The so-called clutch, by definition means that the use of "off" and "together" to deliver the right amount of power. The friction plate clutch, spring, pressure plate and the power output shaft composition disposed between the engine and gearbox, is used to store the engine flywheel torque transmitted to the gearbox to ensure that vehicles pass under different driving conditions for drivers wheel drive right amount of force and torque, belonging to the powertrain category. In the half-time of linkage, the power input and power output of the clutch allowed speed difference, that is, by its speed difference to achieve the right amount of power transfer.
Clutch is divided into three working state, that is not depressing the clutch fully linked, some clutch semi-linked, and depresses the clutch is not linked. When the vehicle is in normal driving, the pressure plate is squeezed tightly against the flywheel friction plate on, then remained relatively static friction between the friction maximum input and output shafts pressure plate and friction between the sheets, both of the same speed . When the vehicle is started, the driver depresses the clutch, clutch pedal movement pulled back pressure plate, which is separated from the pressure plate and friction plate, pressure plate and flywheel at this time no contact, there would be no relative friction. |
