The ball bearing clutch pressure plate from PINASCO is a simple but very effective upgrade for Vespa Largeframe: the integrated ball bearing significantly reduces friction when the clutch is disengaged. The result is an easier, smoother clutch operation and cleaner power transmission of the actuation to the clutch.
A self-centering pressure mushroom is included in the scope of delivery. The area guided in the bearing has a slightly conical shape and can therefore compensate for a slight inclination. This helps to reduce tension and apply the force more evenly when disengaging.
This solution is a radial bearing. It reduces friction and supports guidance, but is not primarily designed for very high axial forces.
Note: Suitable for the most common large-frame clutch types on the market. For special clutches, please compare the design of the pressure plate and the release mechanism.
The PINASCO pressure plate with ball bearing is an uncomplicated upgrade for many large-frame clutches: less friction, smoother clutching and a clean, even pressure point - ideal for everyday use, touring and powerful road setups.
