(1). Basic introduction of the clutch

1. Clutch classification

For motorcycles, the clutch is an essential device, no matter what model you are currently riding it will have a clutch, but different models of the clutch assembly will have different working principles and structure and characteristics. At present, the common clutch of motorcycles can be divided into automatic and manual working forms; From the working environment can be divided into dry and wet. Pedal motorcycle will generally use dry automatic disengaging clutch, the car will use wet manual clutch. This paper mainly discusses the manual clutch of the car.

2. Working principle of the clutch

The manual clutch is mainly composed of clutch big old, small old, friction plate, spring, rocker arm, bearing, cable and so on. It belongs to a normal closing device, and the whole working process belongs to the standby state, which will be separated only when manually operated, and will be in the combined mode at other times. The motorcycle clutch is located between the gearbox and the crankshaft, and the installation position and method will vary between different models. However, its main role will not change, basically to transfer and cut off power, and to smooth start and smooth shift as the main purpose.

Therefore, we can simply understand it as a buffer in the power transmission process, and because of this characteristic, the motorcycle clutch has the ability to control the speed of the vehicle, but please note that this is not its work category, belongs to a derivative function, and is not used for normal operation.

(2). Does the clutch control speed affect the vehicle?

The answer to that question is yes. Because we have said in the front, the normal working state of the clutch of the motorcycle is combined not separated, and using the clutch to control the speed means that the semi-clutch will be used, so that it is in a semi-combined state, and there will be damage to the clutch in the long run. One of the most obvious performance is the friction plate accelerated wear, slippage phenomenon, if the process of the throttle or operation is not in place, will directly burn the clutch disc, and then will bring more trouble. It is not only a simple loss of power, wear of a large number of debris will affect the lubrication system, which will cause the engine cylinder, so no special needs to use the clutch to control the speed of the operation method is not desirable. Is occasional use feasible?

This mainly depends on the individual's operation and the actual situation, for example, the regular start is not a big problem, because the engine speed itself is not high at this time, and the normal start of the vehicle is part of the clutch work scope, so there will be no adverse effects. However, if the clutch is used as a transmission method for long-term use is a violation, in addition to accelerating the wear of the clutch friction plate, there will be safety risks, such as downhill in the skid using the clutch to achieve "neutral" is a violation of the operation.

However, the semi-clutch under congested road conditions is allowed, because even in this state, the speed may be a little too fast, so it is necessary to use the characteristics of the semi-linkage to make the speed of the vehicle slower and maintain the same speed as the traffic flow.

All in all, it is not recommended to use the clutch to control the speed of the vehicle without special needs, because it has exceeded the working range of the clutch itself, it will have more or less damage to the vehicle, and there will be some safety risks, so it is still necessary to use the performance of the vehicle itself to control the speed by improving personal skills.
