Abstract:
The present invention provides a starting clutch apparatus comprising a damper device connected to an output member of an engine, a wet type multi-plate clutch housed in a housing, a piston for pressing the wet type multi-plate clutch to tighten the clutch, and an output member connected to an input shaft of an automatic transmission and wherein an output of the engine is connected to or disconnected from the input shaft of the automatic transmission by engaging or disengaging the wet type multi-plate clutch, and further wherein the housing is provided with a discharge oil path through which oil which lubricated the wet type multi-plate clutch is returned toward the automatic transmission.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a starting clutch apparatus disposed between a transmission and an engine of a vehicle and including a wet type multi-plate clutch for transmitting a power, in which the starting clutch apparatus includes a starting clutch having a clutch drum within which the wet type multi-plate clutch is housed and a damper device engaged by the clutch drum, and grease of urea group is contained in the damper device.
Abstract:
A double-wrap band brake apparatus has a double-wrap brake band comprising an annular intermediate band a pair of annular outer bands. The brake apparatus is used to brake a rotating member fitted in the double-wrap brake band. A center deviation correcting member is provided for correcting a center deviation between the intermediate band and the outer bands.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a wet type multi-plate friction engaging apparatus in which axially shiftable outer tooth plates provided on an inner peripheral surface of a drum, and inner tooth plates disposed within the drum and spline-connected to an outer peripheral surface of a hub having lubricating oil supply holes open to the outer surface of the hub are arranged coaxially and alternately, so that the outer tooth plates and the inner tooth plates can be frictionally engaged with each other between a piston disposed at a closed end of the drum and a flange disposed at an open end of the drum by an urging force of the piston, and wherein the drum is not rotated or rotated at a low speed, and friction material are adhered to only the outer tooth plates or the outer tooth plates and the flange.
Abstract:
A wet frictional engagement plate comprising a core metal having a surface and a wet frictional material containing a fiber component, a filler, a friction adjustment agent and a thermosetting resin, the wet frictional material being fixed onto a surface of the core metal. Before or after the wet frictional material is fixed onto the surface of the core metal, the surface of the wet frictional material is subjected to a surface treatment process comprising pressing a smooth-faced hot plate of a temperature in a range of from 350.degree. C. to 550.degree. C., which temperature is selected so that it does not carbonize the thermosetting resin, against the surface of the wet frictional material for a time in a range of from 1 to 5 seconds. The wet frictional engagement plate has a friction coefficient which does not change and remains stable from initial use, and also has a long endurance life.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a starting clutch disposed between a transmission and an engine and having a wet type multi-plate clutch for transmitting a power, in which the wet type multi-plate clutch includes a plurality of friction plates housed for an axial sliding movement, a clutch drum for housing the friction plates, and a piston for urging a radial central region or therearound of the friction plate to engage the friction plates, and oil which has lubricated the wet type multi-plate clutch is temporarily trapped within the clutch drum and then is discharged.
Abstract:
A lubrication controlling method for a starting clutch including a wet type multi-plate clutch disposed between a transmission and an engine of a vehicle and adapted to transmit a power, the method including always supplying lubricant oil during an operation of the wet type multi-plate clutch, continuously changing a flow amount of the lubricant oil in accordance with a condition of the wet type multi-plate clutch, and controlling the amount of the lubricant oil so that a supplied amount of the lubricant oil during an idle rotation of the wet type multi-plate clutch is greater than a supplied amount of the lubricant oil during the complete engagement of the wet type multi-plate clutch.
Abstract:
According to an embodiment, a communication terminal includes a wireless communication unit, a radio signal detection unit, and a control unit. The wireless communication unit performs a wireless communication process with other terminal that transmits a radio signals for requesting the wireless communication between terminals. The radio signal detection unit waits for the radio signals with lower operating power than operating power when the wireless communication unit waits for the radio signals. The control unit activates the wireless communication unit to cause the wireless communication unit to perform a connection process of the wireless communication when the radio signal detection unit detects the radio signal.
Abstract:
A one-way clutch includes an outer race, an inner race which is spaced from the outer race in an inside diameter direction and arranged concentrically so as to be relatively rotatable, a plurality of engaging members which are arranged between the outer race and the inner race to transmit a torque, and a cage which retains the engaging members. The one-way clutch is provided with volute springs which urge the engaging members in the direction in which the engaging members engage with a cam face of the outer race or the inner race.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a controlling method for a starting clutch disposed between a transmission and an engine of a vehicle and having a wet type multi-plate clutch for transmitting a power and a piston for pressing the wet type multi-plate clutch to engage the wet type multi-plate clutch, wherein, while the starting clutch is being subjected to creep control, the pressing force of the piston is controlled variably.
