MECANISMO DE INVERSAO DE MARCHA,ESPECIALMENTE PARA UM ACIONAMENTO EMZPARA VEICULOS AQUATICOS

摘要

An improvement in a clutch control of a reversing gear arrangement for a Z-drive for watercrafts. The reversing clutch coupling includes two beveled pinion gears which act onto a common driven bevel gear. The reversing coupling consists of two alternately engageable friction couplings, the friction members of which are compressed onto one another by rolling elements to reinforce the engagement force. The friction members are movable against a resilient force provided by flexible elements, such as cup springs which engage the opposite side of the clutch pack from the friction members.
