Primarily clutch friction plates perforated for cooling. In automatic transmissions and other wet clutches, the holes distribute oil. In both wet and dry clutches, the holes also allow wear particles to “escape” the friction surface and to get them out of the way.
It sandwiches the clutch friction plate to the flywheel. The flywheel is connected to the engine, the friction plate is connected to the gearbox. Strong springs inside the cover plate hold the friction plate firmly to the flywheel. When the clutch lever is operated, springs in the cover plate are compressed, thus releasing the pressure on the friction plate, disengaging the gearbox from the engine.
The pressure plate which forces the friction disc against the flywheel by means of spring plates. Pressing the clutch pedal down forces the pressure plate away from the friction disc and power transfer from engine to transmission is broken.
The. Cathode plate consists of small holes known as perforated cathode plate
the input shaft has splines on it which connect to the clutch friction plate.
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
when the friction plate is pressed by the pressure plate a torsional vibration is developed in order to dampen this vibration torsional springs are provided in the spring plate this springs are also called damper spring.
Get car up to about 15 miles an hour in fourth gear. Dip the clutch untile slip occurs. Then build revs and release clutch at the same time. If revs continue to build then the clutch plate friction lininhs are worn and it is time for a new clutch.
Clutch Slip can be caused by a couple of things but the main causes include a worn clutch plate, oil contamination on the friction plate itself, insufficient free-play and finally worn or seized operating mechanism.
yes you do use a spring plate, due to the fact of the amount of fricion the disc will undertake.
To increase torque through the driven plate, you can adjust the friction material or increase the number of friction surfaces on the plate. Additionally, increasing the pressure on the driven plate by adjusting the clutch mechanism can also help increase torque.
To reduce friction while disengaged so it can stop spinning.
