What is the Clutch Driven Disc Mounted On?
1 Answers
The clutch driven disc is installed between the engine flywheel and the transmission, with the purpose of transmitting the engine's torque to the transmission, ensuring smooth vehicle starting. Below is the relevant introduction: 1. Vehicle Starting: When a vehicle starts, it gradually accelerates from a completely stationary state. If the drivetrain (which connects the entire vehicle) is rigidly linked to the engine, the moment the transmission is engaged, the vehicle would suddenly jerk forward but fail to start. This is because the transition from stationary to forward motion involves significant inertia, creating a large resistance torque on the engine. Under the effect of this inertial resistance torque, the engine's speed would drop sharply to the minimum stable speed in an instant, causing the engine to stall and cease operation, thus preventing the vehicle from starting. 2. Clutch: As the engagement of the clutch gradually tightens, the torque transmitted from the engine to the drive wheels via the drivetrain increases progressively. Once the traction force is sufficient to overcome the starting resistance, the vehicle begins to move from a stationary position and accelerates gradually.
