<p>A carbon to carbon friction mechanism (10) which includes a lightweight pressure plate (58) directly mounted to an adjacent carbon plate (52) so that the pressure plate (58) is kept concentrically aligned during operation of the mechanism. The directly mounted pressure plate (58) and adjacent carbon plate (52) may be used as components of a carbon to carbon friction clutch. Sufficient clearances are provided between the pressure plate (58) and its adjacent carbon plate (52) to allow for thermal expansion of the materials used for the pressure and carbon plates.</p> |
