SPRING, CLUTCH DOG PIN

$2.10

Description
  1. Function: The spring for the clutch dog pin is designed to exert force on the clutch mechanism, ensuring proper engagement and disengagement of gears during shifting operations. It helps maintain tension and alignment between the clutch dog and the clutch sleeve, allowing for smooth and reliable gear changes.
  2. Design: Typically, the spring is a coil spring made from durable and corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel or high-strength alloys. It is designed to withstand repeated compression and expansion cycles without deformation or loss of tension. The spring’s dimensions and stiffness are carefully chosen to provide the necessary force for efficient gear shifting.
  3. Installation: Installing the spring for the clutch dog pin involves positioning it between the clutch dog and the clutch sleeve within the gearbox assembly. Care must be taken to ensure proper alignment and orientation of the spring to avoid interference with other components and to achieve optimal performance of the clutch mechanism.
  4. Maintenance: Regular inspection and maintenance of the clutch mechanism, including the spring, are essential to ensure smooth and reliable operation of the propulsion system. This may include checking for signs of wear, fatigue, or corrosion on the spring and replacing it if necessary to prevent malfunction or failure of the clutch assembly.
