Nobody's accusing you of not knowing how to pounce on the clutch pedal, pick a gear, let off and push on the gas to get things moving, but, chances are, how exactly the clutch assembly gets all of ...

You can't escape friction. The force that resists motion between two objects that are in contact with one another exhibits itself all over the place: in between your engine's rod bearings and its ...

Centerforce Clutches has combined its superior centrifugally assisted diaphragm pressure plate with a revolutionary new Dual-Friction disc that utilizes dissimilar friction compounds on each of its ...

You know that two surfaces mate, but what is a friction clutch or brake? Using friction has been the most popular way to engage and stop loads since the 1800s. Surfaces interact with ...

Ask nearly any classic Pontiac owner about the effort required to actuate the factory-installed clutch. Back in the day I remember being stuck in traffic in my ...

Friction dynamics in wet clutch systems represent a critical field of study in automotive and mechanical engineering, where precise control of heat, torque, and wear processes is essential for optimal ...

A&A Manufacturing Company, Inc. North Haven, Conn. Continuous and intermittent slip clutches nd myriad uses, and engineers improve new motion control applications with them every day. How do they work ...

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 ...
