Clutch Pressure Plate & Clutch Plate Set — Matched Pair for 3-3.5 Ton Forklifts

This is a factory-matched two-piece clutch set — a pressure plate (cover assembly) and clutch disc (driven plate) paired together at the factory so the clamp load of the diaphragm spring and the friction coefficient of the disc facings are calibrated to work as a system, not as two randomly combined parts. This is fundamentally different from buying a pressure plate and disc separately from different sources: when a pressure plate rated at 5,800 N clamp load is paired with a disc whose friction material was formulated for a 4,500 N plate, the clutch either slips prematurely (disc too soft for the clamp force) or chatters on engagement (disc too aggressive, grabbing rather than modulating). The 3-3.5 ton class amplifies this mismatch risk because 3-ton and 3.5-ton forklifts from the same manufacturer often use the same 275mm disc diameter but require different clamp loads — a 3-ton disc bought for a 3.5-ton pressure plate will glaze its facings within the first week of loaded operation. This matched set eliminates that variable entirely.

The pressure plate in this set uses a shot-peened diaphragm spring with a clamp load calibrated for the 3-3.5 ton engine torque band (40-55 kW 4-cylinder diesels). The pressure ring friction surface is ground to ≤0.05mm flatness and the diaphragm fingers are height-matched to within ±0.3mm across all fingers — the two most common points of failure on unmatched assemblies. The clutch disc features organic friction facings with a copper-woven reinforcement layer for heat dissipation, bonded to a sprung hub with six torsional damper springs sized for the 3-3.5 ton torque pulsation frequency. The disc spline count is 10-spline, matching the standard transmission input shaft for Heli CPCD30-CPCD35, TCM FD30-FD35, and Toyota 7FD30-7FD35. The most common installation mistake with a matched set is assuming the factory pre-alignment eliminates the need for a clutch alignment tool — the disc still needs to be centered in the pressure plate before tightening the mounting bolts, because the factory only pairs the components, it doesn’t pre-mount them as a single unit.

Direct fit for Heli CPCD30 and CPCD35, Hangcha CPCD30 and CPCD35, TCM FD30 and FD35, Toyota 7FD30-7FD35 and 7FG30-7FG35, Komatsu FD30-FD35 and FG30-FG35, and Lonking LG30D-LG35D. Always use a clutch alignment tool, replace the release bearing and pilot bearing simultaneously, and torque the pressure plate mounting bolts in a star pattern to the flywheel specification.
