Purpose
The magnetic clutch transmits the rotation force from the engine to the shaft in the A/C compressor.
Function
The magnetic clutch engages or disengages the magnetic clutch and the A/C turns on or off by switching the power transmission from the engine.
Construction
The magnetic clutch is installed to the A/C compressor.
The magnetic clutch consists of the following parts:
Pressure plate
A/C compressor pulley
Stator
Snap ring
Shim
Operation
Magnetic clutch disengagement
1. If there is no energization in the magnetic clutch stator from the A/C relay, the pressure plate cannot be engaged with the A/C compressor pulley because the magnetic clutch stator does not operate.
2. The rotation force from the drive belt is only transmitted to the A/C compressor pulley and the pulley spins.
