The functions of the flywheel are as follows:-. 1] It stores energy produced by the engine and returns it when required. 2] Provides constant speed during all strokes. 3] It delivers power smoothly to the output shaft. 4] It helps for the balancing of the crankshaft and thus reduces the vibrations in the crankshaft.
The flywheel, an often-overlooked component in the powertrain, plays a crucial role in ensuring smooth engine operation, reliable starting, and enhanced driving experience. Understanding its parts, functions, and troubleshooting potential issues empowers vehicle owners to recognize the importance of maintaining a healthy flywheel. Regular
