What is the Principle of a Vehicle Clutch?
1 Answers
The driving part and driven part of the clutch transmit torque through friction between contact surfaces, using liquid as the transmission medium, or magnetic force transmission, allowing temporary separation and gradual engagement while permitting mutual rotation during transmission. Operating precautions are as follows: 1. Pay attention to the correct clutch pedal posture: The clutch pedal should be controlled with the ball of the foot. When pressing the clutch pedal, place the ball of your foot on the pedal with your heel touching the ground, keeping the knee slightly bent when the clutch is fully depressed. Avoid using the toes or lifting the heel off the ground to prevent insufficient force or slipping. 2. Control the timing of clutch engagement: When driving, do not release the clutch too quickly or deliberately raise the engine speed too high, as this accelerates clutch wear. 3. Ensure the clutch pedal is fully depressed before shifting gears. 4. Avoid keeping the left foot on the clutch pedal while driving, and never use the right foot to press the clutch pedal.
