Cone Clutch Working And Uses

Cone Clutch: Definition, Parts, Working And Uses

What Is Cone Clutch?

A cone clutch serves the same purpose as a disk or plate clutch. However, instead of mating two spinning disks, the cone clutch uses two conical surfaces to transmit torque by friction.

The cone clutch is an axially actuated clutch that, for its size, can transmit a relatively high torque compared to a single-disc plate clutch of the same dimensions. This results from the wedge effect and the increased friction surface. Cone clutches are not now widely used and are generally used for low peripheral speed applications.

Parts Of Cone Clutch

 

 

2. Shafts

The inner cone, which is attached directly to the flywheel, is mounted over a solid shaft. The outer cone, however, is mounted over the spline shaft.

3. Springs

Behind the outer cone, there are springs that serve to keep the inner cone in engagement with the outer cone. When the clutch pedal is disengaged, the spring is compressed and the inner cone separates from the outer cone, thus disconnect the driving shaft from the driven shaft.

 4.Sleeves.

Sleeves are the part of the clutch which is attached to the male cone and mounted on the splines and these sleeves are used for the motion of the male cone.

5. Pedal

A clutch pedal is used to operate the clutch. When the clutch pedal is pressed, the spring is compressed through the fulcrum attached at its other end.

6. Flywheel

It is the part of the engine used to store the engine output it can be considered the part of a clutch system as the female cone of the cone clutch is attached to the flywheel and rotates with it.
