Clamping force from the clutch pressure plates must evenly press the clutch disc against the flywheel surface. Uneven force causes clutch slip and uneven wear on the flywheel.
Diaphragm springs control load distribution with precision to ensure proper flywheel engagement. Spring finger stiffness and material properties affect how pressure transfers to the flywheel. Machined surfaces ensure consistent contact with the flywheel for smooth power transfer.
Heat generated during clutch engagement transfers to both the clutch pressure plates and flywheel. Materials must resist thermal deformation to maintain clutch-to-flywheel contact geometry. Steel alloys with stable microstructure at high temperatures prevent distortion of the flywheel interface. Ventilation features in the pressure plate improve cooling of the flywheel contact area. Controlled heat treatment prevents warping of both components during repeated thermal cycles.
Repeated clutch use causes cyclic stresses in the pressure plate and flywheel interface. Stress concentrations on spring fingers are minimized to protect the flywheel surface from uneven load. Finite element analysis optimizes spring design to reduce impact on the flywheel. Shot peening enhances fatigue strength, preserving spring function and flywheel engagement. Proper stress management extends the service life of both the clutch pressure plates and flywheel.

Frigate uses advanced finite element analysis to design diaphragm springs with optimal tension profiles. This process minimizes stress concentrations and ensures consistent clamping force during operation. Each spring undergoes precise manufacturing and heat treatment to maintain its mechanical properties. Quality control checks verify that spring tension matches design specifications before assembly.
Frigate applies controlled quenching and tempering heat treatments to alloy steel pressure plates. These treatments enhance the material’s hardness and reduce thermal deformation risks under high clutch temperatures. Surface coatings are applied to enhance corrosion resistance and improve thermal conductivity. This combination helps maintain dimensional stability and clutch performance over time.
Frigate maintains tight machining tolerances on pressure plates to ensure accurate fit with flywheels. Precision grinding and finishing processes control flatness and concentricity within strict limits. This alignment prevents vibration and uneven wear during clutch operation. Continuous inspection guarantees compatibility and smooth engagement in the clutch assembly.
Frigate performs cyclic load testing that simulates millions of clutch engagement cycles. This identifies potential fatigue failures before production release. Material samples undergo microstructural analysis to detect stress risers or defects. These tests ensure the springs retain clamping force and reliability over their expected lifespan.
Frigate customizes diaphragm spring thickness, diameter, and finger count based on engine torque data. This allows precise control of clamping force to handle different power outputs. CAD and simulation tools predict force distribution and engagement smoothness before manufacturing. This engineering approach reduces the risk of clutch slip and enhances drivetrain efficiency.
