1.Peripheral spring clutch
The cost of a peripheral clutch is relatively low, the manufacturing process is not that complicated, and the coil spring has a linear torque. However, this type of clutch has a larger axial size, heavier operating force, and more complicated adjustments. If the separation lever is not adjusted well, it will either slip or fail to separate. What’s more terrible is that if the lever is not adjusted to a flat surface, it will tremble when starting, like chaff, and the coil spring cannot be guaranteed to be used for a period of time. Finally, the elastic force remained uniform, and it needed to be adjusted from time to time during use, which was troublesome, so it was slowly replaced by a diaphragm spring clutch.
- Diaphragm spring clutch
The diaphragm spring clutch is a clutch form that has become very popular in recent years. The diaphragm spring itself serves as both a compression spring and a release lever, which reduces the number of parts and the weight. The clutch structure is greatly simplified and shortened significantly. The dimensions between the clutch shafts. The diaphragm spring has good nonlinear characteristics, which can make the friction plate wear to the limit, and the pressing force can still maintain little change, achieving the purpose of adjustment-free. At the same time, it reduces the pedal force when disengaging the clutch, making the operation easy.
