1. Structure and operating principle of clutch plates for heavy-duty trucks
Heavy truck clutch plates are located in the flywheel housing between the engine and gearbox. The clutch disc assembly is screwed to the rear of the flywheel. The output shaft of the clutch plate is the input shaft of the gearbox.
While a heavy truck is running, the driver depresses and releases the clutch pedal as necessary to temporarily disconnect the engine and transmission, and then gradually connect them to cut off or transmit the input from the engine to the transmission. I can.
A clutch plate is a common part of a mechanical transmission and can be separated or connected at any time.Its basic requirements are smooth connection and quick and complete separation, ease of adjustment and maintenance, and ease of maintenance .
Small size, light weight, good wear resistance, good heat dissipation, easy operation and labor-saving, commonly used are two types of him: tooth type and friction type.
2. Clutch plates of heavy-duty trucks require daily inspection
Currently, the application to heavy trucks has become common, and more and more people are using clutch plates for heavy trucks, so more and more manufacturers are making this product. To gain popularity, manufacturers must find ways to improve the quality of their products. Introducing the knowledge of clutch plates for heavy-duty trucks.
When using heavy duty clutch plates, you should check the free travel of the clutch plates. If there is a problem, you should consider whether the stroke limit is exceeded and check whether the height of the release lever is constant or too low.
Move the release fork under the vehicle so that the front end of the release bearing lightly leans against the inner end surface of the release rod, and rotate the clutch disc to inspect.
If the inside edge of the release lever cannot contact the release bearing at the same time, it means the release lever height is not constant and needs to be adjusted. If the separation rod heights are the same but they are not completely separated, you should check the separation rod height.
Adjust the release levers to the same height. If it can be completely separated, it means that the original alignment is bad or the wear is too heavy. After adjusting the isolation lever, the free travel of the vehicle's clutch plates must be readjusted.
If the above adjustment is normal, but the separation is still not complete, remove the clutch disc and check whether the driven disc is reversed, whether the axial movement is difficult, and whether the main disc and driven disc are distorted. Is there any loose lever, loose screw, or missing floating pin?
That's all there is to the above knowledge about heavy truck clutch discs. This product is also very important as it is very important for heavy duty truck applications due to the continuous development of modern technology.
