What is the car clutch pressure plate
Automotive clutch pressure plate is an important part of manual transmission vehicle clutch, located between the engine and the transmission system. Its main role is to transfer the power of the engine to the drive train through contact with the clutch plate and drive the vehicle forward. When the driver presses down the clutch pedal, the pressure plate is released and the power transmission is cut off. When the clutch pedal is released, the pressure disc compacts the clutch disc to achieve power transfer .
The structure and function of clutch pressure plate
structure : The clutch pressure plate is a metal disc, usually connected with the flywheel by screws, and the clutch plate is located between the pressure plate and the flywheel. There are friction plates on the platter, made of asbestos and copper wire, which have a wear resistance .
features :
power transmission : when the car needs engine power, the pressure disc tightly presses the clutch plate, transfers the engine power to the transmission system, and drives the car forward .
separation function : when the clutch pedal is pressed down, the spring is pressed by the press claw of the press plate of the separation bearing, so that the gap between the clutch plate and the plate surface of the separation pressure plate is generated, and the separation is realized.
cushioning and damping : when the impact load is encountered during driving, the clutch pressure plate can effectively absorb and disperse the impact force, protect the engine and transmission .
Maintenance and replacement
The friction plate of the clutch pressure plate has the minimum allowable thickness, and it must be replaced when the driving distance is long. In order to reduce the loss of the clutch disc, avoid half stepping on the clutch pedal, because this will make the clutch disc in the semi-clutch state, increase wear . In addition, regular inspection and maintenance of the clutch pressure plate is also the key to ensure its normal operation .
The main role of automobile clutch pressure plate includes the following aspects :
Ensure transmission efficiency : clutch pressure plate and flywheel, clutch plate and other parts together to form the clutch, its function is to ensure that the car in the start, shift when the power can be smoothly transferred or cut off .
Damping : when the car encounters the impact load during the driving process, the clutch pressure plate can effectively absorb and disperse the impact force, protect the engine and transmission from damage .
adjust power transmission : by adjusting the gap of the clutch pressure plate, the power transmission can be controlled, so that the car can maintain good power performance in different working conditions .
protect engine : clutch pressure plate can protect the engine from overload and prevent damage to engine and transmission mechanical parts .
Ensure smooth start and shift : The clutch pressure plate is combined and separated from the clutch plate to realize the transmission and interruption of engine power. During starting and shifting, the pressure plate is separated from the clutch plate to disconnect the power output of the engine, facilitating smooth shifting operation .
Reduce torsional vibration impact : clutch pressure plate can reduce torsional vibration impact, reduce transmission system vibration and impact, improve driving comfort .
The composition and working principle of clutch pressure plate :
Composition : clutch pressure plate is an important structure on the clutch, usually by the friction plate, spring and pressure plate body composed. The friction sheet is made of abrasion-resistant asbestos and copper wire with a minimum thickness .
Working principle : under normal circumstances, the pressure plate and the clutch plate are closely combined to form a whole. When the clutch pedal is pressed down, the bearing pressure plate press claw is separated, the spring is compressed, so that the gap between the clutch plate and the pressure plate plate is formed, and the separation is realized. When the clutch pedal is released, the pressure plate is reunited with the clutch plate to restore the power transmission .
