Ngamamodeli okuhambisa ngesandla, i-clutch iyingxenye ebalulekile yesistimu yamandla emoto. Inesibopho sokunqamula nokuxhuma amandla nenjini. Uma ushayela emigwaqweni yasemadolobheni noma emigwaqweni eyinkimbinkimbi, i-clutch ibe enye yezingxenye ezisetshenziswa kakhulu. Ukusetshenziswa okuhle noma okubi kwe-clutch kukhombisa ngokuqondile izinga lokushayela futhi kudlala indima ekuvikeleni imoto. Ungayisebenzisa kanjani i-clutch ngendlela efanele futhi uqonde umgomo we-clutch ukusebenzisa i-clutch ukuxazulula izinkinga ezimeni ezikhethekile yilokho okufanele wonke umshayeli oshayela imodeli yokuhambisa ngesandla.
I-clutch iqukethe i-friction plate, i-spring plate, i-pressure plate kanye ne-power output shaft. Itholakala phakathi kwenjini no-gearbox. Isetshenziselwa ukudlulisa i-torque egcinwe ku-flywheel yenjini ku-gearbox ukuqinisekisa ukuthi imoto idlulisa inani elifanele lamandla okushayela kanye ne-torque esondweni lokushayela ngaphansi kwezimo ezihlukene zokushayela. Iyingxenye ye-powertrain. Uma{4}}kuxhunywe ingxenye encane, isiphetho sokufakwa kwamandla kanye nesiphetho sokuphuma kwamandla kwe-clutch kuvunyelwe ukuthi kube nomehluko wesivinini, okungukuthi, umehluko wesivinini usetshenziselwa ukufeza ukudluliswa kwenani elifanele lamandla.
I-clutch ihlukaniswe ngezimo ezintathu zokusebenza, okungukuthi,-ezingaxhunywanga lapho i-clutch icindezelwa, ixhunywe ngokugcwele lapho i-clutch ingacindezelwa, futhi i-semi{1}}exhunywa lapho i-clutch icindezelwa kancane. Lapho imoto iqala, umshayeli uyayinyathela i-clutch, futhi ukunyakaza kwe-clutch pedal kudonsela ipuleti lokucindezela emuva, okungukuthi, ipuleti lokucindezela liyahlukaniswa ne-friction plate. Ngalesi sikhathi, i-pressure plate kanye ne-flywheel axhumene ngokuphelele, futhi akukho ukungqubuzana okuhlobene. Uma imoto ishayela ngokujwayelekile, i-pressure plate icindezelwa ngokuqinile ku-friction plate ye-flywheel. Ngalesi sikhathi, ukungqubuzana phakathi kwepuleti le-pressure kanye nepuleti le-friction inkulu kakhulu, futhi i-shaft yokufaka kanye ne-output shaft igcina ukungqubuzana okuhlobene, futhi kokubili kunejubane elifanayo. Esokugcina yisimo-esixhumekile se-clutch, futhi ukungqubuzana phakathi kwe-pressure plate ne-friction plate kungaphansi kwesimo sokuxhuma okugcwele. Ngalesi sikhathi, kune-sliding friction state phakathi kwe-clutch pressure plate kanye ne-friction plate ku-flywheel, isivinini se-flywheel sikhulu kunesivinini se-output shaft, futhi ingxenye yamandla aphuma ku-flywheel adluliselwa ku-gearbox. Kulesi simo, injini nesondo lokushayela lilingana nesimo sokuxhuma okuthambile.
Ngokuvamile, i-clutch idlala indima lapho imoto iqala futhi ishintsha amagiya. Ngalesi sikhathi, kunomehluko wejubane phakathi komshini wokuqala nowesibili ka-gearbox. Amandla enjini kufanele anqanyulwe ku-shaft yokuqala ngaphambi kokuba i-synchronizer ikwazi ukugcina ijubane le-shaft yokuqala lihambisana ne-shaft yesibili. Ngemuva kokuthi igiya selibanjiwe, i-shaft yokuqala ihlanganiswa namandla enjini nge-clutch ukuze iqhubeke nokudlulisa amandla. Kukhona futhi idivayisi ye-buffer ebalulekile ku-clutch. Iqukethe ama-disc amabili afana nama-flywheels abhekene namanye, anemifantu engunxande kuma-disc kanye neziphethu ezihlelwe emiseleni. Lapho ehlangabezana nomthelela omubi, iziphethu phakathi kwamadiski womabili zisebenza ngokunwebeka ukuze zivimbele izisusa zangaphandle futhi zivikele ngempumelelo injini ne-clutch.
Phakathi kwezinsiza ezihlukahlukene ze-clutch, amandla e-press plate spring, i-friction coefficient ye-friction plate, ububanzi be-clutch, indawo ye-friction plate kanye nenani lama-clutches yizici ezibalulekile ezinquma ukusebenza kwe-clutch. Lapho ukuqina kwentwasahlobo kukhulu, kuya phezulu i-coefficient ye-friction plate, ubukhulu be-clutch bukhulu, kanye nokusebenza okungcono kwe-clutch.
