The MACK DW600 EXL97650 is typically constructed from cast iron or aluminum alloy, chosen for its strength, heat dissipation properties and light weight. Within the housing, the diaphragm spring mechanism is the heart of the pressure plate function. The mechanism consists of a series of radial levers that, when engaged, push against the friction surface of the pressure plate. The diaphragm spring is designed to provide the necessary clamping force to secure the clutch plate to the flywheel under varying load and driving conditions. The material the clutch pressure plate is made of is critical to its performance and longevity.
