Why are grooves included in the friction plate material?
The grooves visible in Fig. 1 are pressed in the friction material to make a larger cool flow possible between the friction discs even when the clutch is working under boundary lubrication condition, i.e. surfaces in contact with each …
What is the effect of a worn groove on the performance?
One sign of worn grooves is that it will cause one or more belts to ride lower than the others. This is known as differential driving, resulting in premature wearing of belts and reduced performance levels (Fig. 1).
What is a groove pattern?
The groove patterns perform three major functions first they help eliminate noise such as squealing, secondly they remove the oil film on the surface of the plates & thirdly they keep the surface of the friction material supplied with oil to assist in dissipating energy into the ambient surroundings during engagement.
What is the purpose of friction lining in the clutch?
Clutch disc comes in direct contact with the flywheel of the engine for power transmission. It consists of frictional material on both sides and an axial cushion is sandwiched between them. Friction lining is used to prevent the slippage between the two contacting surfaces.
Which material is applied on clutch plate as friction material?
Materials. A common friction material is an organic compound resin with a copper wire facing or a ceramic material. Ceramic materials can often transmit higher torque loads, but they can cause increased wear rates of the flywheel.
What is the function of clutch system?
No matter the application, the function and purpose of a clutch is to transmit torque from a rotating driving motor to a transmission. Clutches require a mode of actuation in order to break the transmission of torque.
How do I know if my sheave is worn out?
A sheave gauge, usually consisting of plastic wedges shaped like a new belt, can be inserted into the groove. If the gauge doesn’t fit squarely into the groove and you can see daylight around the edges, your sheave is worn and must be replaced.
What creates grooves?
Groove is the sense of propulsive rhythmic “feel” or sense of “swing” created by the interaction of the music played by a band’s rhythm section (drums, electric bass or double bass, guitar, and keyboards). Groove is a consideration in genres such as salsa, funk, rock, fusion, and soul.
What does feel the groove mean?
If you can’t “find your groove,” you feel off track and out of whack. But when you’re “in the groove,” everything is working smoothly and you’ve found a good routine. And if someone says “let’s groove!”, they want to dance. Definitions of groove.
