What is included in the car clutch three-piece set

Automotive clutch three-piece set mainly contains clutch pressure plate, clutch friction plate (clutch plate) and clutch release bearing. These three work together, so that the engine and the transmission system can be smoothly engaged and disengaged, in order to ensure the stability and safety of power transmission in the process of automobile driving. The following is a detailed introduction to the three-piece set and its functional role, and a summary.

Clutch three pieces of detailed introduction and functional role

1. Clutch pressure plate

Function:

Clutch pressure plate is the most important part of the clutch assembly, which is responsible for transferring the engine power to the transmission or drive shaft.

The quality and performance of the pressure plate directly determines whether the clutch installation is shivering or not, whether it is heavy or not, as well as the length of time it will be used.

When the clutch is engaged, the pressure plate enables the engine power to be smoothly transferred to the transmission by pressing the clutch disc.

Clutch Pressure Plate Role:

The clutch pressure disc is a piece of metal disc installed between the engine flywheel and the transmission input shaft. Its main function is:

- Transmit power: When the clutch is engaged, the pressure plate transmits the power generated by the engine to the transmission through friction.

- Separate power: When the clutch is disengaged, the pressure disc releases the pressure on the clutch disc, cutting off the power transmission.

The clutch pressure plate is usually equipped with a spring or torsion damper to reduce shock and vibration when shifting gears.

2. Clutch Friction Plate (Clutch Disc)

Functional role:

The clutch disc is the friction plate in the clutch system, responsible for making contact with the engine flywheel and transmitting power.

The quality of the clutch disc will determine the overall service life of the clutch and the effect of vibration and noise reduction.

Clutch discs are divided into active discs and friction discs. Active discs are usually thin and made of metal (often called ‘iron discs’), while friction discs may be made of iron, aluminium, or plastic wood, etc., with asbestos material planted on them to increase friction performance.

3. Clutch Release Bearings

Functional role:

Clutch release bearing is an important part of the clutch release system, and its quality determines the release efficiency of the clutch system and the wear rate on the pressure disc release.

When the driver depresses the clutch pedal, the release bearing pushes the pressure plate and the clutch disc to separate, thus disconnecting the connection between the engine and the driveline and realising the disengaged state of the clutch. The design of the release bearing permits quick and easy shifting of the gears and reduces the driver's effort in operation.

Push Pressure Plate: When the driver depresses the clutch pedal, the release bearing is pushed, which in turn pushes the clutch pressure plate, causing it to release pressure on the clutch disc and achieve power separation.

The smooth operation of the release bearing is essential for fast and accurate clutch disengagement.

Summarise

The automotive clutch three-piece set - clutch pressure plate, clutch friction plate (clutch disc) and clutch release bearing - together form the core part of the clutch system. By working together, they achieve smooth engagement and disengagement between the engine and the driveline, ensuring the stability and safety of power transmission in the course of automobile driving.

Among them, the clutch pressure plate is responsible for transmitting and cutting off power, the clutch plate realises power transmission through friction, and the clutch release bearing is responsible for controlling the movement of the pressure plate to realise the separation of the clutch. These three components are indispensable and together constitute an important part of the automotive clutch system.

The performance and co-ordination of these three components directly affect the driving experience of the vehicle and the service life of the clutch. Therefore, proper maintenance and regular replacement of the three clutch components are essential to keep the vehicle in good operating condition.
