There are many advantages of multi-plate clutches over single plate ones. They decrease the moment of inertia of the clutch and increase the amount of torque that is transmitted through increasing the frictional coefficient of the clutch plates. In addition, they decrease the amount of force needed to operate the clutch, enabling faster and smoother shifting.

Why is a single plate clutch used in trucks while a multi-plate clutch is used in bikes?
Cars use a single plate clutch as there is enough space to use the correct dia plate to create the right amount of torque, while motorbikes use multi-plate clutches because they have limited room and need to create more friction surfaces to produce the required torque.
What are the types of clutches?
Cars generally use a clutch where one plate (the driven plate) is clamped by a clutch cover between a plate in this cover and the flywheel that the cover is bolted to. Some motorcycles use a multiplate clutch where smooth plates are fixed alternately with friction plates, the whole assembly being clamped together by a spring-loaded plate and released by a rod pushed aginste the plate through a hole through the centre shaft. Some machines use dog clutches. These are very simple clutches where there is no slippage, simply a plate with two large lugs moving up to another with gaps where these lugs engage.
1995 escort clutch?
The 1995 Escort clutch has a single dry plate diaphragm spring type clutch. The clutch plate has a splined hub which allows it to slide along the splines on the input shaft. The clutch and pressure plate are held in contact by spring pressure exerted by the diaphragm spring in the pressure plate. During shifting when the clutch pedal is depressed, which transmits hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder to the release cylinder, pushing on the release lever so the throwout bearing pushes on the diaphragm spring fingers, disengaging the clutch.
Where on a vehicle clutch system would you measure the clearance?
At the clutch plate and the pressure plate.
Can you adjust the pressure plate or clutch in a Chevrolet 81 PU.?
Clutch, yes. Pressure plate, No.
What are different types of clutches?
diff types of dry friction clutches are- 1.cone clutch 2.single plate clutch 3.multiplateclutch 4.semi centrifugal clutch 5.centrifugal clutch in addition to these there are wet type friction clutches also
Why is the clutch on your jeep not disengaging?
Broken clutch cable or clutch pressure plate fork.
What would happen if a motorbike had a centrifugal clutch?
it would work perfectly well as it did and still does on the Vincent motor cycles of the fotties and fifties their clutch was centrifgal the initail drive being taken up by a single clutch plate as then centrifugal part of the clutch came in as the revs increased
How do you change the clutch cable on a Citroen Saxo 1.6VTR?
Dry Friction Clutches :The following types of dry friction clutches will be described here :Cone ClutchSingle plate clutchMultiplate clutchSemi-centrifugal clutchCentrifugal clutchCone ClutchIn cone clutch the contact surfaces are in the form of cones . In the engaged position, the male cone is fully inside the female cone so that the friction surfaces are in complete contact. This is done by means of springs which keep the male cone pressed all the time.When the clutch is engaged, the torque is transmitted from the engine via the fly wheel and the male cone to the splined gear box shaft. For disengaging the clutch the male cone is pulled out by means of the lever system operated through the clutch pedal thereby separating the contact surfaces.Advantages:The only advantage of the clone clutch is that the normal force acting on the contact surfaces in this case is larger than the axial force, as compared to the simple single plate clutch in which the normal force acting on the contact surfaces is equal to the axial force.Disadvantages:If the angle of cone is made smaller than about 20 degree the male cone tends to bind or join in the female cone and it becomes difficult to disengage the clutch.A small amount of wear on the cone surface results in a considerable amount of the axial movement of the male cone for which it will be difficult to allow.Single Plate ClutchA simplified single page clutch is given. Friction plate is held between the flywheel and the pressure plate.There are springs (the numbers may vary, depending upon design) arranged circumferential, which provide axial force to keep the clutch is engaged position.The friction plate is mounted on a hub which is splined from inside and is thus free to slide over the gearbox shaft.Friction facing is attached to the friction plate on both sides to provide two annular friction surfaces for the transmission of power.A pedal is provided to pull the pressure plate against the spring force whenever it is required to be disengaged.Ordinarily it remains in engaged position.When the clutch pedal is pressed, the pressure plate is moved to the right against the force of the springs.This is achieved by means of a suitable linkage and a thrust bearing.With this movement of the pressure plate, the friction plate is released and the clutch is disengaged.Advantages:With the single plate clutch, gear changing is easier than with the cone clutch, because the pedal movement is less in this case.It does not suffer from disadvantages of cone clutch i.e., binding of cones etc. and hence it is more reliable.Disadvantages:As compared to cone clutch, the springs have to be more stiff and this means grater force required to be applied by the driver while disengaging.Multiplate ClutchThe multiplate clutch is an extension of single plate type where the number of frictional and the metal plates is increased.The increase in the number of friction surfaces obviously increases capacity of the clutch to transmit torque, the size remaining fixed.Alternatively, the overall diameter of the clutch is reduced for the same torque transmission as a single plate clutch.This type of clutch is, therefore, used in some heavy transport vehicles and racing cars where high torque is to be transmitted.Besides, this finds application in case of scooters and motor cycles, where space available is limited.The construction is similar to that of single plate type except that all the friction plates in this case are in two sets, i.e., one set of plates slides in grooves on the flywheel and the other one slides on splines on the pressure plate hub.Alternate plates belong to each set.
