Helix 7.25" (184mm) Cerametallic 3 Paddle Drive Plate

The Helix 7.25" (184mm) Cerametallic 3 Paddle Drive Plate is designed to transfer engine power efficiently through a compact clutch assembly while handling high heat and repeated engagement cycles. Its 3 paddle cerametallic friction segments, riveted construction and choice of rigid or sprung centre configurations help provide consistent clutch operation with improved heat dissipation and driveline control.

Discover the key features of this drive plate:

• 3 Paddle Cerametallic Friction Segments: Three cerametallic pads are riveted directly to the drive plate to provide a strong friction surface capable of handling high torque loads and repeated clutch engagement, helping you maintain reliable power transfer during demanding driving conditions.
• 7.25" (184mm) Clutch Compatibility: Designed specifically for use with 7 ¼” (184mm) clutch assemblies, this compact drive plate supports reduced rotational mass and efficient packaging within performance transmission setups, helping improve clutch response and installation compatibility.
• Thicker Cerametallic Pad Construction: The cerametallic pads are manufactured thicker than those found on sintered clutch drive plates which increases heat soak capacity and improves heat dissipation, helping reduce excessive heat build-up during prolonged clutch use and supporting longer service life.
• Rigid Centre Option: The rigid centre configuration provides direct clutch engagement with reduced drivetrain cushioning, helping deliver immediate power transfer and a more connected driveline response in dedicated competition setups.
• Sprung Centre Option: The optional sprung centre uses integrated springs to cushion clutch engagement forces through the driveline, helping reduce shock loading on transmission components while allowing smoother and more progressive engagement during lower speed driving.
• Aggressive 3 Paddle Engagement Design: The 3 paddle layout provides a firmer and more aggressive clutch engagement characteristic which helps reduce slip under load and supports efficient torque transfer during hard acceleration and rapid gear changes.
• Extended Clutch Life Characteristics: The improved heat management properties of the thicker cerametallic pads help reduce excessive friction surface wear during repeated heavy use, supporting longer operational life in demanding clutch applications.

This drive plate helps you maintain reliable clutch operation during repeated high temperature and high load use where consistent engagement and heat control are important. The choice of rigid or sprung centre configurations allows you to match the clutch response to your vehicle setup and intended use. Its compact 7.25" design and durable cerametallic construction make it a practical addition to your transmission setup where dependable clutch performance and extended service life are priorities.
