What is the working principle of an automatic clutch?
1 Answers
Automatic clutch works by mechanically, electronically, and hydraulically controlling the separation and engagement of the clutch as an independent system. It consists of components such as the clutch drive mechanism, control computer, gear position sensor, wiring harness, and display/voice unit. It is primarily designed for manual transmission vehicles and can be installed without altering the original vehicle structure. The following are the functions of the clutch: 1. Increase driving force: Gradually increases the vehicle's driving force, allowing for smooth starting. 2. Separate the engine and transmission: Temporarily separates the engine and transmission to facilitate gear shifting. 3. Ensure normal operation of the transmission system: Prevents overload of the transmission system and ensures its normal operation. 4. Extend the lifespan of transmission gears: Reduces torsional vibration impact from the engine, thereby extending the lifespan of transmission gears.
