Abstract: Some OEM clutch suppliers provide a clutch system that is welded closed and accordingly these systems are difficult to maintain, service and/or upgrade, for example after drive or driven (friction) disks have worn out. Typically, these systems are intended to be entirely replaced. Alternatively, in order to access the clutch internals the welded assembly needs to be cut open and only then can the disks can be replaced. After re-assembly, re-welding is required in which alignment of components is difficult to achieve and costly. The serviceable clutch housing system provides a solution to overcome the disadvantages of a non-serviceable OEM clutch product by providing a means to retrofit to the clutch allowing assembly and disassembly of the clutch, while maintaining many of the original OEM parts. This results in reduction in the maintenance cost and time required for assembly after servicing.
