182 Electromagnetic friction disk clutch US10987936 2004-11-12 US07143885B2 2006-12-05 Rainer Krafft
An electromagnetically operable friction disk clutch having a electromagnet as well as having a rotor and an armature element to which the electromagnet can apply a magnetic field for interaction of the rotor and armature element, the armature element being arranged on a resting means which moves the armature element along a rotation axis of the rotor by magnetic force through a movement distance to a stop position on the rotor, and returns elastically without any magnetic forces to a position in which the armature element and the rotor can move, with respect to one another, without touching. According to the invention the resetting means comprise not only an elastic component but also a plastic component which at least partially compensates for the increase in the original movement distance resulting from wear by plastic deformation of the resetting means.
183 Electromagnetic clutch US11392619 2006-03-30 US20060219512A1 2006-10-05 Tomonori Matsumura; Hirokazu Ichinose
In this electromagnetic clutch, only each of the plate springs is connected to the second rotor by first connecting members. Therefore, each of the first holes of the plate springs is accurately positioned to the position of each of the second holes of the extended portion. That is, it is not necessary to provide a useless gap between the first connecting members and the each of the holes. Also, the extended portion of the second rotor is opposed to the armature plate in the axial direction. Therefore, the inner diameter of the armature plate can be formed small irrespective of the extended portion.

185 Electromagnetic clutch assembly US10860367 2004-06-03 US20050269182A1 2005-12-08 Jonathan Hammond; Stephen Covert; James Wright
An electromagnetic clutch assembly of the leaf spring type has leaf springs the inner ends of which are fixed to a drive plate by conventional rivets, and the outer ends of which are fixed to the armature plate by special rivets having enlarged diameter shanks that extend through clearance holes in overlaying portions of the drive plate. Rubber damper rings are trapped beneath an enlarged head of the rivet, against the outer surface of the driver plate, without intruding into the radial clearance. The clearance holes allow the rubber rings to compress freely as the leaf springs flex when the clutch is activated. During operation, the transmission of torsional vibrations back through the drive plate and springs to the armature plate is dampened by the compressed rubber rings.

The subject invention improves the electrical connection in a clutch assembly for engaging a compressor in a vehicle air conditioning system. In accordance with the subject invention, a tab extends from the mounting plate and the second end of the ground lead is frictionally retained between the tab and the core winding housing. This is accomplished by turning a tab out of the plane of a mounting plate, placing the second end of the ground lead under the tab and bending the tab downwardly to clamp the second end of the ground lead between the tab and the core winding housing to frictionally retain the second end of the ground lead between the tab and the core winding housing.

193 Electromagnetic clutch US194287 1994-02-10 US5445256A 1995-08-29 Yasuo Tabuchi; Masashi Tobayama; Junichi Ohguchi; Akira Kishibuchi
An electromagnetic clutch capable of reducing a noise generated upon contact of an armature with rotor. Connecting member 20 for connecting inner and outer rings 5a and 5b of the armature are integrally formed with arms 19 extending radially inwardly from locations where the connection members 20 are connected to the inner ring 5a by rivets 12. The arms 17 are in face to face contact with an elastic member 18 made of rubber, which is held by the inner hub 7 by means of a retainer 19. Upon the movement of the armature 5 toward to rotor 4 by means of an electromagnetic force, just before the contact of the armature 5 with the rotor 4, a steep increase in a force for opposing the movement of the armature 5 with respect to the rotor 4 is obtained, thereby reducing an impact upon the contact, and reducing the noise.
194 Electromagnetic clutch with an adjusting means for adjusting a substantial length of a leaf spring which is for supporting an armature plate US425872 1989-10-24 US5080213A 1992-01-14 Yoshitaka Sunaga
In an electromagnetic clutch comprising a plurality of leaf springs for supporting an armature plate (18) to a shaft (14) so that the armature plate (18) faces a pulley (16) in an axial direction with a gap left therebetween, each of the leaf springs has a substantial length which is adjusted in response to a size of the gap. This results in changing of a spring constant of each of the leaf springs. When the armature plate is moved towards the pulley, the size of the gap becomes gradually small. Simultaneously, the armature plate is subjected to a suction force which acceleratingly increases in response to decreasing of the size of the gap. However, it is possible to reduce a noise which is generated when the armature plate is attracted to the pulley. This is because the armature plate comes into soft collision with the pulley.

A clutch is disclosed which includes an electromagnetic drive mechanism. A hub is frictionally secured on a drive shaft and has a flange portion radially extending from its outer peripheral surface. An annular armature plate is coupled to the flange and spaced from an axial end surface of the rotor. A plurality of threaded holes are formed in the flange portion of the hub to permit the use of a tool which detachs the hub from the drive shaft. An annular plate is disposed at an inner surface of the flange portion of the hub to cover the plurality of holes so that water from the outside of the electromagnetic clutch is prevented from entering through the holes. Thus, corrosion of internal parts is prevented and clutch life and performance are enhanced.
