What is the Principle of the Clutch?
1 Answers
The driving and driven parts of the clutch utilize friction between their contact surfaces. Below is a relevant introduction about the clutch: 1. Clutch: The clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. During driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily disconnect or gradually engage the engine and the transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power from the engine to the transmission. 2. The Principle of Releasing the Clutch: The principle of releasing the clutch is summarized as "slow first, fast second, and synchronized third." When initially pressing the pedal, it should be done quickly and all the way to the bottom. When lifting the pedal, the free travel should be quick, slowing down as it approaches the contact point. At the semi-engagement point, there should be a slight pause before fully releasing. The key to this process is accurately finding the semi-engagement point. To control the vehicle speed effectively, the semi-engagement point serves as the dividing line: lifting quickly above it and slowing down below it, adjusting downward to choose a speed that suits the driver.
