  2. Clutch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clutch

    Clutch. A clutch is a mechanical device that allows an output shaft to be disconnected from a rotating input shaft. [1] The clutch's input shaft is typically attached to a motor, while the clutch's output shaft is connected to the mechanism that does the work. In a motor vehicle, the clutch acts as a mechanical linkage between the engine and ...

  3. Sprag clutch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprag_clutch

    A sprag clutch is a one-way freewheel clutch. It resembles a roller bearing but, instead of cylindrical rollers, non-revolving asymmetric figure-eight shaped sprags, or other elements allowing single direction rotation, are used. When the unit rotates in one direction the rollers slip or free-wheel, but when a torque is applied in the opposite ...

  4. Centrifugal clutch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_clutch

    Centrifugal clutch. Talbot car's 'traffic clutch' of the 1930s. A centrifugal clutch is an automatic clutch that uses centrifugal force to operate. The output shaft is disengaged at lower rotational speed and engages as the output increases to a certain speed. It is often used in mopeds, underbones, lawn mowers, go-karts, chainsaws, mini bikes ...

  5. Cone clutch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 torque by friction. [ 1 ] 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.

  6. Dual-clutch transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-clutch_transmission

    Dual-clutch transmission. A dual-clutch transmission (DCT) (sometimes referred to as a twin-clutch transmission) is a type of multi-speed vehicle transmission system, that uses two separate clutches for odd and even gear sets. [1] The design is often similar to two separate manual transmissions with their respective clutches contained within ...

    Internals of a Getrag 282 manual transmission for a front-wheel-drive vehicle (Oldsmobile Cutlass) A manual transmission (MT), also known as manual gearbox, standard transmission (in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States), or stick shift (in the United States), is a multi-speed motor vehicle transmission system where gear changes ...

  8. Direct-shift gearbox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-shift_gearbox

    A direct-shift gearbox (DSG, German: Direktschaltgetriebe [1]) [2] [3] is an electronically controlled, dual-clutch, [2] multiple-shaft, automatic gearbox, in either a transaxle or traditional transmission layout (depending on engine/drive configuration), with automated clutch operation, and with fully-automatic [2] or semi-manual gear selection.

  9. Hele-Shaw clutch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hele-Shaw_clutch

    Hele-Shaw clutch. The Hele-Shaw clutch was an early form of multi-plate wet clutch, in use around 1900. It was named after its inventor, Professor Henry Selby Hele-Shaw, who was noted for his work in viscosity and flows through small gaps between parallel plates. The clutch was innovative in not relying upon friction, as other clutches did.
