WHAT IS CLUTCHES ?•A Clutch is a mechanical device that engages and disengages the power transmission , especially from driving shaft to driven shaft.
•In the simplest application, clutches connect and disconnect two rotating shafts (drive shafts or line shafts). In these devices, one shaft is typically attached to an engine or other power unit (the driving member) while the other shaft (the driven member) provides output power for work.

SINGLE PLATE CLUTCH
USED IN CARS AND LIGHT VEHICLES.
IT HAS ONLY ONE CLUTCH PLATE WHICH IS MOUNTED ON
THE SPLINES OF THE CLUTCH SHAFT.
WHEN CLUTCH IS IN ENGAGED POSITION, THE CLUTCH
PLATE REMAINS GRIPPED BETWEEN FLYWHEEL AND
PRESSURE PLATE. FRICTION LININGS ARE PROVIDED ON BOTH
THE SIDES OF CLUTCH PLATE.

•R1=External radius of clutch plate
•R2=internal radius of the clutch plate

MULTIPLATE CLUTCH
Multi-plate clutch consists of more than one clutch plates
contrary to single plate clutch which consists of only one plate.
Friction surfaces are made in case of multi-plate clutch. Due to
increased number of friction surfaces, a multi-plate clutch can
transmit large torque.

Multiplate Clutch Notes:•In case of new clutch ,the intensity of pressure is uniform along the surface of clutch but in case of old clutch uniform theory is more correct.
•For single plate clutch normally both sides of the plate are effective .there for single plate clutch has two pairs of contacting surface i.e. n=2.
•In actual practice, usually the theory of uniform wear is used in analysis of clutch.
•Intensity of pressure is maximum at the inner radius R2 of the friction or contact surface,
•Intensity of pressure is minimum at the inner radius R1 of the friction or contact surface,

CONE CLUTCH
CONE CLUTCH
• A cone clutch serves the same purpose as a disk or plate clutch. However, instead of mating two spinning disks, the cone clutch uses two conical surfaces to transmit friction and torque. The cone clutch transfers a higher torque than plate or disk clutches of the same size due to the wedging action and increased surface area.
CONE CLUTCH
• Cone clutches are generally now only used in low peripheral speed applications although they were once common in automobiles and other combustion engine transmissions. They are usually now confined to very specialist transmissions in racing, rallying, or in extreme off-road vehicles, although they are common in power boats.

CENTRIFUGAL CLUTCH
CENTRIFUGAL CLUTCH
• A centrifugal clutch works on the principle of centrifugal force.
• The clutch's purpose is to disengage when the engine is idling so that the chain does not move .
• These clutches are particularly useful in internal combustion engines, which can not be started under load.
•The clutch consists of three parts:
•An outer drum that turns freely - This drum includes a sprocket that engages the chain. When the drum turns, the chain turns. •A centre shaft attached directly to the engine's crankshaft - If the engine is turning, so is the shaft. •A pair of cylindrical clutch weights attached to the centre shaft, along with a spring that keeps them retracted against the shaft
CENTRIFUGAL CLUTCH
• There are several advantages to a centrifugal clutch
• It is automatic. (In a car with a manual transmission, you need a clutch pedal. A centrifugal clutch doesn't.)
• It slips automatically to avoid stalling the engine. (In a car, the driver must slip the clutch.)
• Once the engine is spinning fast enough, there is no slip in the clutch.
• It lasts forever.
