Dynamic Strain of Diaphragm Spring on Vehicles Friction Clutches Depending on the Spring Angle

摘要

One of the major parts of motor vehicles is the clutch. It is mechanical assemblies built between the engine and transmission that with friction transfers torque from the drive part to the working part (engine gearbox and other transmission). Diaphragm spring as one of the main parts of the clutch creates pressure force of the clutch, where the spring’s quality is affected by many structural and technological factors. Here it will consider only one of the structural factors, the diaphragm spring angle.
