  3. Cone clutch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_clutch

    A cone clutch serves the same purpose as a disk or plate clutch; however, instead of mating two spinning disks, the cone clutch uses two conical surfaces to transmit torque by friction. [1] The cone clutch transfers a higher torque than plate or disk clutches of the same size due to the wedging action and increased surface area.

    The clutch pedal controls the pressure plate (clutch engaged – the clutch pedal is not being pressed) or not connected to the engine (clutch disengaged – the clutch pedal is being pressed down). When the engine is running and the clutch is engaged (i.e., clutch pedal up), the flywheel spins the clutch pressure plate and hence the transmission.
