Do You Know The Composition Of The Clutch Cover

  The clutch cover is cold-formed from a 2.5-4mm thick steel sheet. It is then aligned relative to the flywheel axis with the aid of dowels, collars, or bolts.

  The clutch pressure plate is also made of cast iron. The clutch plates, as well as all other rotating parts of the clutch, have a flywheel effect. The plate becomes stiffer to distribute the pressure more evenly. Provides more heat capacity and heat dissipation surface.

  The pressure plate must be driven from the flywheel by a number of tempered spring steel strips, each riveted to the cover at one end and bolted to the pressure plate at the other end. The straps are equally spaced and extend tangentially.

  Platen assembly:

  The two main types of platen assemblies are coil spring assemblies and an assembly with a diaphragm springs.

  In a coil spring clutch, the pressure plate is supported by a number of coil springs and, together with them, is housed in a pressed steel cover that is bolted to the flywheel. The spring pushes against the lid. Diaphragm spring pressure plate assemblies are widely used in most modern vehicles. A diaphragm spring is a thin piece of metal that yields when pressure is applied.

  Diaphragm springs are convex or disc-shaped in the unloaded state. Clipping the clutch to the flywheel flattens the spring and provides the necessary thrust on the pressure plate.

  Advantages of diaphragm spring clutches:

  - less pedal effort required,

  - lighter weight,

  - reduce disengagement efforts,

  - reduce rotational imbalance,

  - uniform distribution of radial forces,

  - Suitable for very high engine speeds, maintaining constant spring thrust and precise balance,

  - No need for a separate release lever, which improves release efficiency

  - Fewer parts required,

  - the spring load remains approximately constant as the facing wears,

  - Compact design, (reduced clutch clearance limitation and clutch mass due to overlapping functions of the compression spring and release lever.
