Flywheel encyclopedia

brief introduction

The flywheel is a wheeled accumulator with a large moment of inertia and mounted on a rotating shaft of the machine. When the rotating speed of the machine decreases, the kinetic energy of the flywheel decreases and the energy is released. When the rotational speed of the machine increases, the kinetic energy of the flywheel increases and the energy is stored up. Flywheels can be used to achieve this effect when it is necessary to reduce the speed fluctuation of the mechanical process.

definition

Flywheel is a large disc part mounted on the rear end of engine crankshaft. It has a large moment of inertia and is usually made of ductile iron: QT450-10,QT600-3,QT500-7 etc. Cast iron: HT200 HT250, is also used for flywheel made of 45 steel.

The drive disc, also a flywheel, is made of 45 # steel for pressing and pressing the gear ring.

function

1) installing a clutch on the flywheel to connect the engine to the automobile transmission system.

2) for the convenience of engine starting, the gear ring is fitted to the starter.

3) in order to overcome the resistance of other stroke, the flywheel stores part of the energy of the work stroke of the engine so that the crankshaft can rotate evenly.
