Wedge Design and Dynamic Characteristics Analysis of Unequal-Length Wedge Slant Support Clutch

This article proposes a design method for a “slow connect”-type clutch with unequal-length wedges, which ensures the wedges’ wear life while improving the engagement reliability of the clutch. A finite element model of the dynamics of an unequal-length wedge clutch was constructed. Compared with an...
