    Clutch is a mechanism located between the engine and transmission that connects or disconnects the engine from the drivetrain. It uses friction to gradually engage and disengage the power transfer. The clutch allows the driver to start and stop the vehicle without stopping the engine and to change gears smoothly. It operates on the principle that two surfaces in contact will transmit motion via friction. A clutch connects the engine's crankshaft to the transmission's input shaft through a flywheel and pressure plate that can engage or disengage the clutch disc or plate.

    WHAT IS CLUTCH Clutch

    • Clutch is a part of Transmission system


    • Clutch is a mechanism which enables the rotary motion of
    one shaft to be transmitted when desired to a second shaft
    • A Clutch is a machine member used to connect the driving
    shaft to a driven shaft, so that the driven shaft may be started
    or stopped when ever needed, without stopping the driving
    shaft.
    • Clutch is located in between engine and the transmission
    system
    1
    • Found on vehicles with manually shifted transmissions
    Clutch
    WHY DO WE NEED CLUTCH
    • Because engine run all the time but wheel don’t
    • To stop car without killing the engine
    • Transfer the power from engine to wheel
    • Gradual engagement without sudden jerks
    FUNCTION OF CLUTCH
    • Torque transmission
    • Gradual engagement
    • Heat dissipation
    • To absorb shock and vibration during power transmission
    • Disengage engine from transmission
    2
    • Release engine from transmission during gear shifts
    Clutch
    Principle of Operation
    The clutch works on the principle of friction.
    When two surfaces are brought in contact with each other and
    pressed they are united due to friction between them.
     The friction depends on area of contact, pressure applied upon
    them and coefficient of friction on the surface of the material.
    The two surfaces can be separated and brought in contact when
    required.
     One is considered driving member and other driven member.
    The driving member is kept rotating. When the driven member is
    brought in contact with the driving member it also start rotating. 3

    Types of Clutches
    1. Friction Clutches:
     Single plate clutch
     Multi plate clutch
    • Wet
    A wet clutch is operated in an oil batch
    • Dry
    does not use oil.
     Cone clutch
    • External
    • Internal
    2. Centrifugal Clutch 4
    Working of a clutch
    Clutch for a drive shaft: The clutch disc (center) spins with
    the flywheel (left). To disengage, the lever is pulled (black
    arrow), causing a white pressure plate (right) to disengage
    the green clutch disc from turning the drive shaft, which
    turns within the thrust-bearing ring of the lever. Never will all
    3 rings connect, with no gaps.

    Requirements of a clutch
    1. Torque transmission.---The clutch must be able to
    transmit maximum torque of the engine
    2. Gradual engagement----The clutch should engage
    gradually to avoid sudden jerks
    3. Heat dissipation---The clutch should be able to
    dissipate large quantity of heat which is
    generated during the clutch operation due to
    friction
    4. Dynamic balancing---The clutch should be
    dynamically balanced. This is particularly
    required incase of high speed engine clutches.

    Requirements of a clutch
    5. Vibration damping ---The clutch should have suitable
    mechanism to damp vibrations and to eliminate
    noise produced during power transmitted.
    6. Size---The clutch should be as small as possible so
    that it occupies minimum space
    7. Inertia -- clutch rotating parts should have minimum
    inertia
    8. Clutch free pedal play – to reduce effective clamping
    load on carbon thrust bearing
    9. Ease of operation – as clutch transmits higher torque
    its disengagement should not tiresome the driver
    10. Lightness 11

    A clutch is a mechanical device that provides for the transmission of power (and therefore
    usually motion) from one component (the driving member) to another (the driven member)
    when engaged, but can be disengaged. • Clutches are used whenever the transmission of
    power or motion must be controlled either in amount or over time (e.g., electric screwdrivers
    limit how much torque is transmitted through use of a clutch; clutches control whether
    automobiles transmit engine power to the wheels).

    When the clutch is in engaged position, the engine power or rotary motion of engine crankshaft
    is transmitted to gear box and then to wheels. When clutch is disengaged, the engine power
    does not reach to gear box (and to wheels) although engine is running. Clutch is also used to
    allow shifting or changing of gears when vehicle is running. For shifting gears, clutch is first
    disengaged then gear is shifted and then clutch is engaged. Clutch has to be disengaged to stop
    the vehicle and also at the time of idling.

     • It operates on the principle of friction. When two surfaces are brought in contact and are
    held against each other due to friction between them, they can be used to transmit power.
    If one is rotated, then other also rotates. One surface is connected to engine and other to
    the transmission system of automobile. Thus, clutch is nothing but a combination of two
    friction surfaces.

    22
    A single plate is commonly used in cars and light vehicles. It has only one clutch plate which is
    mounted on the splines of the clutch shaft. A flywheel is mounted on the crankshaft of the
    engine. A pressure plate is connected to the flywheel through the bolts and clutch springs. It is
    free to slide on the clutch shaft with the movement of clutch pedal. When clutch is in engaged
    position, the clutch plate remains gripped between flywheel and pressure plate. Friction linings
    are provided on both the sides of clutch plate. On one side clutch plate is in touch with flywheel
    and on other side with pressure
