Raw Material
Intermediate friction plates are made of high carbon steel and the core plates are made from aluminum, steel, high temperature resistant plastics, or phenol resin-based fiber depending on the design of the clutch.
This friction material is lined on the core plates to generate the torque in the engine. The clutch works on the principle of friction. Two friction surfaces are brought in contact with each other; when applied a force during engagement, here they are united due to the friction between them and transmit power from engine to the gear box and subsequently to the driven wheels.

Raw Material |
Aluminium Body |
High grade ADC12 with copper content of 1.65% |
Substandard ADC12 with copper content of 0.5-0.8% which is below international standards |
We offer ECE-R90 certified formulation with High Copper content means exceptional mechanical properties like durability, comfort and longevity along with safe ride. |
Lining |
Non-Asbestos formation with special Fibre material |
With Asbestos formation |
We offer Environment friendly Non-asbestos friction material as Asbestos material has been banned in most of the countries. |
Manufacturing
We derive our superior quality with precision at every stage of production. The ADC 12 raw material yields us the high strength and another factor that leads to high demand of our spare part is usage of environmentally friendly No asbestos friction material, as Asbestos is banned in many countries. Our patented material flaunts excellent performance and most competitive prices. Our quality is accepted by OEM manufacturers as well and our factory direct selling prices help us contain our prices in this very competitive market. We take pride in our massive production capacity of around 50,000 sets per day and an extensive range of 150 models. Yet our streamlined production processes ensure 100% customer satisfaction and unmatched quality.

RITSUKA has an extra ordinary aptitude in developing customized formulations for friction products. For die casted products, the company has in-house tool room with integrated facilities for die design & die manufacturing enabling quick lead time to customers. |
Moulding |
Automated moulding process |
Manual Moulding process |
Automated moulding results in Relatively poor wear under heavy duty conditions and at higher friction levels |
Heat Treatment |
Inhouse Heat treatment process |
Outsourced in most of the factories |
Grain alignment to give better raw material strength and to reduce internal stress |
Testing
The finished Clutch Friction Plate are made to undergo various checks and tests to ensure precision and quality is attained atevery level, in best way possible. For your trust and safety, we always go an extra mile and recheck our passion. Each of theClutch Friction Plate is evaluated on following parameters, before they make way to market and to you.
