Fluid Actuated Clutches TRIZ Cases
- Trailer Driveshaft Locking Mechanism for Safe Clutch Engagement
Spring-loaded plungers shift the driveshaft only when clutch alignment is safe, enabling reliable switching between self-propelled and towed trailer modes.
- Hydraulic Clutch Current Profiling for Fast, Low-Shock Engagement
Staged valve current control raises then tapers hydraulic pressure to speed clutch engagement while reducing flywheel contact shock.
- Vehicle Drivetrain Coupling with Spring-Latched Fast Switching
A spring-loaded latch lets the coupling element switch quickly between engaged and disengaged states while reducing actuator power demand.
- Square Baler Gear Assembly With Flywheel-Clutch Startup Decoupling
A shiftable clutch lets the flywheel spin up before the ram engages, cutting startup stalling risk and reducing baler drive train weight.
- Selective Clutch Fluid Delivery for Higher-Gear Transmission Launches
A PLC and solenoid valves vary clutch-package fluid pressure and cooling to enable higher-gear launches and PTO control in transmissions.
- Sheet Metal Multi-Plate Clutch Assembly for Centrifugal Oil Compensation
Radially nested multi-plate clutches use one-piece sheet metal pistons and compensation chambers to counter centrifugal pressure and save space.
- Concentric Clutch Drive Axle for Single-Motor Torque Vectoring
Concentric hydraulic disc clutches let one electric machine vector torque across a vehicle axle with less gear complexity, weight, and drag.
