1 Answers
The functions of a clutch include: 1. Ensuring reliable transmission of the engine's maximum torque while preventing overload in the drivetrain; 2. Providing smooth and gentle engagement to ensure stable vehicle starting and reduce impact; 3. Enabling quick and thorough disengagement to facilitate smooth gear shifting and easy engine starting; 4. Maintaining good balance of rotating parts and low rotational inertia of the driven components. As a common component in mechanical transmissions, the clutch allows the drivetrain to be engaged or disengaged at any time. Its basic requirements are: smooth engagement, rapid and thorough disengagement, easy adjustment and maintenance, compact size, lightweight, good wear resistance, sufficient heat dissipation capacity, and effortless operation.
