How automotive clutches work? Function, Types, working principle, component in clutches
What are Clutches ? or What is clutch?
Clutches are simply defined, that it is a mechanical devices used for engaging or dis-engaging the engine and transmission system of the vehicle.
So the 2nd questions in mind
Why necessity of clutches in automotive automobile vehicle
Necessity and function of clutch.. OR FUNCTION OF CLUTCHES IN CAR
- The motion of crankshaft is transmitted to gearbox through clutch.
- Clutch is device used to transmission system of motor vehicle to disengage aur engage the engine with transmission system.
- therefore the clutch is located between the engine and gearbox.
- So here interesting situation when vehicle is moving on road so let's start,
- When clutch is engage the power from the engine to rear wheels through transmission system and vehicle moves on the road.
- In normal condition clutch is always remain in engage position.
What happen when clutch is disengaged position can you answer please in comment it..
I also given the answer when clutch is disengaged position power is not transmitted to rear wheels, vehicle is stop but while engine is still running position.
Working principle of clutch: or Clutch working principle::
Clutch work on principle of friction. Whenever to friction surfaces are contact with each other and press the unit due to to friction between them and revolve as single unit.
So this is Clutch working principle..
Requirement of clutch, what is requirement of clutch?
- Torque transmission
- gradual engagements
- heat dissipation
- dynamic balancing
- vibration damping
- easy in operation lightness
- Size
- Torque transmission
It should be easily translate maximum power to engine because to improve efficiency of engine.
- Gradual engagement
Akhilesh should be easily engage or disengage for to avoid sudden jerking moment whenever requirement
- Heat Dissipation
Large amount of heat is generated due to the the friction of clutches therefore it should be easily dissipated heat quickly.
- Dynamic balancing
Vehicle speed is very high therefore the clutch should be easily balance in position.
- Easy in operation
It should be easily operate whatever condition.
- Lightness
- It should be light in weight available
- Should be free from vibration and damping
Requirement of ideal clutch system
gradual engagement of clutch.
Torque transmission should be large .
clutch should have quick heat dissipation capacity.
It should be easily dynamically balance.
clutch should have adjustment to free pedal play .
it should be easily operate in condition.
It should be free from vibration and damping.
here is a some requirement of ideal requirement of clutch system

Component of clutch::
 |
| Component of clutch or Parts of clutch |
The main component of clutch
- Clutch withdraw mechanism
- Clutch plate
- mesh lining
- pressure plate
- cover spring
- line
- rivets
- hub
- Clutch withdraw mechanism
Clutch withdraw mechanism includes the foot pedal,clutch housing,levers etc. because of it is necessary to put and hold the clutch in disengaged position clutch withdraw mechanism is necessary.
When your foot pedal is press the housing disengage the clutch and when the the manual pressure from the foot pedal is remove the house income to its original position and clothes is engage again due to that clutch withdrawal mechanism is where is necessary in clutch component.
- Clutch plate.
It is made by the segment of spring and the material is Steel in series around the central hub and and and the surfaces of friction are riveted to the segment with the help of helical spring are provided to damp out of vibration.
When to clutch plate are engage it's create a large amount of heat produced due to the friction in clutch and to dissipate heat effectively the clutch plate may be perforated and friction lining is attached to the cushioning spring.
- Clutch lining
It is the fictional material used between the the driving and driven faces it is made of thin layer of friction material riveted on both side of clutch plate.
- Requirement Clutch lining should have ::
- High coefficient of friction
- It should have high resistance to heat.
- it should be good wear resistance.
- it should be cheap and easy to manufacture.
- Pressure plate
Main function of chocolate is is to provide uniform Excel pressure to clutch plate.
- Cover
is made of steel bracing bolted onto of flywheel which houses the pressure plate assembly.
It should have holes for dissipation of heat.
Types of clutches::
- Single-plate clutch
- Multi-plate clutch
- Cone clutch
- Centrifugal clutch
- Electromagnetic clutch
- Hydraulic clutch
