GQ50 Bar Cutting Machine Clutch Plate – Replacement Spare

This is the replacement clutch plate for the GQ50 bar cutting machine. The clutch is what engages and disengages the cutting stroke, so its friction plate wears with use and is replaced as a service part while the machine keeps running.

Fits

• Bar Cutting Machine GQ50 — the heavy-duty 415 V bench cutter for 6–40 mm TMT bar

The GQ45 takes its own clutch plate — order the GQ45 clutch plate for that machine.

What it does and when to replace it

On a bar cutter the motor runs continuously, but the cutting stroke only happens when the operator engages it. The clutch is the part that makes that connection — it transmits torque from the running motor to the cutting mechanism on demand, then releases it. Because engaging means friction surfaces gripping under load, the plate wears down over thousands of cuts. On the GQ50 that load is higher than on the GQ45, since the machine shears bar up to 40 mm.

Replace the clutch plate when the machine is slow to take up the cut, when the stroke slips or hesitates under load, when engagement becomes jerky rather than smooth, or when you smell burning or see glazing on the friction surface. Regular inspection and timely replacement keep cutting accuracy and avoid a larger repair.
