The Clutch Functions When The Vehicle Starts And Shifts

Generally speaking, the clutch plays a role when the vehicle starts and shifts, at this time there is a speed difference between one and two shafts of the gearbox, and the power of the engine must be cut from one shaft, and the synchronizer can keep the speed of one shaft well synchronized with the two shafts. After the gear is hooked in, one shaft is combined with the engine power through the clutch, so that the power can continue to be transmitted. In the clutch, there is also an indispensable cushioning device. It consists of two discs similar to flywheels paired together, with rectangular grooves on the discs, springs arranged in the grooves, and in the face of intense impact, the springs between the two discs have an elastic effect on each other, buffer external stimuli, and effectively protect the engine and clutch.

Among the various accessories of the clutch, the strength of the pressure plate spring, the friction coefficient of the friction plate, the diameter of the clutch, the position of the friction plate, and the number of clutches are the key factors that determine the performance of the clutch. The greater the stiffness of the spring, the higher the coefficient of friction of the friction plate, the larger the diameter of the clutch, and the better the clutch performance.
