CLUTCH

To clamp the clutch plate, a diaphragm spring is
used in the clutch release assembly.
A diaphragm spring constitutes a simple, strong
and cost-effective construction.
Another advantage of the diaphragm spring is
that the pressure exerted on a new clutch plate
almost equals the pressure exerted on a worn
clutch plate.
The “drawn clutch” has the following advantages
over a “pushed clutch”:
-
favourable transfer ratio, resulting in lighter
pedal pressure
-
lower weight of the clutch release assembly
-
simple construction of the clutch release
assembly
