Construction machine, clutch and method for shifting power flow

摘要

The machine has a drive chain between a combustion engine i.e. diesel engine, and a working roll. A clutch (14) is arranged between a drive shaft (21) and output shaft (22). Drive-sided clutch elements (34, 36) are in contact with output sided clutch elements (41, 43) and are permanently in contact with each other by a mechanical coupling. A brake device (19) operating between the shafts is arranged at the clutch and is in contact during coupling engagement to eliminate or reduce torsional vibrations due to play of the coupling between the drive sided elements.
