Single plate clutch is most common type of clutch used in motor vehicles. It has only one clutch plate mounted on the splines of the clutch shft. It acts as driven member.
The driving member consists of a flywheel mounted on the crankshaft and rotate with it. The pressure plate is botted to the flywheel through clutch springs, and is free to slide on the clutch shaft when the clutch pedal is operated.
The operating members consists of a clutch pedal, linkage, release bearing, release levers and the pressure springs necessary to insure the proper operations of the clutch.

WORKING:
When the clutch is engaged, the pressure springs press the pressure plate on to the fricyion plate. While the engine is running, the friction plate rotates the clutch shaft. Thus a connection is made between the engine and gear box.
When the clutch pedal is pressed, the pressure plate moves back against the force of the springs, and the clutch plate becomes free between flywheel and pressure plate. Thus the flywheel remains rotating as long as the engine is running and clutch shaft speed reduces slowly and finally its stops rotating. The engine is now disengaged from the transmission system.
