CLUTCH FOR TRANSMISSION

WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/172863

A1

A clutch for a transmission is configured in such a manner that a transmission case (53) is provided with a first wall section (55a) and a second wall section (54a) which define a clutch housing chamber (56) for housing: the extended section (13a) of a first transmission shaft (13) which is extended from a shaft end section (15a) of a second transmission shaft (15); a clutch outer member (58); a clutch inner member (61); and friction members (66, 67). The clutch outer member (58) is supported by the first wall section (55a) through a first bearing (60), and the clutch inner member (61) is supported through a second bearing (63) by a through-hole (54b) in the second wall section (54a) through which the first transmission shaft (13) penetrates. As a result of the configuration, the clutch outer member (58) and the clutch inner member (61) are supported independently of the first and second transmission shafts (13, 15) by the transmission case (53). This improves the coaxiality between the clutch outer member (58) and the clutch inner member (61), prevents a reduction in the torque transmission capacity of the clutch (17), and reduces torque fluctuation. As a result, the occurrence of judder is avoided to minimize and reduce the vibration of the transmission.
