GEAR TESTING CONDITION OF MAIN FRICTION CLUTCH Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: armored vehicles. SUBSTANCE: invention is meant for realization of constant test of adjustment parameters in process of maintenance of main friction clutch of tank. Proposed gear includes turn-buckle put on longitudinal tie-rod of drive of main friction clutch and panel of driver-mechanic. There are also mounted displacement transducer on longitudinal tie-rod of drive of main friction clutch and transmitter of travel of pressure disc in trip mechanism. Electronic unit incorporates logic NOT and AND gates and flip-flop for displacement transducer on longitudinal tie-rod of drive of main friction clutch and logic NOT and AND gates for transmitter of travel of pressure disc. Indication lamps of displacement of longitudinal tie-rod of drive of main friction clutch and of travel of pressure disc are brought out to panel of mechanic- driver. Given gear takes part in adjustment of main friction clutch in the capacity of measuring element, provides for reduction of time to conduct test and adjustment operations and leads to decreased labor input in maintenance of main friction clutch. Gear is characterized by long service life. EFFECT: reduced time of test and adjustment operations, decreased labor input in maintenance of main friction clutch. 1 dwg
