Angle Spring clutch for Clark machinery

The 107237-10 Angle Spring clutch serves as a primary transmission component, managing the connection and disconnection of engine power to the drivetrain. This pull-type mechanism utilizes eight springs to maintain consistent pressure on the dual discs, facilitating torque transfer within the machine. The assembly includes a pressure plate, commonly referred to as a chapeton, which compresses the discs against the engine flywheel to engage the drive system.

This unit is engineered for Clark heavy machinery and is specified with a 14-inch disc diameter, a 1.3/4-inch center, and a 900 torque capacity. It is compatible with various Clark industrial applications, including heavy-capacity forklifts and industrial tractors that require a multi-disc clutch setup for power transmission.

In heavy machinery, the clutch assembly is responsible for interrupting power flow to allow for gear changes and to provide a controlled start. By managing the friction between the engine and the transmission, the clutch allows the operator to regulate the machine speed and torque delivery. Proper engagement ensures that power is transferred efficiently from the engine to the transmission, preventing slippage under load.
