1.Function
A magnetic clutch is driven by engine through the drive belt. The magnetic clutch is a device to connect the engine and the compressor. The magnetic clutch stops and drives the compressor as Read more Automotive Air Condition System Magnetic Clutch

Overrunning clutch
<1>While the engine cranks
When the clutch gear (outer) revolves faster than the spline shaft (inner), the clutch rollers are forced to the narrower section, and so the revolving force of the Read more Overrunning clutch
Automotive Clutch Construction
Clutch Release Cylinder
The clutch release cylinder moves the piston with hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder and operates the release fork through the push rod.
Self-adjusting release cylinder
Hydraulic Control Unit
The clutches and brakes that operate the planetary gear unit are operated by hydraulic pressure. The hydraulic control unit generates and adjusts this hydraulic pressure and switches its passage. The illustration Read more Hydraulic Control Unit
What is Clutches (C1 and C2) Construction?
The clutches connecting and disconnecting the power are C1 and C2. The clutch C1 acts to transmit power from the torque converter to the front ring gear via the input shaft. The discs and plates are lined Read more What is Clutches (C1 and C2) Construction?
What is Lock-up Clutch Mechanism?
The lock-up clutch mechanism connects the engine power directly and mechanically to the automatic transaxle. Since the torque converter uses the fluid flow to transmit the power indirectly, there are power Read more What is Lock-up Clutch Mechanism?
Automotive Clutch Cover Parts and Descriptions
The primary purpose of the clutch cover is to connect and disconnect engine power. It must be well balanced while it is rotating, and radiate heat efficiently at the time of clutch engagement. The clutch Read more Automotive Clutch Cover Parts and Descriptions
Stator One-way Clutch Function
The direction of the fluid entering the stator from the turbine runner depends on the difference in the rotational speeds between the pump impeller and turbine runner.
1. When the rotation speed difference Read more Stator One-way Clutch Function
Outline of Automotive Clutch
The clutch is located between the engine and the manual transaxle (manual transmission) and connects and disconnects the engine power by operating the clutch pedal. Thus, the clutch can gradually transmit Read more Outline of Automotive Clutch
Stall Point and Clutch Point
1. Stall point
The stall point refers to the situation in which the turbine runner is motionless. The difference in rotation speeds between the pump impeller and the turbine runner is at a maximum. Read more Stall Point and Clutch Point
