disc clutch

...A friction clutch is a clutch that connects two shafts by frictional force by contacting friction surfaces attached to the driving shaft and driven shaft by external operation. It is currently the most widely used type because it can connect both shafts whether they are stationary or rotating. The most representative type of friction clutch is the disc clutch, which uses a disc as the friction surface. There are single-disc types that use one set of friction plates and multi-disc types that use multiple sets of friction plates. There are two types of engagement and disengagement: the friction surfaces are always pressed by spring force to keep the connection, and when necessary, they are disconnected from the outside by levers, hydraulics, electromagnetic forces, etc. (used in automobiles), and the converse type, where the friction surfaces are always separated and only when necessary, they are pressed by levers, hydraulics, etc. to connect. ...

Japanese:

…摩擦クラッチは,外部からの操作により原動軸および従動軸に取りつけた摩擦面を接触させて,摩擦力により2軸を連結するクラッチで,静止時,回転時を問わず連結できることから,現在,もっとも広く使用されている。摩擦クラッチのうち代表的なものは,円板を摩擦面とする円板クラッチdisc clutchで,1組の摩擦板を用いる単板式と多数組の摩擦板をもつ多板式とがある。着脱の操作には,摩擦面がばね力により常時押しつけられていて連結状態にあり,必要に応じて外部からレバー,油圧,電磁力などにより切断する方式(自動車用)と,逆に摩擦面が常時離れていて,必要なときにのみ,てこ,油圧などによって押しつけられて連結する方式とがある。…
