What are the characteristics of the Passager Car Clutch?

The centrifugal clutch engages and transmits rotational energy between the power source and the connected device or system only when the input speed reaches a set value. If the input speed falls below the set value, the clutch disengages and stops the power transmission. This design makes them suitable for applications where a soft start or stop without load is required.

The Passager Car Clutch design offers many advantages over other types of clutches, including easier operation, lower maintenance and repair costs, smoother acceleration and greater engagement speed control.

What are the different types of clutches available?

Passager Car Clutches facilitate the transfer of power by engaging and disengaging the shaft of the driving component from the shaft of the driven component. However, the power transmission mechanism and method varies depending on the type of clutch.

Clutches can be divided into two main categories: friction clutches and fluid flywheels. Friction clutches rely on the principle of friction. The friction between the drive and driven component shafts as they engage (i.e., make contact) allows rotational energy to be transferred from the former to the latter. The fluid flywheel uses hydraulic fluid to transfer torque from the driving component to the driven component.

Manual Clutches: Manual clutches must be engaged and disengaged by the machine operator. They are used in applications where engagement and disengagement must be done at a specific or consistent speed.

Hydraulic clutches. Hydraulic clutches use a hydraulic fluid (such as oil) to engage and disengage the clutch by extending and retracting the piston. They are used in hydraulic systems where engagement and disengagement must occur at a specific or consistent speed.

Electric clutches: Electric clutches convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. The power supply passes an electric current that generates an electromagnetic field. The resulting electromagnetic field then attracts a pressure plate, which engages the clutch. When the power supply stops passing current the clutch disengages. These clutches are suitable for applications where engagement and disengagement must occur at a specific or consistent speed of rotation and with an easily accessible power source.

Centrifugal Clutches: Centrifugal clutches engage and disengage automatically when the proper speed is reached. They are suitable for applications where engagement and disengagement must occur at moderate or inconsistent rotational speeds.

What is included in a Passager Car Clutch replacement?

If you are in need of a new clutch or clutch repair, it helps to know what is involved to understand the cost. A rough estimate of the cost of a clutch repair can be provided to you based on the following factors.

The make and model you own

What type of vehicle you own

Where you drive your vehicle

Whether new parts are used

Whether you are using remanufactured parts

Whether you are replacing all parts or just the clutch friction parts

Typical Labor Costs

The cost to repair a clutch can range from $500 to $2,500. It really depends on the car. Performance, exotic and European cars cost more to replace clutches than Japanese economy cars. Four-wheel drive vehicles cost more than two-wheel drive vehicles. Regardless of these different factors, a properly completed clutch job should include the following.

Clutch plate replacement

Separation bearing pilot bearing

Resurfacing or replacing the flywheel

In future, Jinan Chuangjin International Trade co., Ltd will continue exploring domestic and oversea markets simultaneously and aiming to become first class, world renowned clutch manufacturer.
