Title:
MULTI-PLATE CLUTCH MECHANISM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/146465
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A clutch mechanism (5) is provided with: a clutch guide (51) coupled to an input shaft through splines; a clutch hub (52) coupled to an output shaft through splines; friction clutch elements (53, 54) arranged between the clutch hub (52) and the clutch guide (51); and an operating member (56) for engaging the clutch by engaging the friction clutch elements with each other. The axial positions of the clutch guide (51) and the clutch hub (52) are affixed relative to a clutch case (15) through shims (60, 62), and the axial clearance (72) of the clutch hub is set so that, in order to enable the clutch hub (52) to slide relative to the output shaft (7), the axial clearance (72) is greater than an axial change which occurs due to the rigidity of the clutch guide (51) and of the friction clutch elements (53, 54) after the start of clutch engagement. Thus, in a multi-plate clutch, the hysteresis of torque to be transmitted is reduced to improve the accuracy of torque at low cost without providing a special mechanism.
