The flywheel of the agricultural clutch is a key component of the clutch system, which carries the rotational inertia of the engine and provides the connection point for power transmission. The following is a detailed explanation of the definition and structure of the agricultural clutch flywheel
Definition
The flywheel of the agricultural clutch is a disc-shaped component with a large rotating mass, which is installed on the output shaft of the engine, connected with the pressure plate, and connects the engine and the transmission through the clutch.
Structure
Shape features: Agricultural clutch flywheels are usually disc-shaped with flat circular surfaces. It is usually made of a strong metallic material such as steel or cast iron to withstand high strength and durability requirements.
Flywheel Rim: The outer rim of the flywheel is a flat ring that holds the clutch pressure plate and friction material.
Flywheel Disc: The center portion of the flywheel is a thick disc that attaches to the output shaft of the engine. The flywheel disc is bolted or threaded to the engine's crankshaft and rotates synchronously with the engine.
Flywheel ring gear (if applicable): Some agricultural clutch flywheels may have a ring gear on the flywheel that engages with the gear of the starter to enable the engine to start.
The role of the flywheel is manifold
Stored moment of inertia: The mass and moment of inertia of the flywheel allows the engine to maintain a stable speed during operation, reducing power fluctuations and vibrations.
Provides the connection point: The clutch pressure plate is connected to the engine via the flywheel, which transfers the engine's power to the transmission.
Smooth power transfer: Due to the mass and inertia of the flywheel, it can provides smooth power transfer while reducing shock and vibration.
Overall, the agricultural clutch flywheel is a critical clutch component that enables smooth power transfer between the engine and transmission while reducing vibration and shock by storing moment of inertia and providing a connection point.
WEEYH is jointly formed by China's top agricultural machinery parts factories, focusing on the R&D and production of agricultural machinery parts. About 200,000 sets of agricultural machinery related parts are produced by WEEYH'S factories and sent to the world every year.
We have a top testing laboratory, from material analysis to finished product inspection, each link has a corresponding testing process. More than 30 kinds of testing equipment have built the guarantee of WEEYH safety.
