MAGNETIC CLUTCH
The magnetic clutch consists of a stationary elec-
tro-magnetic coil and a rotating pulley and plate as-
sembly.
The electromagnetic coil is retained on the com-
pressor with a snap ring and is dimpled to maintain
its position.The pulley and plate assembly are mounted on the
compressor shaft.
When the compressor is not in operation, the pul-
ley free wheels on the clutch hub bearing. When the
coil is energized the plate is magnetically engaged
with the pulley and turns the compressor shaft.
REMOVAL
(1) Insert the 2 pins of the front plate spanner into
any 2 threaded holes of the clutch front plate (Fig.
3). Hold clutch plate stationary. Remove hex nut
with 19 mm (3/4 inch) socket (Fig. 3).
