What is the Principle of Wet Dual Clutch?
1 Answers
The principle of wet dual clutch is: The torque transmission of a wet dual clutch is achieved through the friction plates submerged in oil. Since the friction plates of a wet dual clutch transmission are immersed in transmission oil, the oil can provide cooling and lubrication, allowing it to withstand greater loads. A wet clutch utilizes hydraulic pressure for engagement, controlling the transmission of driving force during both the separation and full engagement of the clutch, including situations with relative rotation. Unlike dry clutches, wet clutches primarily rely on hydraulic operation and are generally used in automatic transmissions and continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) that require higher smoothness.
