This document provides an overview of clutches, including their components, types, workings, equations, and materials. It describes the purpose of clutches as allowing the engine to disengage from the transmission for gear changes and stopping while also providing smooth engagement. The main components of a clutch are identified as the flywheel, clutch disk, clutch hub and damper assembly, and clutch cover assembly. Three common types of clutches are discussed: dog clutches, belt clutches, and centrifugal clutches. The working of a typical clutch is explained in steps. Equations for calculating torque and axial force in clutches are presented. Finally, examples of materials used in clutch construction are given, such as organic materials, Kev

- 18. 18 DOG CLUTCH A dog clutch is a type of clutch that couples two rotating shafts or other rotating components not by friction but by interference. The two parts of the clutch are designed such that one will push the other, causing both to rotate at the same speed and will never slip. Utilized in automobile manual transmissions.
- 19. 19 BELT CLUTCH Engine power is transmitted via a set of belts that are slack when the engine is idling, but an idler pulley can tighten the belts to increase friction between the belts and the pulleys. Used on agricultural equipment, lawn mowers, tillers, and snow blowers.
- 20. 20 CENTRIFUGAL CLUTCH This clutch system employs centrifugal force to automatically engage the clutch when the engine rpm rises above a threshold and to automatically disengage the clutch when the engine rpm falls low enough. A centrifugal clutch is used in some vehicles (e.g., mopeds) and also in other applications where the speed of the engine defines the state of the clutch, for example, in a chainsaw.
- 21. 21 WORKING OF A CLUTCH
- 22. 22 STEP-WISE WORKING OF A CLUTCH When the clutch pedal is depressed, the "Throw-out bearing" pushes the pressure plate's release fingers.1 | The pressure plate pulls away from the clutch disc, disengaging the clutch, thus interrupting power flow 2 | When the clutch pedal is released and the clutch is fully engaged, the release bearing is normally stationary and does not rotate with the pressure plate. 3 |
- 23. 23 STEP-WISE WORKING OF A CLUTCH -2 Clutch operation is accomplished either mechanically or with a hydraulic pressure system.4 | If a vehicle has a mechanically operated linkage, it will incorporate either a shaft-and-lever linkage arrangement or a cable. 5 | 6 | Systems that are made up of linkages, levers and pivot points are found primarily on older vehicles.
