What is the working principle of a one-way clutch?
1 Answers
The working principle of a one-way clutch is: when the inner race is fixed, the outer race can rotate freely in the clockwise direction without the wedge locking it. Below is a related introduction about the clutch: 1. Function: The clutch is part of the car's transmission system, installed between the engine and the transmission. Its role is to connect or disconnect the engine from the transmission. When the driver presses the clutch pedal, the clutch disconnects; when the pedal is released, the clutch connects. 2. Components: The clutch pressure plate is fixed to the engine flywheel, with the clutch disc located between the flywheel and the pressure plate. The clutch disc has a spline in the middle that can secure a drive shaft, which is the power input shaft of the transmission. The clutch disc is a wear part that needs regular replacement. As the vehicle's mileage increases, the clutch disc will gradually wear out. 3. Replacement: To replace the clutch disc, the connection between the engine and the transmission must be disconnected, and then the entire transmission must be removed from the vehicle. Only in this way can the clutch disc be replaced.
