Centerforce Clutches has combined its superior centrifugally assisted diaphragm pressure plate with a revolutionary new Dual-Friction disc that utilizes dissimilar friction compounds on each of 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 ...

Automotive clutches have been in use for more than a century, including the Mustang for 50 years. When the Mustang was introduced in 1964, manual three-speed and four-speed models used crude ...

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 ...

Regardless of how much power an engine produces, it's useless without a means to transmit it to the rear wheels and thus to the pavement. In the case of automobiles, the most common means are an ...

A&A Manufacturing Company, Inc. North Haven, Conn. Continuous and intermittent slip clutches nd myriad uses, and engineers improve new motion control applications with them every day. How do they work ...

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 ...

Spring technology for damping is relatively old. Stagecoaches had leaf springs, early trains had large, crude, coil-spring buffers (to absorb shocks when cars bumped together) and early automobiles ...
