Centrifugal governor mechanism in automatic transmission - has levers with curved surfaces contacting flyweights to give control function

摘要

A centrifugal governor is used. Its body accommodates an input element adapted for rotation and a coaxially arranged output element adapted for axial motion during rotation of the input element under the effect of the weights arranged between them. There also are levers arranged between the input and output elements so that the turning axle of each lever is secured on the input element, one arm of the lever is in constant contact with the output element and the other one contacts the corresponding weight in the course of rotation of the input element, this layout increasing considerably the axial force on the output element.
