Disk for Hitachi KH180

The disk, identified by part number 2017144, functions as a critical friction element within the mechanical systems of heavy machinery. Depending on its specific installation, it acts as a coupling device in clutch assemblies to transmit torque, a braking surface to dissipate kinetic energy, or a shifting component within transmission packs. Its geometry and surface properties allow it to interface with mating components to manage power delivery or arrest motion during operation.

This component is compatible with the Hitachi KH180 crane. Proper integration of this disk ensures that the machine responds accurately to operator inputs, whether it is utilized within the power take-off clutch, the swing brake, or the transmission system. Maintenance personnel should monitor the disk for signs of surface wear, deformation, or thermal damage to maintain the operational integrity of the crane systems.

In heavy equipment, disks serve as the primary interface for transferring torque or absorbing energy through friction. They are engineered to maintain a consistent coefficient of friction while managing the thermal loads generated during engagement or braking cycles. By providing a controlled interface between moving parts, these disks enable the precise engagement of gears or the effective deceleration of rotating assemblies within the drive train or braking circuits.
