The multi plate clutch is an extension of unmarried plate type where the release of frictional together with the metallic plates is increased. The increment inwards the release of friction surfaces champaign increases capacity of the clutch to transmit torque, the size remaining fixed.
Alternatively, the overall diameter of the clutch is reduced for the same torque transmission every bit a unmarried plate clutch. This type of clutch is, therefore, used inwards or together with so heavy carry vehicles together with ing cars where high torque is to live on transmitted. Besides, this finds application inwards illustration of scooters together with motor cycles, where infinite available is limited. H5N1 simplified diagram of multi plate clutch is given below. The structure is like to that of unmarried plate type except that all the friction plates inwards this illustration are inwards 2 sets, i.e., 1 laid of plate’s slides inwards grooves on the flywheel together with the other 1 slide on splines on the Pressure plate hub. Alternative plates belong to each set.
