Description
Overview:
The Friction Plate - RB230 50140 08 is a wear component used to transmit drive smoothly and prevent slippage within small-engine power equipment. Built with a durable, high-friction lining paired to a robust metal carrier, it withstands heat, abrasion, and repeated engagement during normal operation. This plate is designed to work with the Robin EY08 engine, found in a range of compact construction and garden machines. By restoring the correct level of friction between mating parts, it helps achieve consistent take-up, protects adjoining components from excessive wear, and improves overall drive efficiency. If your machine shows signs of slipping under load, shudder on engagement, or reduced drive, replacing the friction plate with RB230 50140 08 is a straightforward way to return performance and reliability.
Key Features:
- Direct replacement for RB230 50140 08 on equipment using the Robin EY08 engine
- High-friction lining for positive, slip-free engagement under load
- Rigid metal backing for dimensional stability and long service life
- Heat and wear resistant materials suited to frequent start-stop cycles
- Consistent thickness for even contact and reduced glazing
- Helps restore smooth engagement and predictable drive control
- Compatible with common EY08-powered construction and garden machines
- Straightforward to fit with standard workshop tools, minimising downtime
- Supports efficient power transfer and reduces premature wear of mating parts
- Reliable performance in dusty, outdoor, and site conditions
Typical Applications:
Used within the drive or clutch section of EY08-powered equipment such as compactors, generators, pumps, tillers, and similar site or garden machinery. Ideal when refurbishing the drive train, addressing slipping under load, or after routine inspection shows a worn or glazed friction surface.
Also known as:
Robin friction disc, EY08 friction plate, drive friction plate, transmission friction disc, engine drive plate for EY08. These terms are commonly used across workshop manuals and parts lists referring to the same functional component.
