Abstract

847,559. Friction clutches. CATERPILLAR TRACTOR CO. Sept. 15, 1958 [June 10, 1958], No. 29438/58. Class 80 (2). In a spring-engaged final drive clutch for a crawler tractor wherein friction-plates 13 are splined to inner and outer drums 11, 12 which are detachably mounted on driving and driven housings 23, 41, respectively, clutch release is effected through a release-plate 17 by hydraulic means comprising an annular piston 33 axially moved by fluid pressure in the housing 23, the engaging surfaces of the piston 33 and release-plate 17 remaining free to rotate relative to each other, and, for inspection &c., the clutch assembly is transversely removable from its housing, whilst leaving the hydraulic means operatively intact, by removing bolts 42, 43 and retracting the drum 11 and the piston 33 to positions within the axial limits of the drum 12 and the housing 23, respectively. Springs 16 normally grip the friction plates through the release plate 17, bolts 19, a flange 21 and a presser-plate 22. Fluid under pressure is introduced into the housing 23 through a line 34, a rotary connection 35 and an axial bore 36.
