Can the Clutch and Brake Be Pressed Simultaneously?
1 Answers
Clutch and brake can be pressed simultaneously, but the frequency should be minimized to avoid clutch damage. Functions of the clutch: 1. Gradually increase the driving force of the car for smooth starting; 2. Temporarily separate the engine and transmission for gear shifting; 3. Prevent overload of the transmission system; 4. Reduce torsional vibration impact from the engine and extend the service life of transmission gears. The function of the brake is to reduce speed or stop the vehicle. Its working principle is to convert the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy through friction between the brake pads and brake drum, as well as between the tires and the ground, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle.
