ambreiajul
Ambreiajul is a Romanian term that translates to "clutch" in English. It refers to a mechanical device that engages and disengages the power transfer between the engine and the transmission in a vehicle. This allows the driver to change gears smoothly or to stop the vehicle without stalling the engine. The clutch system typically consists of a clutch disc, a pressure plate, and a flywheel. When the clutch pedal is pressed, a mechanism disengages the clutch disc from the flywheel, interrupting the flow of power. Releasing the pedal re-engages the clutch, reconnecting the engine to the transmission. Modern vehicles often use hydraulic or electronic systems to operate the clutch, while older vehicles might use a cable-operated system. The proper functioning of the ambreiajul is crucial for the operation of vehicles with manual transmissions. Wear and tear on clutch components are common due to friction during operation, and replacement is a routine maintenance task.
