In this video we see how the multi-disc clutch of motorcycles works, composed of a series of "driven" discs mounted on a hub; the surface of the discs has a high coefficient of friction (sintered bronze, graphite, etc.). Alternating with these are the "driving" steel fingers. All are fitted into the so-called "bell" and rotate together, pressed by four helical springs and push on a plate which in turn presses on the disc pack. By pushing on the plate and on the helical springs from the opposite side, we will cancel the pressure on the discs through the pushrod, connected to the lever that the motorcyclist uses to disconnect the transmission from the engine. Power is transmitted from the engine to the gearbox only if the discs are engaged.
