CLUTCH Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: invention can be used to protect drives of press-forging, mining, load lifting and other machines whose operating member is exposed to considerable overloads in process of operation. Said clutch has driving clutch member installed on motor shaft and driven clutch member installed on reduction gear shaft. Slots for pack of friction disks are made in driving clutch member. Clutch is provided with intermediate sleeve with inner slots for driving friction disks. Sleeve is mechanically coupled by its inner surface at one end with motor shaft, and by outer diameter of other end it is aligned to inner diameter of reduction gear shaft. Driven clutch member arranged inside intermediate sleeve is provided with outer slots for driven friction disks. Driven clutch member is essentially a hollow shaft one end of which is aligned to inner diameter of intermediate sleeve and other end is mechanically coupled with reduction gear shaft. Compression spring is placed between end face of hollow shaft and nut installed in reduction gear shaft. EFFECT: simplified design. 1 dwg
