LUBRICATION SYSTEM FOR AN OIL SHEAR CLUTCH/BRAKE DRIVE

摘要

A clutch/brake drive has a brake unit and a clutch unit (10). The brake unit and the clutch unit each includes a plurality of exterior friction plates (20) and a plurality of interleaved friction plates (22). The lubrication for the clutch/brake unit (10) includes a plurality of axial and radial passages (70, 68) formed into the friction plates of both the brake unit and the clutch unit. This ensures continuous and adequate supply of lubricant to the clutch and brake to reduce friction and remove generated heat.
