Clutch

Clutch system DI
Overview
1. The clutch is installed in the clutch house between the engine and transmission. The clutch assembly is EG
mounted on the rear plane of flywheel. The clutch consists of the clutch disc assembly and clutch plate
assembly. TR
2. The clutch installed is diaphragm spring clutch which is single piece dry friction clutch. The
diaphragm clamps the spring. The clutch disc assembly has torsional absorber and vibration
AX
absorbing damper. The clutch disc uses high-quality environmental asbestos-free friction material.
3. The clutch is the control mechanism for transferring and separating power It transfers the power from
the generator to the transmission so as to smooth combine the engine power with the transmission device or FR
separate them temporarily to realize the start, parking and shifting of vehicle.
4. When the vehicle starts, the assemblies of clutch leaf and plate gradually get together The engine ST
power transfers to the vehicle transmission system through the friction among the flywheel, assemblies of
clutch leaf and plate to start the vehicle. BR
5. During driving, the driver can step down or release the clutch pedal as needed so as to temporarily
separate and gradually combine the assembly of clutch leaf and assembly of clutch plate, which cuts off or BW
transfer the engine power to the transmission.
6. When shifting, the clutch can temporarily cut off the dynamic transmission between the driving
EL
system and engine to reduce the impact between the gears during the shifting to realize smooth shifting.
7. Clutch has the following components:
a. Clutch pedal assembly

b. Clutch pressure plate and driven plate assembly
c. Clutch master cylinder

d. Clutch slave cylinder
