What is the Difference Between a Wet Multi-Plate Clutch and a Slipper Clutch?
1 Answers
The difference between a wet multi-plate clutch and a slipper clutch lies in the fact that the wet multi-plate clutch is a component within an automatic transmission, while the slipper clutch can slide appropriately when needed. Below are detailed explanations about automotive clutches: 1. Overview: The automotive clutch is located within the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission, with the output shaft of the clutch serving as the input shaft of the transmission. During vehicle operation, the driver can depress or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily disconnect or gradually engage the engine with the transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the engine's power to the transmission. 2. Principle: The driving and driven parts of the clutch utilize friction between contact surfaces, or employ liquid as a transmission medium, or use magnetic transmission (electromagnetic clutch) to transmit torque, allowing temporary separation and gradual engagement between the two parts, while permitting mutual rotation during the transmission process.
