Clutch facings are the friction rings bonded or riveted to the clutch plate that grip the flywheel and transfer drive. KBC manufactures clutch facings for light passenger vehicles through to heavy duty commercial and agricultural applications, wholesale to the trade.

Clutch facings built for consistent bite

The facing does the actual work in a clutch assembly. Get the friction compound wrong and you get slip, judder, or a clutch that grabs. Our formulations are made for consistent bite, controlled wear and heat tolerance under repeated engagement.

Suited to:

• Passenger car and bakkie clutch rebuilds
• Light and medium commercial vehicles
• Trucks and buses
• Tractors and agricultural machinery
• Industrial and stationary drive applications

Not sure which part you need?

Send us a photograph or the dimensions and we will identify the exact part for you. It is a free service we have run for years, and it is the fastest way to get the right component when the old part has no legible markings left on it. Get in touch or send the details through and we will come back to you.

Frequently asked questions

Can you match facings to an old clutch plate?

Yes. Send us the outer diameter, inner diameter, thickness and a photograph, and we will identify the correct facing.

Do you rebuild clutches as a service?

We do, for light motor vehicles. We can courier-collect a disassembled clutch assembly, assess it, and rebuild it where it is viable. Ask us for details.
