Which Side Is the Clutch On?
1 Answers
The clutch is located on the side closer to the driver's door. The functions of the clutch are: 1. To gradually increase the driving force of the car, ensuring a smooth start; 2. To temporarily separate the engine and transmission for gear shifting; 3. To prevent overload of the transmission system; 4. To reduce torsional vibration impacts from the engine, extending the lifespan of transmission gears. The working principle of the clutch is: 1. When the inner ring is fixed, the outer ring rotates clockwise, and the wedge block does not lock, allowing the outer ring to rotate freely; 2. When the outer ring rotates counterclockwise, the wedge block locks, preventing the outer ring from rotating. Clutches are categorized into electromagnetic clutches, magnetic particle clutches, friction clutches, and hydraulic clutches.
