State the location and function of Torsion damper spring and pressure spring in a single plate dry disc clutch.

1 Answer

Answer :

Torsion damper spring: 

Location: They are small coil springs located between the clutch disc splined hub and the friction disc assembly. 

Function: These springs provides a flexible torsional connection between the centre hub flange and side plates which are riveted to main clutch plate. 


Pressure Spring: 

Location: These are helical springs located between clutch cover and pressure plate in clutch assembly. 

Function: When your foot is off the pedal, the springs push the pressure plate against the clutch disc, which in turn presses against the flywheel. This locks the engine to the transmission input shaft, causing them to spin at the same speed.
