Difference between revisions of "Dry clutch"

A "dry clutch", as the name implies, is not bathed in fluid.  Since the surfaces of a [[wet clutch]] can be slippery (as with a motorcycle clutch bathed in engine oil), stacking multiple clutch disks can compensate for the lower coefficient of friction and so eliminate slippage under power when fully engaged.  [[Ducati]] [[motorcycles]] are probably the most common modern motorcycle found with dry clutches.  Older [[CZ]]s used to use dry clutches as well.
