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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

It doesn’t matter how much power your 1996-2004 SOHC Modular Mustang is making at the crank if most of it is lost in the driveline via clutch slippage and the dead weight of a heavy low-tech clutch.

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 ...

Clutches and brakes with an electromagnetic interface offer definite advantages, including accurate engaging and clean releasing. Besides being quick, they also run cooler and cleaner, with the ...
