Difference between Single Plate Clutch and Cone Clutch

Difference Between Single Plate Clutch and Cone Clutch in Tabular Form

Contents

Single Plate Clutch is used in light vehicles like Cars whereas Cone Clutch is used in heavy vehicles like acing boats, off-road vehicle.
Comparison between Single Plate Clutch and Cone Clutch is below table.

	Cone Clutch	Single Plate Clutch
1	In a Cone Clutch, a less axial force is required to get a particular normal force.	In a Single Plate Clutch, a large axial force is required to get the same normal force compared to a cone clutch
2	In a Cone Clutch fewer chances of slip between the mating surfaces. So, almost 100% transfer of torque is guaranteed.	In Single Plate Clutch Due to slip between mating surfaces, less torque is transmitted compared to cone clutch.
3	In a Cone Clutch Disengagement of clutch becomes difficult if the cone angle is less than 20°.	In Single Plate Clutch this type of problem will not arise, since the surface of the clutch plate is flat.
4	The capacity of torque transmission is high.	The capacity of torque transmission is less.
