  • Carbon to carbon friction mechanism
    Patent number: 5415262
    Abstract: A carbon to carbon friction mechanism which includes a lightweight pressure plate directly mounted to an adjacent carbon plate so that the pressure plate is kept concentrically aligned during operation of the mechanism. The directly mounted pressure plate and adjacent carbon plate may be used as components of a carbon to carbon friction clutch. Sufficient clearances are provided between the pressure plate and its adjacent carbon plate to allow for thermal expansion of the materials used for the pressure and carbon plates.
