Animation of how clutch for Super Cars works

Why dual clutch? While DSG and PDK are adapted to super cars, a revolution clutch patented in China is of higher efficiency, quicker in response, more reliable and simpler in construction.

Basic working principle is just like a disc brake, power transmission is through the engaging and disengaging of the braking force applied to the caliper, which in turn brake the rotor. When braking force is applied to the rotor, power can transmit to the gearbox, when braking force is not applied to the rotor, no power transmits to the gearbox, so power transmission can be gradually controls from soft to dead-locked.

The only maintenance of this clutch is the replacement of the friction pads for the caliper, which can be replaced by just plug and play, as the caliper is mounted on the bell house of the clutch, unlike existing gear-boxes there is no need to remove the whole gearbox, thus save maintenance time and money.

This is called the constant mesh clutch

[tintinfan007]

it looks just like a differential..................­now which part connects to the transmission, and which one to the engine

@tintinfan007

The transmission is on the left and the engine is on the right.

super cars don't have clutches. they are electric

ahhhh :)

This totally interests me, but in my opinion it should be redesigned so that you have to stop the disc rotor for neutral rather than for power. This way when you pop the clutch, it would be more instantaneous. But, I don't know how the mechanics would work in this way.

No F1 use advance clutch with multi-plate and disk. High end semi-automatic transmission.

I see this animation again and re thinking. Energy that brake system resist may be not much because brake & rotor overcome a pure torque from engine before multiplier by gear set. The interesting issue is that DSG gearbox can shift in 0.008 sec if this clutch system overcome DSG in term of shifting time, it should shift in 0.008 or less that's mean apply so much braking pressure on rotor or it may be slip -take more time to stop rotor from spinning. Wanna see this clutch model reference Thank ;)

Hi friend if this clutch system work in a same manner of disk brake, how to deal with the fade of disk & pad??. You tell that power transfer from engine through gearbox by continue braking rotor that's always produce more heat to brake mechanism cause brake fade and lose more power. There's seriously issue to deal with a lot of heat produce from this system. I want to know how to deal with? Thank

this type of system has a POWERED NEUTRAL.

it doesnt do anything but its powered

its called consistent mesh clutch

i don't think i'm a mechanic , i'm not , and i don't watch top gear , that's why i said that for me it looks like a differential ,

[adribossnikokamp]

@TheCip1977 my friend you must be watching Top gear very much and now you think your a mechanic...
