Flywheel is one of the most important parts of the engine. It performs several functions at once. The flywheel is used to start the engine. This makes the engine connect to the transmission. Flywheel is the leading disc of concatenation-the torque from the engine is transmitted to the gearbox. In addition, the flywheel is required for the uniform rotation of the shaft of the engine.

Device and Flywheel Facility
The wheel is a diameter of between 30 and 40 centimeters. The disc jagged. Due to this, it can be coupled with a gears with the shaft of the starter, which allows the engine to be crushed when it is launched.
A two-wheel flywheel does not have the main advantage of the usual flywheel-the simplicity of the construction. Therefore, some manufacturers refuse to put two mass wheels on their cars
The wheel is mounted at the end of the crankshaft of the engine. On the other hand, the flywheel is connected by means of bolts with the clutch of the clutch.
The flywheel principle is easy to understand if you look at a toy wolf. As the wave twisting around the hand, the flywheel starts to spin through the rotation of the crankshaft. The way the tide is spinning is, in fact, a reserve of energy. If, in the case of a toy, energy is wasted, until the lug stops, the flywheel gives it back to the wheel.
Flywheel of different constructions
The construction of all flywheels can be divided into three groups: solid, bi-mass, and lightweight.
The most commonly used car is a solid flywheel, which is a cast-iron disc with a steel toothed crown on the outer surface. He is the one who rotates the crankshaft at the start of the starter.
Vehicle with ACPR has been simplified to the limit. In fact, his function is to serve the gears that the engine starter steaks when the engine starts
Another system, which is widely used in motor vehicles, is a two-mass (or damping) flywheel, which serves not only to vibrate, but also to control the cycle of the wheel.
Finally, the lightweight flywheel is the prerogative of tannin cars and cars with ACPR. Already from its name it is clear that the main advantage of such flywheel is reduced weight. The mass of the flywheel is redistributed to the edges of the disc, making it easier, on average, by 1.5 kg, thus reducing the inertia. The impact of the engine is increased by approximately 5 per cent. In the case of vehicles with ACPR, the use of lightweight flywheel is justified by the addition of rotating parts of the weight and, above all, the torque converter.
Two-mass flywheel device
On the device of the two-mass (damping) flywheel it is worth to stop. This flywheel is the two connected disks that contain the spring damping device. The spring takes on all of the vibrations and allows you to free the transmission from unnecessary swings.
Double-wheel flywheel allows the vibration and vibration of the wheel to decrease the level of noise, reduce the wear of the synchronizers, and protect the transmission from overload. In addition, the use of a two-wheel flywheel makes it easier to switch gears. At the same time, the active work of the two-mass flywheel is quicker to wear a spring-damping system, which means that its main element, the arc spring, can get out of order and require repair. This is the main lack of damper flywheel, which does not allow it to be used on all modern engines.
