Which Side Should the Convex Surface of the Tiida Clutch Plate Face?
1 Answers
The side of the Tiida clutch plate with letters should face the engine. The clutch plate is a composite material primarily designed for friction, while also meeting structural performance requirements. Automotive friction materials are mainly used to manufacture brake friction plates and clutch plates. The working principle of the clutch is as follows: 1. Disengaged when the clutch is depressed: When starting the vehicle, the driver depresses the clutch, and the movement of the clutch pedal pulls the pressure plate backward, separating it from the friction plate. At this point, the pressure plate and the flywheel are not in contact, so there is no relative friction. 2. Fully engaged when the clutch is not depressed: During normal driving, the pressure plate is tightly pressed against the friction plate on the flywheel, resulting in maximum friction between the pressure plate and the friction plate. The input and output shafts maintain relative static friction, rotating at the same speed. 3. Partially engaged when the clutch is slightly depressed: The friction between the pressure plate and the friction plate is less than in the fully engaged state. The pressure plate and the friction plate on the flywheel are in a state of sliding friction, with the flywheel rotating faster than the output shaft, transmitting partial power from the flywheel to the transmission.
