Abstract

Wet multi-plate clutches have a running-in phase at the start of operation in which the friction behavior can change significantly by adjusting the friction surfaces. This running-in behavior can strongly depend on the characteristics of the friction system consisting of friction material, steel plate and fluid. With the aim of good controllability and thus high reliability of the clutch from the first shift, running-in processes should be less pronounced and should be completed quickly. The characterization of the running-in behavior in slip operation mode is carried out experimentally on clutches with carbon friction lining from the applications transfer case and limited slip differential in transient slip. A newly developed test method allows examining the running-in behavior for several application-typical load levels. Relevant load levels are derived from vehicle measurements. Furthermore, an evaluation method is presented that realizes a quantitative assessment of the characteristics and duration of the running-in processes by defining new parameters for slip operation mode. The running-in behavior of clutches with different friction systems is compared in the course of a system evaluation, Influences of lubricant, steel plate and friction lining as well as interactions are systematically characterized.
