ABSTACT:
A clutch is a device used to make and brake contact from the transmission. When it engages,
then power is transferred from engine to gear box and when it disengage, power flow is stop,
hence it is called free running of engine. There is an innovation done in automobile industry,
called electro magnetic clutch, which is recently used by Renault Car Company, which uses the
basic principle of electrical energy as well as magnetic forces.
This project revels the manufacturing of electro magnetic clutch. In place of Engine, shaft is
directly attached to variance (variable motor) and clutch disc as well as pressure plate is used, in
between them friction material called “Asbestos” used to grip between the pressure plate and
clutch plate. This project shows, experimental analysis of Electro magnetic clutch, and at last at
which speed clutch engage as well as disengage is measured and when clutch disengage, at that
time speed of flywheel is also measured.

INTRODUCTION:
Definition of clutch:
The clutch is an important part in the transmission system of automobiles. It transmits
power from the engine to gear box at various speeds. No shock is caused during this
transmission of power.
Purpose:
The function of the clutch is to temporarily disconnect the engine from the gear box unit.
When the gear has to be changed from the first to the second ,it should be done after
disconnecting the engine from the gear box. If this is not done ,the gear teeth might
break. The clutch is thus helpful when starting, shifting gears and idling.
Principle of operation:
The clutch works on the principles of friction. When two friction surfaces are brought in
contact with each other and pressed they are united due to the friction between them. If
now one is resolved, the other will also revolve. The friction between the two surfaces
depends upon the area of the surfaces, pressure applied upon them and co-efficient of
friction of the surface materials. The two surfaces can be separated and brought into
contact when required. The driving member is kept rotating. When the driven member is
brought in contact with the driving member, it also starts rotating. When the driven
member is separated from the driving member it does not revolve. This is the principle on
which a clutch operates.
Requirement of a clutch:
1. Torque transmission: - The clutch should be able to transmit maximum torque of
the engine.
2. Gradual engagement:- The clutch should engage gradually to avoid sudden jerks.

3. Heat dissipation: - The clutch should be able to dissipate large amount of heat which
is generated during the clutch operation due to friction.
4. Dynamic balancing:- The clutch should be dynamically balanced. This is
particularly required in the case of high speed engine clutches.
5. Vibrating damping: - The clutch should have suitable mechanism to damp
vibrations and to eliminate noise produced during the power transmission.
6. Size:- The clutch should be as small as possible in size so that it will occupy
minimum space.
7. Free pedal play: - The clutch should have free pedal play in order to reduce effective
clamping load on the carbon thrust bearing and wear on it.
8. Easy in operation: - The clutch should be easy to operate requiring as little exertion
as possible on the part of the driver.
9. Lightness:- The driven member of the clutch should be made as light as possible so
that it will not continue to rotate for any length of time after the clutch has been
disengaged.

Main parts of the clutch:-
The main parts of clutch are divided into three groups:
1. Driving members…..
The driving members consist of a flywheel mounted on the engine
crankshaft.
(Figure 2-flywheel couple with clutch)
2. Driven members….
The driven member consists of the disc or plate, called the clutch plate.

3. Operating members…..
The operating members consist of a foot pedal, linkage, release or throw
out bearing, release levers and springs.

EXPLODED VIEW OF CLUTCH ASSEMBLY:
Types of friction material:-
The friction materials of the clutch plate are generally of three types :
1. Mill board type.
7
PROJECT REPORT ON ELECTRO MAGNETIC CLUCH
2. Moulded type.
3. Woven type.
Mill board type friction materials mainly include asbestos sheets treated with different
type of impregnates.
Moulded type friction materials are made from a matrix of asbestos fiber and starch
or any other suitable binding materials.
Woven type facing materials are made by impregnating a cloth with certain binders or
by wearing threads of brass or copper wires covered with long fiber asbestos and cotton.
The woven type friction materials are further classified into types-laminated
type and solid woven type.
The most common friction materials are as follows :
1. Leather …….. Co-efficient of friction 0.27.
(Figure 6-Lather friction material)
2. Cork. ………Co-efficient of friction 0.32.
(Figure 7-Cork friction material)
3. Fabric ……….Co-efficient of friction 0.40.

CLUTCH:-
Why we used Electromagnetic Clutch?
Function of clutch is to engage or disengage the engine from the transmission system.
Hence it is inserted between the flywheel as well as gear box. It is consists of main
important parts like clutch plate, pressure plate, friction disc, operating lever etc. In
clutch engage as well as disengage are very important, because due to which clutch is
used. But when clutch is applied at that time, some clearance is there in the clutch pedal
called clutch pedal play and due to which, proper disengage of clutch is not achieve and
clutch will slip or dragged.
There is a need to use some system incorporated in clutch system, to prevent above
situation. Hence, if we shift gear and at that time clutch will disengage hence the it is
very simple for driver and force require to engage as well as disengage the clutch is also
neglected, hence a new type of clutch used in automobile vehicles called “Renault Car”
called electromagnetic clutch.
In this clutch system, when gear shift lever is applied at that time, due to MMF clutch
will disengage and when release lever, clutch will engage.
Basic operation of electromagnetic clutch:-
The clutch has four main parts: field, rotor, armature, and hub (output) (Figure-22). When
voltage is applied the stationary magnetic field generates the lines of flux that pass into
the rotor. (The rotor is normally connected to the part that is always moving in the
machine.) The flux (magnetic attraction) pulls the armature in contact with the rotor (the
armature is connected to the component that requires the acceleration), as the armature
and the output start to accelerate. Slipping between the rotor face and the armature face
