Friction disc for Volvo A40D

The friction disc 11038722 serves as a component within the transmission or braking systems of heavy machinery. It facilitates the transfer of torque or the generation of braking force through controlled contact between surfaces. Within a transmission assembly, this disc works alongside separator plates to enable the engagement and disengagement of gears during speed changes. In a braking system, it functions to convert kinetic energy into heat to slow or stop the vehicle.

This component is compatible with the Volvo A40D articulated hauler. It is engineered to integrate into the specific transmission or wet disc brake configurations found in this model. The design accommodates the operational requirements of the hauler, which is used in mining and large-scale earthmoving applications.

Friction discs are generally utilized in drivetrain systems to manage power flow or deceleration. In wet brake or transmission applications, these discs operate submerged in oil, which assists in heat dissipation and lubrication. The specific geometry of the disc, including any surface grooves, is intended to manage fluid distribution and heat transfer during operation. Regular inspection of these discs is standard practice to ensure the continued functionality of the drivetrain and braking systems.
