Single Plate Clutch
|
Multi Plate Clutch
|
As the name
suggests, single plate clutch consists of a clutch plate whose both sides are
coated with a frictional material.
|
The multi Plate clutch
consists more than one clutch plate.
|
Torque
transmitting capacity is less.
|
|
Heat generation is less, so
there is no need of a cooling medium. It is called “dry clutches.”
( why single plate clutches are dry and multi-plate clutch are wet ?) |
Heat generation
is more due to more frictional surface. So it needs a cooling medium and referred
as “wet type” clutch.
|
The coefficient of friction is high.
|
The coefficient of friction is low.
|
Faster response; Clutch
engagement is almost instantaneous.
|
Clutch engagement not instantaneous.
|
Single plate clutch used
where large radial space available. e.g.
Trucks ,Cars
|
Multiple Disc clutch is used
where compact construction is desirable. E.g.
Motorcycle, Scooter.
