cone clutch

It also had a cone clutch and a foot-operated transmission brake.

As the name implies, a cone clutch has conical friction surfaces.

The best known example of a cone clutch is a synchronizer ring in a manual transmission.

A cone clutch serves the same purpose as a disk or plate clutch.

It contained a cone clutch and two epicyclic gears, allowing four speeds.

Several of the machines had cone clutches.

Transmission was via a cone clutch, 4 speed gearbox and chains propelling the rear wheels.

It had a four-speed gearbox with cone clutch, shaft and bevel-drive back axle.

The synchro ring rotates slightly due to the frictional torque from the cone clutch.

Before the teeth can engage, the cone clutch engages first, which brings the selector and gear to the same speed using friction.

The cone clutch transfers a higher torque than plate or disk clutches of the same size due to the wedging action and increased surface area.

A three-speed gearbox is used, connected to the engine via a short shaft and a leather cone clutch is used.

Cone clutches are generally now only used in low peripheral speed applications although they were once common in automobiles and other combustion engine transmissions.

Small cone clutches are used in synchronizer mechanisms in manual transmissions and some limited-slip differentials.

However, instead of mating two spinning disks, the cone clutch uses two conical surfaces to transmit torque by friction.

Frictional clutches, usually leather-faced cone clutches, were in use before the Hele-Shaw clutch.

It was a well constructed car and had a 6-cylinder engine up front with a cone clutch and a three-speed gearbox mounted at the rear axle.

Power passed through a leather cone clutch ("Lederkonuskupplung") via a four-speed transmission and steel propeller shaft to the rear wheels.

When they do spin the same speed, there is no more torque from the cone clutch and the dog clutch is allowed to fall into engagement.

For this reason, a modern dog clutch in an automobile has a synchronizer mechanism or synchromesh, which consists of a cone clutch and blocking ring.

Gearbox/OD is apart, with some parts out for machining: cone clutches are being resurfaced, needed new pins for planetary gears.

Two speed gearbox was tried but four speed gearbox with cone clutch generally used; Hotchkiss drive with bevel back axle.
