What is the detailed working principle of a clutch?
1 Answers
The working principle of a clutch: The torque generated by the engine is transmitted to the driven plate through the friction between the flywheel, pressure plate, and the contact surface of the driven plate. Here is a detailed introduction to the working principle of a clutch: 1. When the driver depresses the clutch pedal, through the transmission of mechanical components, the large end of the diaphragm spring drives the pressure plate to move backward, separating the driven part from the driving part. 2. During vehicle operation, the driver can depress or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine with the transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power input from the engine to the transmission. 3. The clutch is a common component in mechanical transmission systems, allowing the drivetrain to be separated or engaged at any time.
