Operation accuracy of adaptive friction clutch with separate force closure

The possibility to increase feedback gain and operation accuracy of the adaptive friction clutch is revealed at the expense of the friction couple separate force closure of the basic and supplementary friction groups. The load characteristic of the clutch is presented in the form of a curve monotonically increasing in the full range of the friction coefficient variation. The obtained results of three options of the coupling fluent parameters variability have shown that to attain a maximum operation accuracy of the clutch with separate force closure executed according to the second option, it is necessary to take the maximum possible number of friction couples of the basic friction group, and the maximum gain level.
