Friction Clutches TRIZ Cases
- Synchronized Wedge Clutch Single Actuator Design
A wedge clutch uses a single actuator and spring-biased pins to synchronize torque transmission stages.
- Clutch Cover Air Vent for Motorcycle Heat Isolation
An air vent hole in the clutch cover channels heated gas away from footrests, resolving thermal discomfort caused by dual clutch transmission heat.
- Self-Engaging Clutch via Friction-Driven Axial Displacement
A self-engaging clutch uses friction to convert input rotation into axial displacement for automatic torque transmission.
- Friction Clutch Tangential Leaf Spring Torque Transmission
A friction clutch uses a tangential leaf spring to transmit torque and position the pressing part.
- In-Wheel Motor Clutch with Centrifugal Linings for 2WD-4WD Switching
Centrifugal linings disengage the drive shaft at high speeds, reducing frictional losses and noise while allowing automatic switching between 2WD and 4WD modes.
- Clutch Outer Weight Reduction via Segmented Material Design
Segmenting the clutch outer into high-strength and lightweight zones resolves the strength versus weight trade-off in transmission assemblies.
- Coupling Assembly for Multi-Axle Driveline Drag Reduction
A coupling assembly with a friction clutch and differential drive segments the driveline to uncouple unused axles.
- Hybrid Overrunning Clutch Composite Outer Ring
A hybrid overrunning clutch pairs a metal outer race with a composite outer ring to reduce weight while maintaining structural integrity.
- Dry Friction Clutch Baffle Tab Limits Adjustment
A baffle tab limits maximum adjustment in a dry friction clutch to prevent over-adjustment damage.
- Clutch Disc Support Axial Flexibility Design
Radial offsets between the spacer and friction lining increase axial flexibility, reducing clutch chattering and squealing.
- Composite Spring Isolating Decoupler for Engine Vibration
A composite spring isolating decoupler transmits torque via frictional clutch engagement between hub and pulley.
- Vehicle Clutch with Conical Friction Surfaces for Heat Dissipation
A vehicle clutch uses conical friction surfaces and radial oil holes to enhance heat dissipation within a compact volume.
- Clutch Spring Preload for Crown Slot Noise Reduction
A spring connects to the drive plate and abuts against clutch drum crowns, preventing rattling noise from relative movement.
- Clutch Cam Disk Actuation Mechanism for Transfer Case
A clutch cam disk actuation mechanism uses scissor levers to convert rotational motion into axial displacement.
- Friction Clutch Adjusting Device Spindle Rigidity
Offset bearing devices increase spindle rigidity against centrifugal force deformation, while a pawl prevents back-rotation of the drive pinion.
- Friction Clutch Wear Inspection via External Test Pointer
A friction clutch integrates a test pointer linked to the pressure plate for external visual inspection of wear.
