    Clutch Materials

    Clutch plates consist of a steel plate with a central hub and annular friction facings attached by rivets and resin. There are several types of clutch plate friction materials including woven, moulded or compression, and mill board types. Woven types use cloth impregnated with binders in either a woven or wound formation. Moulded types mix asbestos fibers and binders then mold and set with pressure. Mill board types use asbestos sheets treated with impregnates that are cut into facing discs. Common organic friction materials for clutch facings include leather, cork, fabric and asbestos which have different coefficients of friction, with Reybestos and Ferodo being most suitable.

    Clutch plate consist of steel plate with a central hub and

    the annular friction facings are attached to the steel


    plate by rivets & special resins. Following are the
    different types of clutch plate friction materials.
    Woven Type
    Moulded or Compression type
    Mill board type
    Woven type - This type consists of a cloth impregnated
    with certain binders. The cloth may either be woven like
    ordinary cloth with wrap and weft or by winding the fibres
    in circumferential direction only.

    In the solid woven variety, the cloth is woven just to the
    required thickness. In the case of laminated variety, the
    layers of cloth one upon the other are held together by a
    binder.
    Moulded type: This is made by mixing asbestos fibres
    with a suitable binding material, heating to a certain
    well defined temperature and then moulding in dies
    under pressure metallic wires are also sometimes
    inserted to improve wearing qualities.

     Mill board type: This is only asbestos sheet treated


    with certain impregnates. From this sheet are then the
    facing discs cut according to different size
    requirements. This is the cheapest available type but is
    quite satisfactory.
    Organic friction materials are the most common types of
    clutch facing materials;
    Leather: Dry leather on iron has co-efficient of friction of
    0.27
    Cork: Cork on dry steel or iron has co-efficient of friction
    of 0.32
    Fabric: Good quality fabric materials have co-efficient of
    friction about 0.4. But they cannot be used at high
    temperature.
    Asbestos: Asbestos facings have co-efficient of friction of
    about 0.2. However, it has got anti heat characteristics.
    Reybestos and Ferodo: These have a co-efficient of
    friction of about 0.35 and are most suitable as friction
    facings. They are almost universally used for clutch facings.
    For more severe applications sintered metal friction
    material is sometimes used because it can
    withstand higher temperatures. However its
    disadvantage:' is that it tends to weld itself to the
    mating pressure plate and flywheel surfaces at high
    temperatures.
    For very heavy vehicles operating under extreme
    conditions, combined metal-ceramic friction material
    can be used.
    However these materials are satisfactory only when
    operating under very high temperatures rather than
    under light duty and low temperature when they tend
    to have an abrasive action on the mating plate surfaces.
