DUPLEX ACTUATOR FOR MECHATRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM OF DRY FRICTION CLUTCH

Abstract

Designed duplex actuator of friction clutch provides independent operation of two control circuits by using twin-lever declutching unit of original design. The invention allows to enhance mechatronic system reliability by preserving function on clutch control in case of electronics failure, energy carrier absence or its leakage from feeding/controlling mains. The paper provides an oscillogram that contains recording of road-train start-up process from standstill when a power plant operates in automatic mode. Such oscillogram proves operational capability of the designed automatic actuator with friction clutch.
