Optimization of diaphragme springs for clutches motor vehicles clutches

摘要

The subject in of this paper is to show possible ways to optimize pressure force which act on diaphragm spring intended for use in motor vehicle clutch. udDuring the exploitation of the clutch, because of friction linings wearing, pressure force which act on the diaphragm spring is changing. The difference of the acting force when it acts on the diaphragm spring and new linings, and when it acts on diaphragm spring and wear linings (in limits), must be kept in very tight limits. This means that the force in both cases has to be constant. Possible solution to achieve this condition is to have changes in diaphragm spring thickens and diaphragm spring finger angle, and during those changes the diameter of the diaphragm spring will stay unchanged. ud
