diaphragam clutch is small in size as compare to spring clutch and it transmits more torque as diaphragm exerts more force as copare to springs...... therefore it is advantageous to use diaphragm clutch intead of spring clutch... more compact means of storing energy. thus compact design results in smaller clutch housing......... less affected by centrifugal force..can withstand higher rotational speeds... diaphragm acts as both clamping spring and release levers..therefore many extra parts like struts, eye bolts, levers etc can be eliminated....
The clutch centre plate with spring hub help in holding the spring leaf spring in place in a vehicle.
how to install a spring clutch on a murray mower
the return spring on the clutch pedal assembly must be replaced.
For the brake it's pretty obvious. You don't want the brake to stay on when you aren't braking, so you need the spring to push it back. For the clutch it's the same but in reverse. You want the clutch to stay on, except for when you're depressing the lever. The spring keeps the clutch on, until you use the lever to overcome the spring. Then when you release the lever the spring kicks in again, engaging the clutch.
A spring is used to hold together the clutch and the flywheel.

Adjustments is behind top of the clutch pedal. Clutch spring should be under the car on the transmission closest to the motor block, next to the slave cylinder.
The diaphragm spring in an automotive clutch system serves as a pressure plate that engages and disengages the clutch. When the clutch pedal is pressed, the diaphragm spring flexes, allowing the clutch disc to separate from the flywheel, which disengages the engine from the transmission. When the pedal is released, the spring returns to its original shape, re-engaging the clutch. This design allows for smoother operation and reduces the effort required to operate the clutch compared to traditional coil springs.
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.
