What are the four basic components of a friction plate clutch?
1 Answers
The friction plate clutch is basically composed of four parts: the driving part, the driven part, the pressing mechanism, and the operating mechanism. Below is a related introduction to the friction plate clutch: Function: The function of the clutch is to transmit and cut off power. It is required to smoothly complete power transmission during the car's starting process and quickly cut off power during gear shifting or braking. Additionally, the clutch has an additional function of preventing overload in the transmission system. Working Principle: The engine torque is transmitted to the driven plate through the friction between the flywheel and the driven plate contact surface, and then it is passed to the drive wheels through the driven shaft and a series of components in the transmission system. The greater the pressing force of the pressing spring, the greater the torque the clutch can transmit.
