In the motor vehicle engine, the crankshaft must be connected to the wheel so that the engine power can be used to move your weight and your colleagues from one place to another appropriate means of transportation. Well this connexion is called coupling. But the meaning of the coupling and the coupling was not the same. In our country, the clutch is more synonymous with a device called a clutch ..
Now let us look at the function of the clutch or the clutch motor vehicle. From the second paragraph, it can be analyzed that the engine power to be transmitted to the wheels. So now imagine if the main shaft of the machine is always connected to the wheels. When the motor stops the engine should die. When the engine should not die, wandering road motorcycles will continue to not want to stop. It must be annoying. Well, from there created a device that allows the engine and the wheels do decoupling. Decoupling is disconnect the engine from the wheel axle. The device is called a clutch or more familiarly called clutch in our country.
Now with the clutch, we are more free to maintain the engine to remain lit when the motor stops. Since the coupling can break the bonds between the engine and the wheels in a time of need. Moreover, also soften clutch gearshift process. Imagine if manually shifting gears on the motor without pulling the clutch lever. As slamming gears with style and even hundreds of thousands of newtons.
on a motorcycle, there are 2 pieces clutch. That is the main clutch and centrifugal clutch. Centrifugal clutch serves to remove the engine and wheels bonding while the lower engine RPM. Given this clutch, motorcycle engine will not die when stopped in gear condition entry. Furthermore, the main clutch. This coupling has the same functionality as the hand clutch on a sport bike. But to activate it you do not need to pull the clutch lever on the steering wheel to the left. But a half step on the pedal gear. Thus, you can move the acceleration level and activate the clutch at the same time. If the motor sport you have to do 3 steps: pull the clutch> added teeth> loose coupling. So the motorcycle, you also do the same thing, but summed up in one stamping on the pedal transmission: a half step on (loose coupling)> full tread (plus gear)> release the pedal (clutch belt). 3 steps are performed only by a single stamping.
Matic motor, centrifugal clutch only artifacts that prevent the engine off when the motor stops. Matic transmission can move without the slightest jerk, so do not need the clutch for shifting gears.
