Clutch Working Principle
The automotive clutch is mainly composed of four parts: the driving part, the driven part, the pressing mechanism, and the operating mechanism. The engine flywheel is the driving component of the clutch, which comes into contact with the driven plate through the friction plate. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the operating mechanism causes the pressing mechanism to release, separating the driven plate from the flywheel and cutting off the power transmission. When the clutch pedal is released, the pressing mechanism presses the driven plate tightly against the flywheel. Due to the effect of frictional force, the flywheel drives the driven plate to rotate, thus transmitting the Clutch Working Principlepower to the input shaft of the transmission.
