Heavy-duty clutches
Eaton Corp. says its Advantage Series of heavy-duty clutches feature numerous product improvements and enhancements that allow for 50,000-mile service intervals replacing current 25,000-mile intervals, and a 2-year/unlimited mileage aftermarket warranty replacing the current 1-year/unlimited mileage warranty. Eaton will continue offering customers two 15.5-inch heavy-duty clutch options, with the enhanced manually adjusted Eaton Easy Pedal Advantage clutch replacing the Eaton Easy Pedal clutch, and the enhanced self-adjusting Eaton Solo Advantage clutch replacing the Eaton Solo clutch. The Advantage Series clutches have an enhanced release bearing design that features a more robust bushing material and a redesigned release bearing housing with three grease fittings for added flexibility in setting up a lubrication path regardless of release fork design. Additional features of the bearing housing include a more efficient grease reservoir that allows for extended grease intervals, composite slingers that better retain grease and keep out contamination, a redesigned casting for improved strength and wider thrust plates that help increase the contact area with release forks to enhance performance.
