Abstract: A clutch apparatus is equipped with two clutch structures having a clutch drum therein. A driven plate and a piston are provided in the clutch drum of each clutch structure, and a primary coned disc spring and a secondary coned disc spring, which are ring-shaped, are provided between the driven plate and the piston. A flat portion is formed on an inner peripheral portion of a convex surface of the primary coned disc spring, and the flat portion can come into contact with a counter member first when a load is applied. A load in a flat condition due to elastic deformation is adjusted by the flat portion so as to be a desirable value. Blanks and of the primary coned disc spring and the secondary coned disc spring can be obtained from one sheet of material having the same thickness. In this case, the flat portion is formed by press forming on an inner peripheral portion of the blank in view of the shape thereof after bending forming is performed.

Abstract: A method for determining deterioration of a dry clutch mounted between an engine and a motor of a hybrid vehicle includes determining whether an entry condition to determine the deterioration of the dry clutch is satisfied. Roughness of the dry clutch is determined when the entry condition is satisfied. A deviation between the roughness of the dry clutch and a reference value is calculated, and the deviation is compared with a threshold value. A roughness counter of the dry clutch is increased when the deviation is larger than the threshold value. The roughness counter of the dry clutch is compared with a boundary value. It is determined that the dry clutch deteriorates when the roughness counter of the dry clutch is larger than the boundary value.

Abstract: A pivot ring for a clutch assembly which has a first annular segment, a second annular segment, and a radial segment. The first annular segment has a first face on a front side of the pivot ring and the second annular segment has a second face, predominately opposing the first face, on a back side of the ring. The radial segment is disposed between the first annular segment and the second annular segment, connecting the first annular segment and the second annular segment. The first annular segment, the second annular segment, or both the first annular segment and the second annular segment can include axial protrusions with arcuately shaped pivot portions. Preferably, in the clutch assembly, the pivot ring is disposed between the diaphragm spring and the pressure plate, allowing for rotational freedom between the pressure plate and the diaphragm spring.
