English

Subject field(s)
  • Braking Systems (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
CONT

A clutch brake is a circular metal disc with friction material attached to both sides. Two tangs on the clutch brake match machined slots in the transmission input shaft. The clutch brake is mounted on these slots, between the release bearing and the transmission. This mounting arrangement allows the clutch brake to move back and forth along the input shaft. The purpose of a clutch brake is to stop or slow the input shaft from rotating, allowing the gears to mesh without grinding/clashing. This eliminates damage to non-synchronized transmissions, and minimizes the effort required when shifting from neutral into first or reverse from a standstill.

  • Braking Systems (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
CONT

Hill-holder is a name for the mechanism invented by Studebaker that holds the brake until the clutch is at the friction point, making it easier to start up hills from a stop in manual transmission automobiles.

OBS

When a driver stops their vehicle on an incline where the nose of the car is sufficiently higher than the rear of the car, the system is engaged when the driver's foot is depressing the brake pedal, and then the clutch pedal is fully depressed. Once set, the driver must keep the clutch pedal fully depressed, however, they may remove their foot from the brake pedal. To disengage the system and move the car forward, the driver selects first gear, feathers(applies) the gas pedal, and slowly releases the clutch pedal, which, at a point in its travel, releases the braking system allowing the car to proceed.

Record 3 2017-10-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electromagnetism
CONT

Electromagnets may be divided into two classes : traction magnets, in which the pull is to be exerted over a distance and work is done by reducing the air gap; and lifting or holding magnets, in which the material is initially placed in contact with the magnet. For examples of the first type see Brake; Clutch; Relay; Solenoid, electric.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Électromagnétisme
CONT

[Dans] le cas des électro-aimants de manœuvre [...] l'armature constitue l'élément moteur d'une machine simple ou complexe (solénoïde, relais, embrayage ou frein électromagnétique). Ce type d'électro-aimant fournit de l'énergie mécanique pendant un temps appréciable par rapport à son temps total de fonctionnement et c'est dans ce sens qu'il peut être qualifié de moteur.

OBS

électroaimant : Cette graphie, puisée des Rectifications de l'orthographe recommandées par le Conseil supérieur de la langue française, est attestée dans le Petit Robert (2004).
