PLT,FRICTION,(TANGED),(OD) – Bell Heavy Equipment Friction Plate

Product Overview

The Bell Friction Plate (Tanged, OD) is a precision-engineered engine component designed to maintain proper clutch engagement and torque transfer within heavy equipment drivetrain systems. As a critical wear component, this friction plate ensures smooth, controlled power delivery while withstanding the high-stress demands of continuous heavy-duty operation.

Key Benefits

• Reliable Torque Transfer: The tanged outer diameter (OD) design provides a secure, positive engagement within the clutch pack, minimizing slippage and maintaining consistent power transfer under load.
• Extended Service Life: Manufactured to Bell OEM specifications, this friction plate is built to resist heat buildup and wear, helping to prolong the overall lifespan of surrounding drivetrain components.
• Reduced Downtime: Using a correctly spec'd replacement friction plate helps prevent premature component failure, keeping your equipment operational and reducing costly unplanned maintenance intervals.

Features, Specifications & Maintenance Importance

This Bell friction plate features a tanged OD configuration that locks securely into the clutch housing, ensuring accurate positioning and consistent performance across demanding work cycles. The friction material is engineered to maintain its integrity under elevated operating temperatures common in heavy engine applications. Timely replacement of worn friction plates is essential — a degraded plate can lead to clutch slippage, excessive heat generation, and accelerated wear on adjacent components, ultimately resulting in more extensive and expensive repairs. Staying current with friction plate inspections and replacements is a straightforward way to protect the long-term reliability of your Bell equipment.
