The Caterpillar 215-8140 friction disc is a drivetrain component used in Caterpillar equipment to control torque transfer and support smooth transmission operation.
Friction discs are critical components in transmission and clutch systems, allowing controlled engagement and disengagement between rotating parts. This friction disc plays an important role in managing torque flow and maintaining stable power delivery in Caterpillar machinery.
Installed within transmission assemblies, this component helps ensure smooth gear engagement while minimizing vibration and excessive wear. Effective friction control contributes to improved drivability, reduced heat buildup and longer service life of surrounding transmission components.
Manufactured to meet Caterpillar performance standards offers durability and resistance to wear under heavy operating loads. Its design supports continuous operation in environments involving high torque, frequent shifting and demanding working conditions.
When friction discs become worn, slippage, reduced power transfer and overheating may occur. Replacing worn components with the correct friction disc helps restore proper engagement and protects transmission systems from premature damage.
Routine inspection of transmission components is recommended during scheduled maintenance. Installing a reliable 215-8140 friction disc helps maintain consistent torque transfer, reduce downtime and support long-term reliability of Caterpillar construction and industrial equipment.
