    摘要: A flywheel for use in an automobile between an engine and a clutch assembly is provided. The flywheel is a circular member having an engine side and an opposite clutch side. An aperture is formed in the circular member having an axis, and the aperture is used to operatively attach the flywheel to the engine. A plurality of clutch fins and/or grooves are formed on the clutch side adjacent the outer edge of the circular member and spaced radially about the axis of the aperture of the flywheel. The clutch fins have a face that is generally coplanar with the clutch side of the circular member. The fins and grooves work to cool the internal components of the engine. Optionally, a second set of grooves and fins may be formed on the engine side of the flywheel to further aid in cooling the clutch disc and other engine components.

    摘要: Apparatus for transmitting torque between the engine and the transmission of a motor vehicle has a first flywheel which receives torque from the engine, a second flywheel which receives torque from the first flywheel by way of one or more dampers and a disc and is at least partially encapsulated in the first flywheel in the axial direction of the flywheels, and a friction clutch which serves to couple the second flywheel with or to uncouple the second flywheel from the transmission. A substantial part of the clutch is also encapsulated into the first flywheel so that the dimensions of the apparatus in the axial direction of the flywheels are sufficiently small to warrant its use in motor vehicles with transversely extending engines and transmissions.

    摘要: Apparatus for transmitting torque from the output shaft of the engine to the input shaft of the variable-speed transmission in a motor vehicle has a primary flywheel which is connectable to the output shaft, a secondary flywheel which is connectable to the input shaft by engaging a friction clutch, and one or more dampers which oppose rotation of the flywheels relative to each other. The flywheels define an annular chamber for the damper or dampers, and such chamber surrounds two closely adjacent portions of the flywheels which define a radially extending clearance for the flow of cooling air. The radially inner portion of the chamber is separated from the clearance by an annular seal which is located at most midway between the radially innermost and radially outermost portions of an annular friction surface on the secondary flywheel. Such friction surface is adjacent one friction lining of a clutch plate forming part of the friction clutch and being connectable to the input shaft of the transmission. An antifriction bearing is installed between the flywheels radially inwardly of the clearance.

    摘要: An apparatus for transmitting torque between the output element of an internal combustion engine and the input element of a variable-speed transmission in a motor vehicle has a first flywheel which is screwed or bolted to the output element and a second flywheel which is coaxial with and rotatable relative to the first flywheel and is connected to the input element by the clutch plate of a friction clutch. One or more dampers are provided in a lubricant-containing annular chamber of the first flywheel to oppose rotation of the flywheels relative to each other, and each damper has an annulus of arcuate coil springs acting in the circumferential direction of the flywheels. The cover of the clutch has stressing arms which extend into the chamber and engage the springs.

    摘要: A flywheel system including a rotor shaft. The rotor shaft includes an inner passage therethrough, and a dam with a central opening disposed on a first end of the inner passage. An outer passage surrounds the inner passage. The inner passage is open at a second end, and the outer passage is closed on an end surrounding the second end of the inner passage. The outer passage is open on an end surrounding the first end of the inner passage. Fluid flows into the inner passage at the first end, via the central opening of the dam. Rotation of the flywheel rotor causes the fluid to accumulate along a wall of the inner passage, and to propagate to the second end, where the fluid exits into the outer passage. The fluid propagates along the outer passage to the open end of the outer passage, where it is released.

    摘要: A flywheel (1) for an internal combustion engine is provided for generating a cooling air flow and is especially for a two-stroke engine on a portable handheld work apparatus such as a motor-driven chain saw, cutoff machine or the like. The flywheel (1) carries a parallelopipedly-shaped permanent magnet (5) for a magnetic ignition system. The permanent magnet has a short edge (6), a center edge (7) and a long edge (8). The permanent magnet (5) is polarized in the direction of the short edge (6). To provide a high moment of inertia of the flywheel (1) while achieving a low weight, the short edge of the permanent magnet (5) runs tangentially to the peripheral direction of the flywheel (1) and that the long edge (8) of the permanent magnet (5) is aligned parallel to the rotational axis (11) of the flywheel (1).
