többtárcsás

Többtárcsás is a Hungarian term that translates to "multi-disc" in English. It is commonly used in the context of mechanical components, particularly in clutches and brakes. A többtárcsás clutch or brake system utilizes multiple friction discs that engage or disengage to transmit or control rotational motion. This design offers advantages such as increased torque capacity, smoother engagement, and better heat dissipation compared to single-disc systems.

In automotive applications, többtárcsás clutches are found in high-performance vehicles and racing cars where rapid and efficient power transfer is crucial. They are also employed in some industrial machinery and heavy equipment. The multiple discs distribute the load and friction over a larger surface area, which can lead to longer component life and reduced wear. The engagement mechanism can vary, often involving hydraulic or mechanical actuation to press the discs together or separate them. The precise number of discs and their material composition are engineered to meet specific performance requirements.
