Chikamu chinoshanda uye chikamu chinotyairwa checlutch chinoitwa zvishoma nezvishoma nekukweshana pakati penzvimbo dzekusangana, kana nekushandisa iyo mvura senzira yekutapurirana (hydraulic coupling), kana nekushandisa iyo magineti drive (electromagnetic clutch), kuitira kuti zvikamu zviviri izvi zvitaurirwe kune mumwe nemumwe panguva yekufambisa.
Parizvino, iyo friction clutch ine spring compression inoshandiswa zvakanyanya mumotokari (inonzi friction clutch). Iyo torque inoburitswa neinjini inoendeswa kune inofambiswa dhisiki kuburikidza nekukweshana pakati peiyo flywheel uye yekusangana pamusoro peiyo pressure disc uye inofambiswa disc. Kana mutyairi anodzvinyirira clutch pedal, iyo yakakura yekupedzisira ye diaphragm spring inotyaira disc yekumanikidza kumashure kuburikidza nekufambiswa kwechikamu. Iyo inofambiswa chikamu inoparadzaniswa kubva kune inoshanda chikamu.
