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 ...

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 ...

In automatic transmissions a smooth clutch operation is related to the velocity dependence of the coefficient of friction (COF). Although JASO M348 and other full-scale clutch tests, or other ...

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 ...

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 ...

Featuring a snap-on gear, this modular friction clutch boasts of being easy to assemble, as no hardware or tools are needed to mount the gear. The CS-08 series friction clutch is designed for use in ...

Automatic transmissions equipped with Modulated Torque Converter Clutches (MTCC) require an effective combination of automatic transmission fluid (ATF) - friction material in order to maintain ...

Over the last decade, numerical simulation has become an indispensible tool for designing all kinds of engineered components. Here’s a short technical review of how to use finite-element analysis (FEA ...

Every clutch is made up of two major components: a pressure plate that's bolted directly to the flywheel and a disc, also called a driven plate or a friction lining, that's sandwiched in between the ...
