Single Plate Clutch.

SINGLE  PLATE  CLUTCH :-

Figure shows the schymetical layout of single plate clutch,
 It consist of 2 plates.
 1. Driving plate.
 It is mounted on the driving shaft.
 2. Driven plate.
 It is mounted on the driven shaft.
 CONSTRUCTION: 
   1. Driven plate is lined with friction material 
     on it's one side.
   2. This two plates keep in engage position by       helical compression spring.
   3. The helical compression spring exerts axial       force on driven plate.

WORKING:-
1. In engage Condition (when clutch pedal is in up postion). The power is transmitted from driven shaft to driving shaft due to frictional force exerted by helical compression spring. 
2. In order to disengage the clutch , the clutch button is press downward.
3. In disengage condition the driven plate moves backward against the spring and their is no transmission of power from driven to driving shaft.
4. When clutch button is released , because of spring force the driven plate comes in contact with driven plate and the clutch is again engage.single plate clutch
