Clutch having friction elements made from a sintered metal material

A clutch plate comprises a plate body having a hub and a driven plate which is connected to the plate body through compression springs to rotate with it and extends radially beyond the plate body. A ring-shaped friction lining is secured on the driven plate by rivets, the head of which are sunk into the friction lining. The friction lining is made up of two layers of friction material, and underneath layer riveted to the driven plate and an upper layer stuck onto the lower layer of friction material to cover its whole surface.

Clutch plate and method for its manufacture

A friction lining is designed in particular for clutches and plate-type disc brakes and has an annular body of friction material of which one face forms a friction surface. The annular body has holes distributed around its periphery for the passage of rivets. The holes designed to receive the rivets are arranged in the annular body clear of the friction surface and accordingly do not reduce the area of the friction surface.
