Abstract :

This paper presents the behaviour of the elastic and safety clutch in dynamic regime. The clutch in question is an elastic and safety clutch, as mentioned before, with equiangular cam and elastic follower. From a constructive point of view the clutch is a simple one that has the functions of both an elastic and of a safety clutch. The characteristics of the clutch under different operating regimes of a mechanical transmission are presented: startup under load, operation in normal conditions with the appearance of shock torque which is kept constant for a time period, the shut–down of the transmission which works under normal conditions. Conclusions regarding the elastic and safety clutch’s behaviour under different operating regimes are drawn.
