Friction disc for Volvo A40D

The friction disc 11038724 functions as a critical element within the transmission and braking assemblies of heavy machinery. It facilitates the transfer of torque between shafts or assists in halting movement through frictional engagement. Within a transmission system, these discs work in conjunction with separator plates to form a clutch pack, which enables the engagement and disengagement of gears for controlled power transfer and gear shifting.

This component is specifically engineered for the Volvo A40D articulated hauler. It integrates into the automatic transmission or the wet brake system of the vehicle, where it manages high loads and heat dissipation during operation. The part ensures precise fitment and functional compatibility with the A40D drivetrain architecture.

Friction discs are typically mounted on a steel core and feature specific surface patterns designed to assist in heat dissipation and the evacuation of debris. In any transmission or brake assembly, these discs are responsible for providing the necessary grip to lock or release mechanical components. Maintaining the integrity of these discs is necessary to prevent clutch slippage, power loss, or inconsistent braking performance in heavy-duty equipment.
