ADJUSTABLE HYDRAULIC CLUTCH WITH A LOCK (EMBODIMENTS) Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC F16D33/06 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions refers to machine building, and more specifically to hydraulic clutches. Adjustable hydraulic clutch with a lock contains the turbine and pump shafts and a rotating or non-rotating tank that is adjustable in volume of the periphery of the working cavity. End surfaces of the tank are connected to each other by an elastic bellows made in the form of an annular corrugation that is adjustable in length. When adjusting the bellows in one direction, synchronously with the change in the filling of the working variable volume of the tank of the adjustable hydraulic clutch with a lock, the operating clearance between the blades of the pump and turbine impellers also changes. When adjusting the bellows to the other side, only the filling of the working variable volume of the tank of the adjustable clutch with a lock changes.

EFFECT: smooth regulation of the torque is achieved.
