The clutch tightly interconnects with the gearbox. It performs quite important functions. Namely, it transmits the torque from the crankshaft to the gearbox located in the transmission, separates the gearbox and the crankshaft (this does when changing gears). And still, this mechanism provides the smooth course tiller from a place. Thanks to it, it is possible to stop the vehicle without shutting down the engine (this is possible through the clutch lever, the cable and the entire system).
What types exist?
Depending on the structural features of the tiller, the mechanism under consideration may be of the following types:
- friction;
- hydraulic;
- electromagnetic;
- centrifugal;
- single plate;
- two-disk;
- multidisk;
- belt
The centrifugal clutch is used to solve various problems, one of which is to facilitate tiller control. The clutch provides a smooth start of movement, as the clutch is pressed to the clutch disc automatically.
It includes the following components:
- clutch cable;
- flywheel;
- release bearing;
- lever;
- clutch lever mounted on tiller;
- transmission shaft;
- driven disk;
- a pen;
- lock washer;
- stem fungus;
- plug off
By the way, if the owner of the tiller has no experience in plumbing, he will not be able to make a clutch with his own hands. Will only replace or repair it.
The important role of the differential.
Since this mechanism is part of the transmission, then it is associated with the clutch. The differential is a difficult assignment. making smooth turns, as well as improving the maneuverability of heavy tillers. The purpose of the clutch for tiller and differential is to adjust the rotation of both wheels at different speeds. Besides, power transmission mechanisms can be equipped with wheel locking features. However, instead of the differential, a special device can be installed, which allows one wheel to be disconnected while driving.
Extensive functionality.
Clutch tiller is of great importance when driving. Without it, it is difficult to move, although it is possible. If it is out of order, it is better to start repairing it immediately. A non-working clutch for a tiller in a manual transmission causes damage to the entire transmission. In this sense, the centrifugal clutch has proven itself better, since it has found application in automatic transmissions. If it fails, the tiller will not move at all, and therefore will not entail other damage.
The centrifugal clutch for easy tiller includes:
- flywheel;
- hub with locking groove and key;
- pulley;
- flange;
- bearing;
- sleeve;
- retaining ring;
- casing
Making a clutch on a heavy or light tiller with your own hands requires certain knowledge and experience. If you have them, proceed now. For reliable operation of the centrifugal type, it is necessary to reduce the weight of the pads to 110 grams. Initially, each of them weighs 134 grams. From under the pads it is necessary to remove the rubber rings, and in their place to install rigid springs.
Tiller controls.
This is a system of mechanisms that allows you to change the speed and direction of movement of the motor-block. The controls include a steering wheel, clutch and gear levers, a throttle control knob, and more. Since there is no seat for the operator in the tillers, it means that the maneuvering of such equipment is provided by hands. But, if in a specialized store you can buy a cart with a seat, you get a mini-tractor.
