Clutch reaction plate for Pettibone 30 12000

The clutch reaction plate, identified by part number 4012382, functions within the transmission system of Pettibone machinery. This component features an external spline design that allows for a specific connection within the clutch assembly, assisting in the controlled transfer of power through the drivetrain. By providing a surface for the clutch mechanism, it manages the transmission of torque between moving parts during operation.

This plate is compatible with the Pettibone 30 12000 model. It is engineered to integrate into the existing clutch housing, where it helps maintain the alignment and engagement necessary for the transmission to function correctly. The external splines ensure the component remains fixed in its position while interacting with the surrounding clutch elements.

In heavy machinery transmissions, reaction plates serve as stationary or rotating members that provide the necessary friction or pressure surface for clutch discs. They are essential for the engagement and disengagement cycles of the transmission, allowing the machine to shift gears or modulate power output to the wheels or tracks. Proper maintenance of these plates is necessary to ensure consistent power delivery and to prevent slippage within the transmission assembly.
