Abstract:
A clutch for a lift fan is configured such that in an engaged position, two output clutch plates are in frictional communication with input clutch plates and a load is transferred from an input shaft to an output shaft via the two output clutch plates, the input clutch plates and an output shaft lug key, and in a disengaged position each of the two output clutch plates are axially displaced from input clutch plate. A metallic clip is coupled to the outer periphery of the output clutch plate. The metallic clip defines a key way in the output clutch plate.
Abstract:
A composite clutch (110) is adapted to transmit an operational range of torques (60) from a driving member (118) to a driven member (122). The composite clutch (110) incorporates both of a friction clutch assembly (124) and a dog clutch assembly (126), each assembly adapted to address one of two segments (62, 68) of the operational range of torques (60). The clutch (110) further includes a spring-loaded detent system (180) configured to control transition (66) between the two segments (62, 68) of operational ranges of torques (60). The friction clutch assembly (124) includes first friction clutch elements (128) coupled to the driving member (118) and second friction clutch elements (132) coupled to the driven member (122) for providing torque control within the lower operational range of torques (64). The dog clutch assembly (126) includes a first dog clutch element (136) coupled to the driving member (118) and a second dog clutch element (138) coupled to the driven member (122), in which the first and second dog clutch elements (136, 138) are configured to mechanically lock together during the higher operational range of torques (70).

Abstract:
A clutch includes an input, an output, first and second control disks, and a control. The output and the input may be releasably coupled. The first control disk may be positioned between the input and the output. The first control disk and second control disk may be coupled and the output may be moveable between the control disks. The control may apply a torque to the second control disk, establishing a relative rotation between the output and the first control disk and decoupling the output and input.

Abstract:
A preassembled module for a motor vehicle transmission to be arranged between an engine block and gearbox is disclosed. A support element has elements for fixing to the engine block and/or the gearbox. A clutch bearing is mounted on the support element for actuating a clutch. An intermediate rotatable shaft has a splined end to collaborate with a hub of a friction disk of the clutch, and the intermediate shaft collaborates with the support element via a bearing supporting and guiding the rotation of the intermediate shaft with respect to the support element. An electric machine has an external stator supported by the support element and a rotor having a central opening through which the intermediate shaft passes. The rotor rotates as one with the intermediate shaft. A reaction plate of a clutch, on the gearbox side, which rotates as one with the intermediate shaft.

Abstract:
A clutch arrangement for a drivetrain of a vehicle comprises a first friction surface, a second friction surface, a pressing element and a sealing element. The second friction surface is coupled to an output component of the clutch arrangement to be substantially fixed with respect to rotation relative to the output component. The first and second friction surfaces are configured and arranged to be brought into frictional engagement with each other to make a torque transmittable from the first friction surface to the second friction surface. The first and second friction surfaces are further configured to be exposed to a fluid medium. The pressing element is configured to produce or sever the frictional engagement by causing a force along a force direction when actuated. The sealing element is configured to separate a first volume in which the first and second friction surfaces are arranged from a second volume.
