Vehicular Sliding Sleeve Clutch

A Vehicular Sliding Sleeve Clutch is a type of clutch used in vehicular power transmission systems. It belongs to the supply class of Vehicular Power Transmission Components and is part of the supply group of Vehicular Equipment Components.

The sliding sleeve clutch is designed to engage and disengage power transmission between the engine and the transmission system in a vehicle. It consists of a sliding sleeve that can move axially to connect or disconnect the input and output shafts of the transmission.

When the clutch is engaged, the sliding sleeve is moved towards the input shaft, allowing power to be transmitted from the engine to the transmission. This enables the vehicle to move forward or backward, depending on the gear selected.

On the other hand, when the clutch is disengaged, the sliding sleeve is moved away from the input shaft, interrupting the power flow and allowing the driver to change gears or come to a stop without stalling the engine.

Vehicular sliding sleeve clutches are commonly used in manual transmission vehicles, where the driver manually operates the clutch pedal to engage or disengage the clutch. They are also found in some automated manual transmission (AMT) systems, where the clutch operation is automated.

Overall, the vehicular sliding sleeve clutch plays a crucial role in the power transmission system of a vehicle, allowing for smooth gear changes and efficient power transfer between the engine and the transmission.
