7Ĭerametallic materials are not as sensitive to grease and oil contamination as organic asbestos based linings. 6īutton type friction pads permit the dust worn from the friction surfaces to be thrown clear of the clutch areas, thus preventing the possibility of any trapped work-hardened particles from scoring the friction faces.

5īutton type friction pads do not suffer from warpage as do full ring metallic or organic linings and therefore are less prone to distort and cause clutch drag. 4īutton type driven plates expose more than 50% of the flywheel and pressure plate surfaces to the atmosphere during clutch engagement, so that heat transfer to the surrounding by convection may be improved by as much as 100%. The capability of operating at high working temperatures of up to 440☌ for relatively long periods without showing signs of fade. 2Ī relatively high and stable coefficient of friction, providing an average value in the region of 0.4, which increases the torque capacity of clutches using these driven plates. Consequently it will result in quicker gear changes and, in the case of synchronized transmission, will increase synchronizer life. The inherent advantages of these cerametallic-lined driven plates are: 1Ī very low inertia (about 10% lower than the organic disc and 45% lower than a comparable sintered iron disc). Band wear slackness can be taken up by externally adjusting the anchor screw. This class of brake is capable of absorbing large torque reactions without occupying very much space, which makes the band brake particularly suitable for low gear high torque output gear sets. This method of applying and releasing the band enables a more prolonged and controllable energizing and de-energizing action to be achieved.

Band release is obtained due to the larger piston area side producing a greater force to free the band.

To release the band, similar line pressure is directed to the spring chamber side of the cylinder. Fluid line pressure is introduced to the small diameter end of the piston to energize the band brake. The application of the band is achieved through a double acting stepped servo cylinder and piston. 5.5) This form of brake consists of a friction band encompassing an external drum so that when the brake is applied the band contracts, thereby wrapping itself tightly around the drum until the drum holds. I guess this helps to stay a little more in control too.Band brake ( Fig. I usually just roll random names until I see something more appropriate for a given model. For example, a cheap tiny phaeton is a 'Berry', cheap, stripped to the bones sedan is a 'Bug', a subcompact is a 'Zip', while a roadster gets named 'Bordeaux' and a limo – 'Whale Shark'. This game can get overwhelming so it's important to keep everything in check.įinally I give myself another slight hint at what type a vehicle is with its name. Same goes for vehicles, try to stick to single vehicle type – single model, discontinue older versions after newer are released. Keep it simple, don't overload yourself with multiple versions of parts.

So if for a given part version I create an additional 'branch' to test some change I try to either adopt this change in the 'main' branch or reject it altogether so as not to run two types of the same part in parallel, which is guaranteed to lead to confusion. I also try to go easy on parts variations because multiple types of the same part can get really confusing. And at any given time there are only 3 x number of classes actual parts (not accounting for possible variations) which reduces clutter significantly. I like this convention because it can be used universally for all parts, since all parts come together to optimise final vehicle for the same set of metrics. Like all roadsters and coupes fall under Sport type in my system, since they all are optimised for performance. Target vehicle types are bundled together depending on what they need to be optimised for. So you get something like 'Chassis Sedan 3.1 FMR'. My parts naming scheme eventually came to this: Type of part - Target vehicle type - Version - Additional info
