Unisawyer Report post Posted November 26, 2016 Can someone help me to identify the friction plate material using the image attached? Perhaps it is a known configuration.... From left to right; pulley (belt removed), friction plate material, friction plate, motor The machine works very well. If folks know this to be an asbestos material, I will consider changing out the drive system. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Constabulary Report post Posted November 26, 2016 Not sure but I´ts possible. On external clutch systems like this I have seen leather as well as some very hard dense stuff same as used in some clutch motors. I know some clutch motor had asbestos fibers in their clutch plates. I think LW Member EVO160 once replaced a clutch plate on a similar system like yours with some hard sole leather if i remember correctly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
