DEVICE WHICH TRANSFERS THE
R O TAT I O N A L P O W E R F R O M T H E
ENGINE TO THE WHEELS IN ANY
MANUAL VEHICLE
MULTIPLATE CLUTCH
In 2 wheeler vehicles like bikes and scooters
there is a problem of packaging due to their
small size
So to fulfil the need of required torque
output, instead of a large single plate clutch
, A multi-plate clutch having small clutch
plates is used to transmit power between
engine shaft and the transmission shaft.
When we go to the terrain having different
ups and downs or different road challenges,
A multi-plate clutch is required to maintain
the smooth and steady engagement
between the engine and the transmission
shaft which in turn continuously provides
required amount of torque and speed to the
vehicle.
