Flyweels

Solid Disk Flywheels
Two different types of stresses are used in solid disk flywheels – radial stress and tangential stress. These high-utility tools typically have a disk and a hub section. In order to get a proper idea about the usability of a solid disk flywheel, its 'mass amount of inertia' has to be calculated (by using the disk mass and the outer radius). The density of the flywheel material also has to be considered.

Rimmed Flywheels
The main parts of a rimmed flywheel are its inner hub, outer ring (also known as the 'rim'), and arms. Generally, rimmed flywheels have 4-6 arms. A definite centrifugal force is exerted on the rims of the flywheel – and that generates tensile stress on it. The moment of inertia of the rim, along with the factor for the mass moment of inertia, are important parameters of rimmed flywheels.

High-Velocity Flywheels
The rakish speed of high-velocity flywheels generally varies in the 30K rpm and 60K rpm range. If required, this velocity can be increased to a certain extent. The user-friendly and lightweight nature of these flywheels is one of the biggest reasons behind their popularity. The cost of high-velocity flywheels is usually higher than that of low-velocity flywheels.

Low-Velocity Flywheels
The angular velocity of low-velocity flywheels is significantly lower than their high-velocity counterparts (generally, the maximum speed of these flywheels is 10K rpm). While they are relatively cheaper in terms of cost, the huge size of low-velocity flywheels can prove to be a challenge. Unlike high-velocity flywheels, a low-velocity flywheel does not have handy levitation directional features. In addition, the latter also requires support on an intermittent basis. When installed correctly (generally, with additional construction support), low-velocity flywheels deliver efficient and economical performance. Buyers should get the different parts of these flywheels inspected from time to time.

Single Mass Flywheels
Single mass flywheels are manufactured with a single piece of casting material, and they do not have any movable pieces. They facilitate fast-revving of engines and help to maintain a stable connection between the engine and the clutch assembly system. The enhanced warp resistance and thermal resistance of single mass flywheels are big advantages – and these flywheels can withstand sudden changes in gear and engine speed.

Dual Mass Flywheels
There are two separate flywheels in a dual-mass flywheel – the first fitted to the clutch, and the other to the crankshaft. These flywheels have very good weight capacities (up to 50 kg) and monthly capacities. Diesel vehicles that are rather large in size and have manual transmissions generally use dual-mass flywheels (select petrol vehicles use them too). The strong springs in the flywheels minimize torsional spikes and keep the gearbox protected.
