A clutch delay valve is an automotive component added to the clutch system of an automobile to control clutch engagement speed. Its purpose is to engage the drivetrain of an automobile without introducing shock to the drivetrain components by engaging too quickly.
The purpose of a clutch is in part to allow such control; in particular, a clutch provides transfer of torque between shafts spinning at different speeds. In the extreme, clutch control is used in performance driving, such as starting from a dead stop with the engine producing maximum torque at high RPM.
An anti-stall system is an automatically operated electronic clutch control device preventing the stalling of an engine [6] by engaging the clutch when the ECU detects that the engine revs are too low.
The internal clutch actuator in a semi-automatic transmission can be powered by either hydraulic, pneumatic, or electric means. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Later examples of clutchless manual transmissions used in road cars include the Saab Sensonic transmission, used in the 900 NG , and the Ferrari Valeo auto-manual transmission, used in the Mondial T .
The clutch pedal controls the pressure plate (clutch engaged – the clutch pedal is not being pressed) or not connected to the engine (clutch disengaged – the clutch pedal is being pressed down). When the engine is running and the clutch is engaged (i.e., clutch pedal up), the flywheel spins the clutch pressure plate and hence the transmission.
The clutch slips until the input and output RPMs are matched. This happens relatively quickly typically (0.2 - 2 sec). When the current is removed from the clutch, the armature is free to turn with the shaft. Springs hold the friction disks away from each other, so there is no contact when the clutch is not engaged, creating a minimal amount of ...
The Mets shortstop hammered a go-ahead grand slam into the Phillies bullpen to hoist the Mets to a 4-1 win over the Phillies in front of a sold-out crowd of 44,103 fans in Flushing. It accounted ...
If the clutch is depressed long enough for the engine to fall below the speed of the higher new gear, the computer will blip the throttle to bring the engine back to speed. Most usefully, if a new, lower gear is selected, the computer will accelerate the engine to the new estimated speed, even to the point of redline.
