l parts and components used in any type of automotive, heavy equipment, agricultural, marine, and in specialized types of equipment applications are designed and manufactured to exacting specifications. This is essential to ensure the various components correctly integrate with other parts, producing a vehicle or piece of equipment that provides optimal performance and a long duty or life cycle.
All parts, including housings, are essential for the performance of the overall system within the equipment. Clutch housings are critical in protecting the clutch assembly. Poor manufacturing of these components results in poor performance, early wear, and increased risk of downtime and clutch failure.
Basic Information
Depending on the type of equipment or vehicle, clutch housings can be made of aluminum, cast iron, or magnesium. Aluminum offers top strength to weight ratio, high resistance to corrosion, and good tolerance to extreme temperatures. Magnesium is also very lightweight and is often used in performance vehicles as it has very limited expansion, even with high heat.
Cast iron clutch housings are ideal for heavy-duty types of applications, including heavy equipment and agricultural equipment. Cast iron is durable, has a long life cycle, and offers significant protection from any damage due to equipment use.
Manufacturing Companies
As with any type of housings, working with manufacturers specializing in die casting and finishing of parts and components for your industry is an important factor. Outsourcing production to these companies ensures housings are delivered ready to install, with full product testing and quality assurance in place.
