Working principle of clutch pressure plate

Power transmission:
When the engine is running, the flywheel drives the pressure plate to rotate, and the pressure plate compresses the clutch plate through spring pressure, transmitting power to the gearbox.
The friction between the friction plate and the clutch plate ensures the continuity of power transmission.
Power cut-off:
When the clutch pedal is pressed, the release bearing pushes the pressure plate backwards, causing the pressure plate to separate from the clutch plate and cutting off the power connection between the engine and the transmission.
At this time, the gearbox can shift without load to avoid gear shifting.
Buffer protection:
There is a spring buffering mechanism designed between the pressure plate and the flywheel, which can absorb the impact force during rapid acceleration and braking, protecting the engine and clutch components.
