Spring Overriding Aircraft Clutch
Abstract
The purpose of this program was to investigate the performance of high-speed overriding spring clutch assemblies for use in a multiengine helicopter application. The design operating conditions were 3,570 inch-pounds torque transmitted at 26,500 rpm. Two clutch configurations were evaluated. An extensive test program was conducted as follows: Full-speed dynamic clutch override test; differential speed dynamic clutch override test; dynamic engagement test; static cyclic torque fatigue test; and static overload test.
