🔍 Key Concepts

• Hydraulic clutch basic principle: power transmitted through fluid, not direct metal-to-metal contact • How torsional vibrations and shock loads behave in hydraulic vs mechanical systems • Difference between mechanical connection and fluid (hydraulic) coupling

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: in a hydraulic clutch, how does power actually get from the engine to the reduction gear—through solid parts touching, or through moving oil? • Which type of clutch is better at smoothing out sudden changes in load or torsional vibration—solid mechanical contact or a fluid coupling? • Look at each choice and ask: does this describe something that is unique or especially true for a hydraulic (fluid) clutch compared with a standard mechanical clutch?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice describes fluid coupling / no rigid connection between input and output shafts • Eliminate any option that clearly misstates efficiency (think: 60% would be very poor for a main propulsion clutch) • Eliminate statements that say torsional vibrations are transmitted directly; think about whether hydraulic fluid tends to cushion or to transmit shocks unchanged
