The functional lifetime of a wet clutch can be characterized using wear characteristics such as velocity dependence of the coefficient of friction (COF) and friction curves. Current market trends ...

There are probably some die-hards out there who would like to stand me up in front of a firing squad for saying this, but if it weren't for today's emissions and fuel economy standards, today's ...

Ask nearly any classic Pontiac owner about the effort required to actuate the factory-installed clutch. Back in the day I remember being stuck in traffic in my ...

In automatic transmissions a smooth clutch operation is related to the velocity dependence of the coefficient of friction (COF). Although JASO M348 and other full-scale clutch tests, or other ...

No-slip clutch/brakes keep loads and drives synced up. Machines that move loads to specified positions and hold them within a few thousandths of an inch need highly controllable, precision brakes.

You can't escape friction. The force that resists motion between two objects that are in contact with one another exhibits itself all over the place: in between your engine's rod bearings and its ...
