CLUTCH

D. HYDRAULIC ADAPTER

The hydraulic adapter connects the high

pressure line from CMC via peak torque limiter to

CSC through a small opening in the housing. The

hydraulic adapter consists of a bleeding valve

which helps to bleed and drain the clutch system.

The bleeding valve is just an ON/OFF valve which

needs to be operated while bleeding the system.



NOTE



The hydraulic adapter parts are not

serviceable and needs to be replaced

completely if found defective.

E. SINGLE MASS FLYWHEEL

The single mass flywheel

(SMF)

is a

flywheel having single inertia mass. It is fitted on

the engine crankshaft and provides mounting for

the clutch assembly, comprising of clutch cover

assembly and the driven disc.

The function of a conventional flywheel is

to dampen the speed fluctuations caused by

impulses during the engine cycle.

F. SELF ADJUSTING CLUTCH

A self-adjusting clutch (SAC) eliminates

problems both in terms of wear in the clutch cover

and the need for increased force at the pedal as

the facing thickness reduces.

In addition, the service life of the clutch is

increased considerably. A self-adjusting clutch

does not normally need to be replaced during the

service life of the vehicle.

A self-adjusting clutch (SAC) senses the

increase in release load at the diaphragm spring. It

has an adjustment mechanism between the

diaphragm spring and the clutch cover. This

maintains the angle of the diaphragm spring and

ensures that the pedal effort remains constant

throughout the life of the clutch.
