Clutch disc for Clark 60T GR-22

The clutch disc, part number 233166, serves as a primary component within the power transmission system of heavy machinery. It enables the operator to connect and disconnect the engine from the transmission, which allows for gear changes and controlled movement of the equipment without requiring the engine to be shut down. This component manages the transfer of torque from the engine to the drivetrain mechanisms.

This part is designed for use in Clark transmissions, including those fitted to the Grove 60T GR-22 rough-terrain crane. It is engineered to meet the specific requirements of these transmission assemblies to ensure proper fitment and operation. Regular inspection of the clutch disc is necessary to identify wear, as a worn disc can lead to slippage, loss of power, and potential damage to the transmission housing or internal gear sets.

In heavy equipment, the clutch disc functions by creating friction against the flywheel and pressure plate. When engaged, it locks the engine output to the transmission input, ensuring that power is delivered to the wheels or lifting mechanisms. When disengaged, it interrupts this power flow, allowing the transmission to shift gears or remain stationary while the engine continues to run.
