Description
 

A flywheel is used primarily in manual transmissions. It is attached to the engine crankshaft, and holds the ring-gear that is used to crank the engine. The wheel connects directly to the clutch, stores energy to move the vehicle from inertia, and provides a friction surface for the clutch to attach to. Because of this, these parts are usually cast, and are thick and heavy, to allow for the clutch’s surface.

The ring is then heated, and either stamped or bored to size on the minor diameter. Next, the gear teeth are hobbed onto the ring, and hardened to improve strength and resistance. Lastly, the ring is shrunk onto the flywheel.
When the engine is started, the engine crankshaft turns, and its pinion gear engages with the gear ring of the flywheel to rotate it, in turn rotating the crankshaft on which it is mounted. The rotating crankshaft moves the engine parts through the combustion cycle to start the engine.

Once the engine is running on its own, the weighted and balanced disc of the wheel keeps the crankshaft running smoothly between combustion cycles, preventing the engine from slowing down between piston firings.

Characteristic

1.Smoothing the power output of an energy source. For example, flywheels are used in reciproing engines because the active torque from the individual pistons is intermittent.
2.Energy storage systems
3.Delivering energy at rates beyond the ability of an energy source. This is achieved by collecting energy in a flywheel over time and then releasing it quickly, at rates that exceed the abilities of the energy source.
4.Controlling the orientation of a mechanical system, gyroscope and reaction wheel
