A clutch connects a driving shaft to a driven shaft allowing the driven shaft to be engaged and disengaged without stopping the driving shaft. In vehicles, the clutch connects the engine to the transmission. The main types of clutches are friction clutches which engage two surfaces using friction. Common friction clutch types include single plate clutches using one friction plate, multi-plate clutches using multiple alternating friction and steel plates, and cone clutches using mating cone shapes. Centrifugal clutches use centrifugal force rather than springs to engage and do not require plates.
A clutch is a mechanism which enables the rotary motion of one shaft to be transmitted at will to the second shaft, whose axis is coincident with that of first. Clutch is located between the engine and gearbox. When the clutch is engaged, the power flows from the engine to the rear wheels through the transmission system and the vehicle moves when the clutch is disengaged, the power is not transmitted to the rear wheels and the vehicle stops, while the engine is still running.

8. 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 without stopping the driving
shaft. A clutch thus provides an interruptible
connection between two rotating shafts.
A popularly known application of clutch is in
automotive vehicles where it is used to connect the
engine and the gear box.
9. Functions of the clutch
To connect and disconnect the shafts
To start or stop a machine (or a rotating element)
without starting and stopping the prime mover.
To maintain constant speed, torque and power.
To reduce shocks transmitted between machine
shafts.
For automatic disconnect, quick start and stop,
gradual starts, and non-reversing and over running
functions.
10. Principles of operation of clucth
When two friction surfaces are brought in connect with
each other and pressed, they are united due to the friction
between them.
The friction between the two surfaces depends upon the
area of the surfaces, pressure applied upon them and
coefficient of friction of the surface materials.
The two surfaces can be separated and brought into
contact when required. One surface is considered as
driving member and the other as driven member.
The driving member is kept rotating. When the driven
member is brought in contact to the driving member, It is
also starts rotating.
11. Required qualities of a good
friction material
A high and uniform coefficient of friction.
The ability to withstand high temperatures, together
with good heat conductivity.
Good resilience.
High resistance to wear, scoring.
Resistance against environmental conditions, such as
moisture, salt water or fungi.
Adequate mechanical and thermal strengths.
12. Commonly used Friction
Materials
Wood
Cork
Leather
Asbestos based friction materials – asbestos
fibres, woven around brass, copper or zinc
wires. Moulded or composite type.
Powdered ( or sintered) metal friction materials
16. Let the shaft A and Disc C be revolving at some speed say N
rpm. Shaft B and disc D keyed to it are stationary, initially
when the clutch is not engaged.
Now apply some axial force W to disc D , so that it comes in
contact with Disc C.
As soon as the contact is made the force of friction between
C and D will come into play and consequently the disc D will
also start revolving
The speed of D depends upon friction force present, which in
turn is proportional to the force W applied.
If W is increased gradually , the speed of D will be increased
correspondingly till the stage comes when speed of D
becomes equal to speed of C. Then clutch is said to be fully
engaged.
17. Continue…
Let
W = axial load applied.
= coefficient of friction
R = effective mean radius of friction surface.
Then ,
T = W R
33. Multiplate Clutch
The multiplate clutch is an extension of single plate type
where the number of frictional and metal plates is
increased.
Increase in number of friction surfaces obviously increases
capacity of the clutch to transmit torque.
Alternatively, the overall diameter of the clutch is reduced
for the same torque transmission as a single plate clutch
This type of clutch is therefore used in some heavy transport
vehicles and racing cars where high torque is to be
transmitted.
This finds application in case of scooters and motorcycles,
where the space available is limited
34. • When your foot is off the pedal, the springs push the
pressure plate against the clutch disc, which in turn
presses against the flywheel. This locks the engine to the
transmission input shaft, causing them to spin at the
same speed.
• The amount of force the clutch can hold depends on the
friction between the clutch plate and the flywheel, and
how much force the spring puts on the pressure plate
35. When the clutch pedal is pressed, piston pushes on
the release fork, which presses the throw-out bearing
against the middle of the diaphragm spring. As the
middle of the diaphragm spring is pushed in, a series
of pins near the outside of the spring causes the spring
to pull the pressure plate away from the clutch disc
This releases the clutch from the spinning engine.
36. Working of Single plate clutch
Basically, the clutch needs three parts. These are the engine
flywheel, a friction disc called the clutch plate and a pressure
plate.
There are springs which provide axial force to keep the clutch
in engaged position.
When the engine is running and the flywheel is rotating, the
pressure plate also rotates as the pressure plate is attached to
the flywheel. The friction disc is located between the two .
When the driver has pushed down the clutch pedal the
clutch is released. This action forces the pressure plate to
move away from the friction disc against the force of springs.
With this movement of pressure plate , the friction plate is
released and the clutch is disengaged.
37. Advantages
• With single plate clutch , gear changing is easier than
with the cone clutch , because the pedal movement is
less in this case.
• More reliable ( As it does not suffer from disadvantage
of cone clutch , i.e. binding of cones)
38. Disadvantages
As compared to cone clutch , springs have to be more
stiff and this means greater force required to be
applied by driver while disengaging.
43. 1. Cones: female= green, male= blue
2. Shaft: male cone is sliding on splines
3. Friction material
4. Spring: brings the male cone back after using the
clutch control
5. Clutch control: separating both cones by pressing
6. Rotating direction: both direction of the axis are
possible
44. In the engaged position the friction surface are in
complete contact. This is done by means of spring
which keep the male cone pressed all the time.
When the clutch is engaged the torque is transmitted
from engine via the flywheel and the male cone to
splined gear box shaft.
For disengaging the clutch , the male cone is pulled out
by means of lever system operated through clutch
pedal thereby separating the contact surfaces.
47. Advantage
The advantage of cone clutch is that the normal force
acting on contact surface in this case is larger than
axial force( as compared to single plate clutch in
which the normal force acting on contact surfaces is
equal to the axial force)
48. Disadvantages
This type of clutch is practically obsolete because of
following reasons:
1) If the angle of cone is made less than about 20 degree,
it will be difficult to disengage the clutch.
2) A small amount of wear on the cone surface results in
considerable amount of axial movement of the male
cone for which it will be difficult to allow.
68. Centrifugal clutch
In fully centrifugal type clutches ,the springs are
eliminated altogether and only centrifugal force is
used to apply the required pressure for keeping the
clutch in engaged position
69.
70.
71. Advantages of centrifugal clutches
No separate clutch plate is required
Clutch is operated automatically depending upon
engine speed
