There's a problem with clutch disks shown in picture. The problem is the plates and spline hubs which passes all static tests with nominal numbers, but in reality on the cars fraction and collusion of the clutch disk happens. The fractions and collusion happens in the gears shown in picture.
I got some ideas about it but let me know your ideas too. thanks.
I consider fatigue as the main culprit. Interaction between two different materials produces unexpected wear and tear.
Food luck!
so can we delay the fatigue of the plate with increasing the thickness of it?
Hi guys, looking at the torsion springs, these seem to be a little to light for the job. allowing the clutch centre to chatter back & forth when engagement & disengagement is taking place... I also notice some wear on the end of the splines. This area seems to be loaded by something that is wearing on it, something like the pressure plate etc;
Also, knowing what the plate is used for, how fast is the engagement/disengagement etc;, what method of application, hyd, air, elect or mechanical (cable or rod/shaft) more info might help..
But my initial thoughts is that the springs are too light & it is chattering...
Hope this helps guys...
Dear Joseph..
Thank you very much indeed. this is the hub plate of a 1.8L car with 8 valves and 98hp.
the analysis was on the 850 rpm. and i found out the better stiffness coefficient for the springs. and i also found that the damping coefficient is low in this clutch disk. so you're right. and thank you for letting me knowing your idea.
Hope you good days.
