Clutch Facing Press

How this press is built

Engineered around heavy structural columns, the Clutch Facing Press provides 495 Ton of stable compaction power for automotive friction clutch facings in envelopes up to Platen working area 758 × 758 mm with dual electric heating. The hydraulic controller manages ram acceleration, powder densification, and a 123-second pressure dwell. Gradual pressure dissipation protects fragile green edges during subsequent bottom-cylinder soft ejection.

Material behaviour under compaction

Built to process both virgin and modified formulations of thermoset compounds (SMC/BMC/bakelite) & friction mix powders, the machine delivers repeatable compaction ratios across multi-shift production. The rigid bolster structure prevents angular deflection, resulting in green parts with uniform density and minimal porosity.

Tooling and die design

Precision-ground guidance columns paired with bronze sleeve bushings guarantee alignment repeatability within ±0.01 mm. Tooling sets for automotive friction clutch facings are engineered with air bleeding clearances to prevent powder blow-out during rapid compaction strokes.

Sizing and machine selection

When evaluating this Clutch Facing Press (495 Ton model), provide part dimensions, resin type, and desired shift output. We verify frame daylight, ram stroke, and hydraulic motor sizing to optimize production throughput.

Quality checks and inspection

Our Gujarat works conducts stringent quality testing on every unit: 8-hour endurance cycling under peak tonnage, hydraulic oil temperature stability monitoring, and dimensional verification of trial-pressed green compacts.

Installation and commissioning

Every unit ships with complete documentation: circuit diagrams, hydraulic schematics, foundation drawings, and recommended spare parts lists. HEMSUN service engineers provide on-site installation, commissioning, and staff training support.

Export packing and lead time

Export compliance includes multi-voltage electrical switchgear (415V/50Hz), IEC documentation, and heavy-duty timber crating with anti-corrosion barrier wrapping for ocean freight.

Maintenance and spare parts

Engineered for low maintenance overhead, the press features accessible hydraulic valves, visual oil level and temperature gauges, and centralized lubrication blocks. Spare seal sets and wear rings are cataloged under individual machine serial numbers.

Safety and guarding

The machine is equipped with Category 4 optical safety guards, two-hand anti-tie-down control circuits, automatic hydraulic overpressure relief valves, and perimeter mesh guarding with safety interlocks.
