The relative motion between the friction and separate plates in a disengaged wet clutch causes viscous drag torque when the lubrication fluid flows through the clearance. Reduction of the drag torque is one of the important potentials for the improvement of transmission efficiency. The objective of this study is to set up an experimental rig to measure drag torque for a single-plate wet clutch. Visualization of the flow pattern in the clearance through transparent quartz was presented. Design factors and lubrication conditions were tested to evaluate the effects on drag torque. A comparison between the nongrooved plate and grooved plate was made. Plates made up of different materials were also tested to reveal the effects caused by the contact angle. Drag torque increases linearly at low rotating speeds and gradually decreases at high rotating speeds. It is confirmed that fluid completely covers the plate surface at a low rotating speed and air mixes with the fluid at a high rotating speed. A low feeding flow rate is useful to reduce drag torque. The reduction of the drag torque benefits from radial and deep grooves compared to a flat plate. A small contact angle near the stationary plate plays an important role in maintaining the oil film, however, it has little effect on the drag torque at the rotating side because the hydrodynamic force becomes dominant compared to the surface tension force. The test results help to build an accurate mathematical model based on two-phase flow lubrication.

AbstractIn this article developed mathematical model that includes friction occurrence on spline connections is presented. The work also contains results of experimental research on torque capacity of multidisc wet clutch. These results are expressed as a function of contact pressure for different number of friction surfaces. Due to increased interest in research concerning multidisc wet clutches it is essential to determine impact of friction on fit connections on transmitted torque. Analytical calculations that include both known loss coefficient and assumed lack of friction on fit connections are compared to results of experiments. The paper contains detailed description of test stand and methodology of experiment. As a result of conducted tests it was found that correction coefficients known from literature are highly inaccurate. Measured values of torque indicate that transmitted torque reach significantly higher values. It was also revealed that after slippage appeared, the pressure plate usually moved in the direction of exerted clamping force, but movement in reversed direction also took place for some experiments. While movement corresponding to clamping force reached ca. 0.08 mm, in opposite direction amounted to 0.02 mm. Furthermore, studies presented that lapping of adjacent friction surfaces greatly affects differences between respective results obtained for a specific experiment.

The geometrical interpretation of the transformation of cylindrical milling of products into profile milling by shaping cutters with a convex and concave cutting profile is considered. A mathematical model of geometric errors of profile surfaces processed with tools with the specified cutting profiles is developed. On the basis of the model and the results of its analysis, scientifically based recommendations for designing a technological operation for profile milling of products have been developed. When processing a product with a contoured cutter with a concave profile, it is recommended to calculate the geometric errors formed in the transverse plane of the shaping cutter, and when machining with a shaping cutter with a convex cutting profile - in the planes of both its ends. The calculated values of the above geometric errors should be compared with the values limited by the work drawing of the product. The implementation of these recommendations will reduce the labor costs for experimental research and control operations associated with ensuring a given geometric accuracy of products.

In order to improve the low speed stationary of continuous rotary electro-hydraulic servo motor and avoid the pressure impact in the sealed cavity during the oil distributing, this paper designed the shape of buffer groove, established the mathematical model of pressure gradient, and analyzed change law of sealed cavity pressure gradient under different dimension of buffer groove. The pressure field distribution of sealed cavity was studied in certain radial and axial gap, and it is validated the dimension of buffer groove is rational, which lays foundation for structure design and experimental research of large displacement servo motor.
