The separation friction plate is a key component that forms part of the clutch system within the travel motor.
This clutch system is responsible for controlling the engagement and disengagement of the motor's output shaft with the machine's track or wheel, allowing the operator to control the excavator's movement. The separation friction plate acts as a crucial intermediary between the hydraulic system and the mechanical drive system.
These separation friction plates are designed with precision to meet the specific requirements of the GM17, GM18, and GM35VL excavator travel motors. They are engineered to ensure optimal performance and longevity. These plates are typically constructed from high-quality materials, such as steel or other friction-resistant alloys, to withstand the substantial forces and heat generated during operation.
The specifications of the separation friction plate are as follows:
Material: High-strength and heat-resistant materials are used to ensure the plate can endure the high levels of friction and heat generated during operation without wearing out prematurely. These materials may include steel alloys or composite materials.
Size: The size and dimensions of the separation friction plate are designed to fit precisely within the travel motor's clutch assembly.
It should be compatible with the GM17, GM18, and GM35VL models, ensuring a seamless fit.
Friction Surface: The friction surface of the plate is engineered to provide the necessary grip and friction required for the clutch engagement. This friction surface is often treated or coated to enhance its durability and performance.
Heat Resistance: Given the high levels of heat generated during operation, the separation friction plate must be capable of withstanding these conditions without losing its frictional properties or experiencing thermal deformation.
Durability: The plate is designed to be highly durable, ensuring a long service life and minimal maintenance requirements. This is critical for the reliability and cost-effectiveness of the excavator.
Compatibility: The separation friction plate should be designed specifically for use in GM17, GM18, and GM35VL excavator travel motors, ensuring that it fits seamlessly into the machine's existing components.
