<p>A synchronised clutch (10) comprising first and second clutch plates (12, 14) which are rotatable about a common clutch axis and include interengageable male and female formations (26, 52), an actuator (22) for moving the clutch plates (12, 14) from a first position in which their interengageable formations (26, 52) are separated from each other to a second position in which the formations (26, 52) and so the clutch plates (12, 14) are engaged for rotation with each other and a synchronisation arrangement (14, 16, 20, 28) which is adapted on operation of the actuator (22) sense the relative positions of the male and female formations (26, 52) on the clutch plates (12, 14), and if necessary, partially to rotate one of the clutch plates (14) relatively to the other (12) to bring the formations (26, 52) into register for perfect engagement prior to the actuator (22) moving the clutch plates (12, 14) from their first to second position of operation.</p> |
