What is the Principle of Clutch?

[IsabellaAnn]

Automobile clutch working principle: When the inner race is fixed, the outer race rotates clockwise and the wedge block does not lock, allowing the outer race to rotate freely. When the outer race rotates counterclockwise, the wedge block locks, preventing the outer race from rotating. Additional information: The clutch mainly consists of a driving disc, centrifugal throw-out blocks, buffer rubber rings, tension springs, pillar pins, and other components. The inner hole of the centrifugal throw-out block and the pillar pin are in dynamic fit, allowing the centrifugal throw-out block to swing around the pillar pin, while the tension spring always pulls the centrifugal throw-out block toward the smallest arc size. These components are all installed on the driving disc, which is fixed to the engine crankshaft. The rotation of the crankshaft drives the driving disc to rotate.
