Diaphragms are induction hardened on the release bearing contact area to reduce wear and promote smooth operation. |
 |
 |
Cover stampings are sometimes reinforced by ACT to reduce flex and improve the efficiency and feel of the pressure plate. |
 |
 |
Stronger drive straps and rivets are used when needed to strengthen the pressure plate and prevent breakage. |
 |
 |
Up to four clamp load ratings are available (some applications) – choose between a Sport, Heavy Duty, Xtreme or MaXX Xtreme pressure plate. |
 |
 |
We load test every pressure plate on a special computerized testing press for quality assurance. This same machine also assists in designing new products and evaluating parts that are in for service. |
 |
 |
Proper release travel, clamp load, pedal effort, and working range are analyzed using specialized testing equipment and software. |
 |
 |
All castings are CNC machined for greater consistency and precision |
 |
 |
ACT pressure plates feature a special single diaphragm design to dramatically increase clamp load without the adverse affects of double diaphragm type clutches. |
 |
 |
Precision cover stampings provide rigidity, consistency and are cost effective. |
 |
 |
Creative diaphragm designs are used to increase clamp load, reduce deflection and maximize clutch life. All diaphragms endure an exclusive four stage heat treating process for unparalleled performance. |
 |
 |
Most ACT pressure plates are certified as meeting SFI Specification 1.1. and are legal for competition in all racing organizations where SFI certification is required. |
 |
 |
All ACT pressure plates are dynamically computer balanced for smooth operation at high rpm. |
