ACT pressure plates feature a special, single diaphragm design
to dramatically increase clamp load without the adverse effects of
double-diaphragm type clutches. Effective diaphragm designs are
used to increase clamp load, reduce deflection and maximize clutch
life. All diaphragms endure an exclusive four stage, heat treating
process for unparalleled performance. The Heavy Duty pressure plate
is one of the most popular models offered by ACT. It provides a
clamp load increase of about 20-50% and most meet SFI Spec 1.1 to
ensure safety.
ACT
ACT's mission is to serve our customers in an extraordinary way
with business excellence, outstanding product quality, and
exceptional value which meets even the most challenging needs of
our customers. ACT leads the industry in performance clutches and
flywheels by manufacturing an extensive product line, including
single disc clutches, twin disc clutches, carbon clutches and
flywheels. Our Mission is to advance a family of people committed
to innovation, measurable results and well developed systems of
operation which provide adventure, quality and efficiency. Each ACT
product is unparalleled in strength, durability and materials. ACT
products combine all the features needed in a performance clutch or
flywheel with many different combinations to choose from. Materials
used from design to production provide the platform for a solid
engineered part. ACT provides quality that lasts, materials that
work and processes that perform to ensure calculated results.
Simple yet advanced. Finite Element Analysis: ACT uses powerful
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) computer software to test and
evaluate products in a virtual environment. The FEA software
accompanies the latest CAD and 3D solid modeling software used by
ACT's research and development department so that numerous design
alternatives can be considered long before coming to market with a
new product. ACT's FEA software mechanical stress, heat transfer,
thermal stress, vibration and buckling analysis under virtually any
load condition which can help identify potential problems in a
particular design.Custom Data Recording Press: ACT uses a computer
operated data recording press to cycle, test and record pressure
plate clamp load, working range, release load and release travel.
Each pressure plate is load tested and cycled to ensure parts meet
ACT's strict quality standards. This special equipment makes
testing accurate, efficient, and thorough so both existing parts
and prototype designs can be quickly evaluated. This equipment also
allows ACT to create custom setups for customers and give them a
dyno sheet for that exact assembly. Laboratory Testing: Utilizing
the latest in laboratory testing, ACT continues to experiment with
different friction materials and design alternatives for future
product development. Friction material tests help ACT to evaluate
coefficient of friction, fade, wear, and recovery under different
load, speed and temperature conditions. Laboratory burst testing
and material testing is performed on parts for SFI certification on
a scheduled basis and regularly performed on new parts.
