What is the working principle of the clutch pressure plate?

[LePhoebe]

The clutch housing, including the intermediate pressure plate, is mounted on the plunger at the rear end face of the flywheel. Under the action of the spring, the pressure plate engages with the friction disc, transmitting the engine power to the gearbox. Here is more information about the clutch pressure plate: 1. Maintenance and inspection: After grinding, the pressure plate should undergo a balance test, with an imbalance error not exceeding 50g.cm; the clearance of the pressure plate should be checked, and the clearance between the drive pin holes of the intermediate pressure plate of a double-disc clutch and the drive pins should not exceed 1mm; the depth of wear grooves should be measured, and if the depth exceeds 0.50mm, a new part should be replaced. 2. Brief description: The clutch pressure plate is an important component of the clutch, and its function plays a crucial role in the safety of vehicle operation.
