The Multiquip 28431ZH8801 is a genuine OEM Friction Plate designed for a wide range of Multiquip plate compactors including the MVH158GH, MVH128GH, MVC82VHW, MVC82VH, MVC88VTHW, MVC88VTH, MVC64VHW, MVC64VH, and MVB85H, as well as select Multiquip generators, saws, and centrifugal pumps. As a direct OEM replacement sourced from Multiquip, part 28431ZH8801 is manufactured to the same specification as the original component it replaces. This plate installs into the clutch assembly without modification, restoring proper engagement and drive performance to your equipment. DHS Equipment stocks this part to keep your compactors and associated machines running as intended.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Friction Material — Manufactured to Multiquip's original friction coefficient and wear-grade specification, ensuring consistent clutch engagement under compaction loads.
- Direct Drop-In Fit — Dimensionally identical to the original plate; installs directly into the clutch assembly on compatible MVC, MVH, and MVB series machines.
- Broad Compactor Compatibility — Confirmed fitment across MVH158GH, MVH128GH, MVC82VHW, MVC82VH, MVC88VTHW, MVC88VTH, MVC64VHW, MVC64VH, and MVB85H plate compactors.
- Restored Drive Engagement — A worn friction plate causes clutch slippage and loss of vibratory drive; replacing it with 28431ZH8801 restores full power transfer from engine to eccentric shaft.
- OEM Part Number Accuracy — Ordering by Multiquip part number 28431ZH8801 confirms you receive the correct plate for your specific machine, avoiding costly misfits or return delays.
The friction plate is the wear interface within the centrifugal clutch assembly, transmitting rotational force from the engine to the machine's drive components when engine speed reaches the engagement threshold. On plate compactors, this means the eccentric shaft — which generates the compaction vibration — only receives drive power when the engine is running at working speed, protecting the operator and drivetrain during startup and idle. As the friction material wears down, the clutch begins to slip under load, causing reduced vibration output and compaction force. Replacing the friction plate at the first sign of slippage restores full drive efficiency and prevents accelerated wear on surrounding clutch components.
