Differences In Hydrolic And Mechanical Kopling On Motorcycles, How Does It Work?

YOGYAKARTA - Kopling is an important component of the vehicle that functions to connect the transmission gear with the engkol axis. There are two types of vehicle couplings, namely hydraulic coupling and mechanical coupling. Therefore it is important to know the difference in hydraulic and mechanical couplings.

Vehicle couplings are used to make smooth movement of teeth. Both hydraulic and mechanical couplings work to create an emphasis on the spring of the diaphragm to remove the cluster disk on the flywheel, so that the engine spin will be cut off into transmission.

Hydratory and mechanical coupling have different work mechanisms. So what are the differences in hydraulic and mechanical couplings that you need to know?

The role of coupling to motorbikes is very smooth and comfortable driving. Every driver should understand how the type of coupling installed on his motorbike works, be it hydraulic or mechanical coupling.

Hydratorous coupling is a type of coupling whose work system uses hydraulic fluids. This hydraulic liquid gets an emphasis on the cylinder master connected to the coupling pedal and the piston cylinder on the fork shift. The advantage of this coupling is that it can make the vehicle lighter when operating the coupling.

Meanwhile the hydraulic coupling is a coplong whose work system uses steel wire. Steel wire plays a role in connecting the coupling pedal with the fork shift. The advantage of this coupling is that there will be no leakage in lubricants because the work system is already using cables.

Here are some differences in hydraulic and mechanical coupling that you need to understand:

The work system of hydraulic and mechanical coupling has differences. As previously mentioned, hydraulic coupling works using lubricant oil fluids. While the mechanical coupling work system uses cables.

In the type of hydraulic coupling, the way the piston works is up and down or pulling and tug. So when you pull the handle coupling, the hydraulic oil will be channeled down to the bottom to pull the coupling cable. The hydraulic coupling produces a larger force than the mechanical coupling.

Another difference between hydraulic and mechanical couplings is in the installation process. Installation of hydraulic coupling requires many components, ranging from master cylinders, mink distributors, and hydraulic pistons.

While at mechanical coupling, installation requires first assembly for the unit of the plate and the home of the coupling. You need to give a little special fat on the flow of the coupling plate, then include the cluster center on the cluster hub and set the position of the coupling plate. After that, then install the coupling plate on the fly wheel with the cluster guide and set its position.

In terms of maintenance, hydraulic and mechanical coupling also requires different treatment. Treatment of mechanical coupling is carried out by means of cable care, cable protection, and cable lubrication. The maintenance process aims to prevent corrosion which causes the cable to break more easily.

For maintenance at hydraulic coupling, it hardly requires maintenance as often as mechanical coupling. To keep performance optimal, hydraulic coupling only requires fluids stored in a special container. Although the treatment is not too frequent, this coupling costs more maintenance.

Phymanical and mechanical coupling also has differences in terms of improvement. Improvements in hydraulic coupling do not require such arrangements in mechanical coupling. Because a piston cylinder can perform its own settings automatically according to the thickness level of the disk cluster.

While mechanical coupling treatment requires quite a hassle because it is done within a certain period of time. Cables at this type of coupling can be cut off, so they must be given treatment by reconnecting the cable. The connecting process of the cable is quite difficult and the results may not be as good as before.

Prices of hydraulic and mechanical couplings are also different. Hydratory couplings have a higher price as installation requires many components or spare parts, such as cylindrical masters and pipes.

Meanwhile, the price for mechanical coupling is cheaper. Because in the installation of mechanical coupling, only use steel at a more affordable price. In addition, the maintenance is also quite easy and the price of cable is not too expensive.

That's a review of differences in hydraulic and mechanical couplings that are important to understand. Both the type of hydraulic and mechanical coupling has their own strengths and disadvantages. Also read the article on how hydraulic coupling works.
