Types of Clutches Positive clutch Friction clutch Plate or disc clutch Single plate clutch Multi plate clutch Cone clutch Centrifugal clutch What is clutch? Clutch is a mechanical device use for engage or disengage (connect or disconnect) the driven shaft from driving shaft whenever required. Power is transmit from driving shaft to driven shaft. Clutch is widely used in automobile, in a transmission system while changing a gear ratio. It is one example of clutch uses like this clutch is use in various machine. There are different types of clutches and these are as follow. Positive clutch Positive clutch is used when positive drive (torque transmit without slip) is required. In positive clutch two machine elements are used, one element is rigidly fixed to driving shaft and other machine element is free to slide axially on splined driven shaft and it helps for en...
How Power Steering System Works? – Best Explanation Introduction Vehicle dynamic is an integral part of an automobile vehicle which is as important as the power train of a vehicle, as if we need a power train to run a vehicle we also need vehicle dynamics systems to keep the vehicle running with stability, as we know suspension system is the part of vehicle dynamics that provide surface contact along with the turning stability to the vehicle but let’s just think, turning the direction by the vehicle while moving invites lot’s of forces to disturb the stability of the vehicle which give rise to many questions like How it is done?. What are the requirements to steer the vehicle in desired direction? To find these answers let’s just study further. A steering system of an automobile is an integral part of vehicle dynamics of a vehicle in which a series of mechanical components having certain important angles comes together to steer the front w...
What is an EGR valve? The EGR valve is a small component, invented to allow the flow of exhaust gases into the intake manifold in controlled amounts. It is a simple valve that closes and opens as needed. The EGR valve has one job to do. Its role is to either open and direct exhaust gases into the combustion chamber or to close and keep the gases from entering. When your car engine starts, the valve becomes active and remains in a closed position, barring the flow of exhaust gases. Once the engine reaches working temperature and speed is increased, the valve — either through a vacuum or electronic control — increasingly opens, allowing burned exhaust gases to enter and combine with the air-fuel mixture inside the combustion chamber. If you slow down or come to a stop, the valve progressively closes and blocks the flow of exhaust gas. The process continues for as long as the engine is running. When the engine is off, the EGR valve closes and remains so. The EGR valve has been a pro...
