What is the working principle of the clutch switch?
1 Answers
The working principle of the clutch switch is as follows: 1. Working principle: The clutch is installed between the engine and the transmission, and it is the assembly component in the automotive powertrain that is directly connected to the engine. Typically, the clutch is mounted together with the flywheel group of the engine crankshaft, serving as the component that cuts off and transmits power between the engine and the automotive powertrain. Throughout the process from starting to normal driving, the driver can operate the clutch as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and the powertrain, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power output from the engine to the powertrain. 2. Functional principle: It allows for gradual engagement between the engine and the transmission to ensure smooth vehicle starting; temporarily disconnects the link between the engine and the transmission to facilitate gear shifting and reduce impact during shifting; and acts as a separator during emergency braking to prevent overload in the transmission and other powertrain components, thus providing a certain protective effect.
