheel and the inner and outer pressure plates is not enough, so that the clutch plate is not pressed tightly and causes slipping. If the gap is not adjusted well, check whether the surfaces of the intermediate pressure plate and the push plate are flat and damaged. Generally, their contact surface should reach more than 80% to ensure that the two clutch plates are in normal contact and will not slip during operation. Otherwise, you must consider replacing the intermediate pressure plate or push plate and other parts. Avoid clutch plate burnout and other parts deformation and damage.
b. Incorrect assembly may also easily lead to the contact surface failing to meet more than 80% of the requirements when the clutch plate is joined with other parts. At this time, the clutch plate will also be worn or broken. Therefore, it is required that the flatness of each component should be carefully checked during assembly, and concentricity should also be observed during trial operation to avoid wear of the centering pressure plate and the inner ring gear.
c. If the clutch plate is found to be severely worn, cracked, scorched, or broken during operation, it must not be operated while it is sick. The machine should be stopped in time to check each component to see if it needs to be replaced or repaired.
d. When purchasing a clutch plate, you must pay attention to the quality of the clutch plate. The surface of the clutch plate must not be deformed, warped, or have poor tightness. This will not only cause the clutch to slip, cause production to stop, but also cause damage to other parts.
e. When the inner ring gear of the clutch is seriously damaged, the operating force of the clutch plate is inconsistent, tight and loose, and the offset angle is too large, which causes the clutch plate to be poorly combined and affects the normal operation of the clutch plate. It is easy to slip and burn the clutch plate and other components. At this time, the inner ring gear should be replaced in time.
f. The mud is too dry or too much, and there are hard objects stuck in the brick machine, which increases the load on the clutch of the brick machine, causing the clutch plate to wear or break. For example, a certain factory’s wheel kiln requires the mud to be dry during the production process, which often causes the clutch plate to be broken. Therefore, the dryness and humidity of the mud must be well controlled during the production process.
g. There should be no grease, sludge, etc. on the clutch plate. When assembling the clutch plate, be sure to check and remove these debris, otherwise it will cause the clutch to slip and affect work efficiency.
