About CLUCH FACING RIVETS 5*8*9
Clutch facing rivets are specialized fasteners designed to permanently secure friction materialssuch as clutch facings or liningsto a metal clutch disc or plate. They are critical components in automotive transmissions and industrial machinery, engineered to withstand high torque, shear stress, and extreme operating temperatures, ensuring reliable power transmission.
Typically, these fasteners are designed as semi-tubular (hollow) or solid rivets, enabling them to expand securely upon installation. They are manufactured from durable materials such as brass, mild steel, or copper to ensure longevity and thermal resistance. A distinguishing feature is their flat, chamfered, or countersunk head, which sits flush with or below the surface of the friction material, preventing friction with the flywheel and ensuring a smooth surface after installation.
Commonly, they feature a 150-degree angle to match the counterbore in the friction material. Proper installation using specialized equipment keeps the facing tightly secured to the plate, preventing clutch failure, premature slippage, or uneven wear. These high-strength fasteners are essential for both original equipment manufacturing (OEM) and repairs on everything from passenger vehicles to heavy-duty trucks and industrial equipment.
