Drag torque in wet clutches arises from the viscous shearing of lubricants in the narrow gaps between clutch plates, and it represents a significant source of power loss in automotive and industrial ...

Most of us don't get to choose what kind of clutch sits between the crankshaft and the transmission – that decision has already been made on the factory floor. So whether your clutch is as wet as a ...

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 ...

In this webinar, we cover the motivation and method of a bench-top screening test for the friction characteristics of wet clutch materials and automatic transmission fluids (ATFs). A critical ...

2009 - PACE Award Winner LuK Gmbh and Co. What: Dry Double Clutch for Transmissions Judge's Citation: The LuK Dry Double Clutch is intended to displace wet clutches in double-clutch transmissions, ...

The life of the clutch, being an integral component of the transmission, directly impacts the gearbox's stability. A finite element model and a thermodynamic numerical method of a multi-disc clutch ...
