Abstract:
A transmission brake device includes: a friction plate set configured such that a plurality of rotation-side friction plates; an engaging piston disposed on an axial side of the friction plate set; a clearance adjustment piston disposed on a side of the engaging piston opposite to the friction plate set,; a clearance adjustment hydraulic chamber configured to move the clearance adjustment piston; and an engaging hydraulic chamber configured to move the engaging piston; a biasing member disposed between each adjacent pair of the fixed-side friction plates, the biasing member being configured to bias each adjacent pair of the fixed-side friction plates in directions away from each other. The biasing member distributes the clutch clearance in a gap between each adjacent pair of the fixed-side friction plates when a hydraulic pressure is supplied only to the clearance adjustment hydraulic chamber.
Abstract:
A friction clutch having first and second clutch members, a plurality of first clutch plates, a plurality of second clutch plates and a first electromagnet. The first clutch member is formed of a first magnetically susceptible material. The first clutch plates are axially slidably and non-rotatably coupled to the first clutch member and are formed of a second magnetically susceptible material. The second clutch plates are axially slidably and non-rotatably coupled to the second clutch member. The second clutch plates are interleaved with the first clutch plates. The first electromagnet has a first pole that is magnetically coupled to the first clutch member. The first clutch plates are driven apart from one another when the first electromagnet is operated to generate a magnetic field.
Abstract:
Dual clutch including two clutch units acting in a force-fitting manner and mounted on a common clutch hub in a rotationally fixed and axially movable manner, a pressure disk arrangement retained between the clutch units on the clutch hub in an axially fixed manner and including two axially movable pressure pistons each of which can be ventilated by a compression spring arrangement positioned in the clutch hub. Each compression spring arrangement includes multiple compression springs, each of which is arranged in a recess of the clutch hub. Each recess is introduced into the clutch hub as an axially extending blind hole. The pressure disk arrangement is received in a radial groove of the clutch hub, the groove being radially and/or axially spaced from the blind holes.
Abstract:
A friction starter drive unit comprises a drive pinion for meshing with a starter ring gear. A drive element and a friction clutch are between the drive element and the drive pinion. The friction clutch has a reaction element rotatably fixed to the drive pinion and a pressure element solidly connected to the drive element. The drive element moves relative to the reaction element between uncoupled and coupled positions, and a resilient means biases the reaction element and the drive element toward the uncoupled position. A retaining washer is rotatably fixed to the reaction plate or the drive element. When the retaining washer is rotatably linked to the reaction plate, the resilient means is positioned between the reaction plate and the retaining washer, and, when the retaining washer is rotatably linked to the drive element, the resilient means is positioned between the drive element and the retaining washer.
Abstract:
A wet friction disk that can achieve a further reduction in the drag torque, which includes a ring-shaped core plate having a wave shape in a circumferential direction thereof, a friction member disposed on a principal surface of the core plate so as to being substantially shaped into a ring with a plurality of oil grooves, and the oil grooves each have a shape with a groove width that is narrowed from an inner circumference side toward an outer circumference side of the core plate.
Abstract:
A multi-disk shifting element of a motor vehicle transmission, which includes a plurality of outer disks (2) and a plurality of lining disks (1) which, when viewed axially, are arranged in alternation one after another. The outer disks include a number of flat outer disks (AL1) and a number of corrugated outer disks (AL2, AL3).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a multi-disc clutch for the transfer of torque between a first clutch part and a second clutch part, having at least one first and at least one second disc that engage on another and that are movable parallel to a rotational axis of the multi-disc clutch, and having a reset device for the receiprocal ventilation of adjacent discs. The first clutch part is connected in a rotationally secure fashion to the first disc and the second clutch part is connected in a rotationally secure fashion to the second disc. The reset device has at least two reset elements that are disposed eccentrically relative to the rotational axis and distributed in the circumferential direction.
Abstract:
A PTO clutch assembly is directed to marine environment usage with a propeller drive shaft. The PTO clutch assembly can be operated at 7 degrees of axial tilt. A clutch friction disc has a recessed area that reduces the need for initial break-in.
Abstract:
A multiple plate friction clutch includes clutch plates or discs having reduced frictional (spin) losses and thus reduced heat generation and improved service life. The clutch plates include both leaf springs or spring tabs at the periphery of the clutch plate that axially bias adjacent plates away from one another and a reduced area of friction material that contacts an adjacent reaction plate. On a typical motor vehicle automatic transmission clutch, a total of six or eight leaf springs or tabs are utilized: with three or four offset to one side and three or four offset to the other side.
Abstract:
A hydrokinetic coupling device includes a lock-up clutch having at least one friction disc mounted such that it can slide axially with respect to a first rotary shaft, at least one first backing disc rotating as one with a secondary rotary shaft and a support ring to support the backing disc. The support ring has at least one axial groove circumferentially delineated by an upstream face and by a downstream face. A radial guide tooth of each backing disc is housed such that it can slide axially in the groove. Elastic preload elements are provided which are able to exert a preload torque to clamp the guide tooth of each braking disc circumferentially against one of either the upstream or downstream faces of the guide groove.
