Multi Plate Clutch

Multi-plate clutch adding plates to a  clutch unit to form a multi-plate clutch  will increase its torque capacity  without increasing spring strength or  clutch diameter this clutch assembly has  three clutch plates with friction  material riveted to both sides of each  an internally splined hub on each clutch  with the splines on the clutch shaft.

A cast iron separator plate fits between  each clutch plate this friction unit  natus clutch plate is between the  flywheel and the pressure plate when the  pressure plate assembly is bolted to the  flywheel a pressure plate assembly  consisting of a steel cover a pressure  plate and a segmented diaphragm spring  and a release bearing and operating for  the clamping force on the friction  facings is provided by the diaphragm  spring.

When removed diaphragm spring  looks as - shaved as the pressure plate  covers tightens diaphragm spring  flattens out to exert a force on the  pressure plate and the clutch plate..
