DAMPER SPRINGS: Describes a set of springs in a clutch plate that provide a cushion in the event of the vehicle hitting a sudden bump. DIAPHRAGM SPRING CLUTCH: Describes a standard clutch used in most vehicles fitted with manual transmission in which the diaphragm spring keeps the pressure plate in contact with the friction plate. DIAPHRAGM SPRING: Describes a type of disc-shaped spring tapering fingers pointed inward used in some clutches. When the clutch is engaged, the Diaphragm spring forces the pressure plate against the clutch disc. ELECTROMAGNETIC CLUTCH: Describes any clutch in which a magnetic force is used to hold the drive-in engagement, such as that in the compressor drive of an air-conditioning system. FRICTION CLUTCH: Describes a conventional clutch that transmits the power of the drive through mechanical friction, as opposed to fluid coupling FRICTION LINING: Describes the wear-resistant friction material used for clutch linings. FRICTION PLATE: Describes a driven plate of a clutch to which the friction lining is attached. HUB PLATE: Describes the central element of a clutch driven plate. INTERMEDIATE DRIVE PLATE: Describes a disc placed between the driven plates in a twin-plate clutch. LOCK-UP CLUTCH: Describes a clutch that can be automatically engaged in a lock-up torque converter to prevent slipping losses. MULTIPLE DISC CLUTCH: Describes a clutch fitted with several clutch discs, allowing for a decreased bell housing while still maintaining efficiency in automatic transmissions or power distribution systems of 4WD vehicles, ONE WAY CLUTCH: Describes a mechanical clutch that transmits power in one direction of rotation only. OVERRUNNING CLUTCH STARTER DRIVE: Describes a mechanically engaged starter drive that, when the engine starts, allows the overrunning clutch to operate until the drive is mechanically disengaged. ROLLER CLUTCH: Describes a type of clutch operated through a series of rollers placed in ramps, providing drive power in one direction, although it is liable to slip if performed in the opposite direction. SINGLE-PLATE CLUTCH: Describes a standard form of clutch with a single driven plate. THROWOUT BEARING: Describes a part of the clutch activated by the pedal that allows the clutch to engage and disengage. If a vehicle idles in gear with the clutch pedal depressed, the clutch will wear out prematurely instead of shifting to neutral gear. TWIN-PLATE CLUTCH: Describes a type of clutch fitted with two driven plates separated by an intermediate drive plate, producing higher torque capacity. WET CLUTCH: Describes a type of friction clutch fitted with an oil bath to dissipate heat. Left Right pause-play ≡ Start ×︎ Back
