There are probably some die-hards out there who would like to stand me up in front of a firing squad for saying this, but if it weren't for today's emissions and fuel economy standards, today's ...

The functional lifetime of a wet clutch can be characterized using wear characteristics such as velocity dependence of the coefficient of friction (COF) and friction curves. Current market trends ...

You can't escape friction. The force that resists motion between two objects that are in contact with one another exhibits itself all over the place: in between your engine's rod bearings and its ...

On a vehicle with a traditional manual transmission, engine output is routed through a clutch mechanism to the geardrive assembly. A flywheel bolts to the end of the crankshaft on the rear of the ...

Productivity of a system is characterized by uptime and output. Designers, component makers, and endusers all affect it. In this report, the editors of Motion System Design polled brake and clutch ...

In automatic transmissions a smooth clutch operation is related to the velocity dependence of the coefficient of friction (COF). Although JASO M348 and other full-scale clutch tests, or other ...

There are two major factors to going fast: torque and traction. But getting the torque from the engine to the tires warrants some attention. If you're of the stick-shift persuasion, you've got your ...

• Clutches typically transfer torque via in-line or parallel shafts. • Most single revolution clutches can stop only about 10% of their load capacity. • The torque capacity of a wrap-spring clutch or ...

NSK has announced that its equity affiliate, NSK-Warner K.K., has developed a pawl-type one-way clutch for automobile powertrains. The new one-way clutch is applicable to the lubricant-free ...
