LMB Clutch Replacement Kit Materials
LMB OE Replacement Clutch Kits come in 1 of 3 unique materials.
Organic
The basic organic clutch facing materials has been in the industry over 60 years and has evolved considerably due to engine advancements and environmental issues. From now defunct asbestos facings, to fibreglass and brass as its main ingredients. An organic facing should be used where the clutch must be engaged and disengaged many times a day. This provides smooth engagement with considerable amounts of grip and less tendency to chatter. The downside is it can’t withstand high heat and has relatively short lifespan.
Kevlar/Aramid
Kevlar/Aramid when used in proper applications can outlast other friction materials two to five times. Kevlar/Aramid provides the pulling capabilities of metallic button materials along with the smooth engagement properties of organic facing. This property of Kevlar/Aramid allows prolonged life of all driveline components as well as reduced downtime costs. Kevlar/Aramid clutch can withstand more heat, but they are harder than organic clutches which makes them more prone to chatter.
Sintered Metallic
Sintered metallic button style clutch facings are very durable and have the unique ability to grab better as it heats up. However, there are downsides to sintered metallic material. Firstly, this clutch is either in or it’s out, there is no soft engagement. Second, it is as hard as the material that it mates against, which means that the pressure plate, centre plate, and flywheel wear at the same rate as the facing. Sintered metallic facing is the hardest of all and the most likely to induce chatter.
