The picture below shows the belt drive system that commonly
used in vehicle. This belt drives accesories from crackshaft such
as water pump, power steering pump, alternator and AC
compressor. The belt can be multi-belt or serpentine & adjusted
by tensioner / idler pulley
Compressor clutch
Most compressors use a three-part clutch: the
clutch plate (hub/armature), compressor shaft /
rotor, and field coil (magnetic).
The hub is attached to the compressor drive shaft.
It has a plate that is pulled against the rotor when
the clutch is applied.
The rotor is driven by the accessory drive belt; it is
mounted over the front of the compressor using a
bearing so it can rotate.
The coil becomes an electromagnet when current
is sent through it.
Magnetic Coil
In order for a relationship with a compressor
driving motor can be disconnected and connected
(when the AC is turned on and off), then we need a
magnetic coil mounted on the shaft, with pulley
wheel.
