What are the components of a clutch?
1 Answers
The clutch consists of four main parts: the driving part, the driven part, the pressing part, and the operating mechanism. The working process of the clutch can be summarized in three points: 1. Engagement process: The diaphragm spring is installed between the clutch cover and the pressure plate, creating a pre-compression deformation that generates pressure on the pressure plate, pressing the driving and driven parts together, thus engaging the clutch. 2. Disengagement process: When the clutch pedal is depressed, the pedal moves left, pushing the push rod left. Through the cylinder and working cylinder, the diaphragm spring release plate is pushed left. As a result, the diaphragm spring pivots on the support pin fixed to the clutch cover, causing the large end to move right, while the pressure plate is pulled right by the action of the release plate. 3. Re-engagement process: Releasing the clutch pedal returns the pedal to its original position. The movement of the operating mechanism during re-engagement is the reverse of the disengagement process. The re-engagement process ends when a preset gap appears between the release bearing and the diaphragm spring release plate, and the diaphragm spring once again presses the pressure plate against the driven disk, restoring the clutch's power transmission function.
