FRICTION PLATE FOR HOIST 1-3 TONNE

Product Description

 The Kito Friction Plate is a genuine OEM replacement component designed for use in Kito CF Series manual chain hoists across the 1 to 3 tonne capacity range, identified by part number CF150AF-010. The friction plate is an internal mechanical component of the hoist load brake assembly, functioning as the steel mating plate that works in conjunction with the friction disc within the brake stack to generate the clamping force required for the load brake to hold, control, and arrest load movement during lowering operations. The load brake on a manual chain hoist relies on the correct interaction between the friction disc and the friction plate to produce the braking force necessary to hold a suspended load stationary when the operator releases the hand chain, and to provide controlled resistance during lowering that prevents the load from descending in an uncontrolled manner.

Maintaining a friction plate that is in sound condition and within the manufacturer's wear tolerances is one of the most critical aspects of hoist brake maintenance. A worn, scored, warped, or contaminated friction plate directly compromises the load-holding and load-lowering safety of the hoist by reducing the effective contact area and friction coefficient between the plate and the friction disc, resulting in reduced brake torque and degraded load-holding capacity. The friction plate must be inspected regularly for wear beyond the minimum allowable thickness, scoring or grooving of the plate contact surface, warping or deformation that prevents full and even contact with the friction disc, and contamination with oil or grease that reduces the effective friction coefficient of the brake stack.

The friction plate is subject to wear and thermal degradation over its service life through repeated brake engagement and release cycles during lowering operations, heat generated by friction during controlled load descent, and the cumulative effects of load shock and dynamic braking loads in demanding operating environments. Across the 1 to 3 tonne CF Series capacity range, the load brake operates under progressively greater braking loads at higher capacity ratings, making regular friction plate inspection and timely replacement particularly important for maintaining full load brake performance and safe hoist operation at all capacity levels within this range.

Note: Friction plate replacement must be performed by a qualified hoist technician. The complete load brake assembly must be inspected, correctly reassembled to OEM specifications, and the hoist must be fully function tested and load tested before returning to service following friction plate replacement. Never operate a hoist with a suspected brake fault — remove the hoist from service immediately and arrange for inspection and repair. Never contaminate the friction plate with oil, grease, or solvents during handling or installation. Confirm the applicable CF Series capacity rating and brake stack configuration for part number CF150AF-010 with your Kito distributor before ordering.
