friction clutch

Friction clutches are by far the most well-known type of clutches.

It was significant at that time because it used a friction clutch, and also had a drive shaft to power the wheels.

In this case generally forward reverse synchronizers are replaced by the multi-plate friction clutches.

They may use any of the pedal mechanisms, though the balanced action system is by far the most common, followed by the friction clutch system.

It is not at all suited to intentional slipping, in contrast with the foot-operated friction clutch of a manual-transmission car.

Twice thereafter the manufacturing plant was rebuilt, and Wheeler added friction clutch and gas engine products.

There is also the friction clutch, where the driver releases the clutch pedal and the disk slips against the flywheel.

The giant rolls were belt-driven, in opposite directions, through friction clutches, although the belt was not depended upon for the actual crushing.

The friction clutch on the hoist holding the transformer was slipping and the mass of metal began to fall, wobbling sidewise.

The friction clutch or post and clutch system uses a clutch that moves along a post.

Without slippage, dog clutches are not affected by wear in the same way that friction clutches are.

Clutch: conventional friction clutch, cable operated.

The rear engine was started first by compressed air, then the front engine was started through a mechanical friction clutch.

"Twin Disc" is the name of the company (which originally manufactured friction clutches) and does not describe the construction of the torque converter.

The detachment was ordered to rely upon the friction clutches for steadiness of aim, when necessary, and not upon the tight fit of the parts.

In a friction clutch system, the pedal is held in one spot by a clutch, and the clutch is attached to a pole.

This type of timer often has a friction clutch between the gear train and the cam, so that the cam can be turned to reset the time.

The ABS II differed in size and an electronically controlled friction clutch was mounted on the shaft instead of a plunger.

The purpose of friction clutches is to connect a rotating member to one that is stationary, to bring it up to speed and to transmit power with little slippage.

This clutch replaced conventional friction clutches in several cars, including some Subaru and Renault models; it has also been used in computer tape drives and jet planes.

The locomotive drive was achieved by means of a mechanical, three-stage gear train with friction clutch via a jackshaft lying between the axles and connecting rods to the axles.

The clutch that mates the engine to the transmission in a modern manual-shift automobile is a friction clutch whose disc and pressure plate are smooth; they lock up simply through friction.

The engine is a Gardner 8-cylinder, 4 stroke 8L3 of 204 hp (152 kW) connected to a Hunslet 4-speed gearbox through a Hunslet patent friction clutch.

The manual transmission (case code designation: AOR) featured a higher friction clutch disc setup, and an external cooler, and also featured a limited slip differential with a 40% lockup setting.

The HydraMatic was designed to combine hydraulic operation of a planetary gearbox (allowing much shifting to be automated) with a fluid coupling instead of a friction clutch, eliminating the need for de-clutching.
