FRICTION DISC 31MM ID 60MM OD 3MM THICK

Product Description

The Kito Friction Disc is a genuine OEM replacement component designed for use in Kito CF Series manual chain hoists, identified by part number CF150AF-020. The friction disc is an internal mechanical component of the hoist load brake assembly, providing the friction surface 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 friction disc to generate the clamping 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 disc that is in sound condition and within the manufacturer's wear tolerances is one of the most critical aspects of hoist brake maintenance, as a worn, glazed, contaminated, or damaged friction disc directly compromises the load-holding and load-lowering safety of the hoist.

The friction disc dimensions — 31mm inner diameter, 60mm outer diameter, and 3mm thickness — are the precise OEM specifications for the CF Series load brake assembly. Using a friction disc of incorrect dimensions, incorrect friction material, or incorrect thickness will result in improper brake engagement, reduced load-holding capacity, and a compromised safe working load. The friction disc must be inspected regularly for wear beyond the minimum allowable thickness, glazing of the friction surface, contamination with oil or grease, cracking or delamination, and any condition that reduces the effective friction coefficient of the disc surface.

The friction disc 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. In high-cycle applications or hoists used frequently for lowering heavy loads, the friction disc should be inspected at regular intervals and replaced before it reaches the minimum allowable thickness to maintain full load brake performance.

Note: Friction disc replacement must be performed by a qualified hoist technician. The complete load brake assembly must be inspected, correctly reassembled, and the hoist must be fully function tested and load tested before returning to service following friction disc 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 disc with oil, grease, or solvents during handling or installation.
