Rotational control apparatus in the form of fan clutches (C) are disclosed including a first, friction disc portion (12) splined on a hub (20) and rotatably mounted on a shaft (24). The friction disc portion (12) is reciprocal between a first position rotatably related to the facing (52) of a sheave (50) rotatably mounted on the hub (20) and a second position rotatably independent of the sheave (50). A second friction disc portion (212) is splined on the hub (20) and is reciprocal between a first position rotatably related to the facing (252) of a second sheave (250) rotatably mounted on the hub (20) and rotating at a different rotational speed than sheave (50). By selective engagement of the friction disc portions (12, 212), the hub (20) will be rotated on the shaft (24) at either the rotational speed of the first sheave (50) or the second sheave (250). In another form, a second, friction disc portion (112) is rotatably mounted on a reciprocal piston (100) and rotatable relative to the hub (20). Planetary gears (114) are rotated intermediate and in gearing relation between a sun gear (96) fixed on the shaft (24) and an annulus (124) fixed to the hub (20). The second, friction disc portion (112) is reciprocal between a first position rotatably related to a facing (152) secured to the sheave (50) opposite to the facing (52). By selective engagement of the friction disc portions (12, 112), the hub (20) will be rotated on the shaft (24) at either the rotational speed of the sheave (50) or at a rotational speed different than the sheave (50) and specifically at a rotational speed dependent on the ratio of the planetary drive. |
