Is it easy to replace the clutch plate of the Besturn B50?
1 Answers
Replacing the clutch plate in a car is relatively complex and typically takes about three to four hours. Introduction to Clutch Plates: A clutch plate is a composite material primarily designed for friction, with additional structural performance requirements. Automotive friction materials are mainly used to manufacture brake pads and clutch plates. These friction materials traditionally use asbestos-based compositions, but with increasing environmental and safety requirements, semi-metallic friction materials, composite fiber friction materials, and ceramic fiber friction materials have gradually emerged. Clutch Plate Manufacturing Process: The process involves a calendering and rubberizing technique. Non-asbestos fiber threads are first impregnated in resin, then in a rubber solution, and dried. After calendering and rubberizing, the threads are formed into strips, wound, and then hot-pressed into shape, followed by further heat treatment. The plates then undergo grinding, dust removal, and marking before final inspection and packaging. Alternatively, the impregnation and drying tower process can be used. The simplified process involves impregnating non-asbestos fiber threads in resin and rubber solution, drying and winding them, hot-pressing them into shape, and conducting further heat treatment. Grinding, dust removal, and marking follow, with final inspection and packaging.
