Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate working of a clutch cylinder member, and to enable a high dimensional accuracy to be obtained by individually fixing clutch cylinder members, each of which has been made up of a separate member whose thickness is reduced toward both ends, to a housing member. CONSTITUTION:In an erasing chamber 31, 33 in which silicon oil is hermetically filled, a plurality of cylindrical clutch cylinders 37, 39 which have been alternately arranged in the radial direction are provided. The cross-sectional shape of a clutch cylinder member 41 is of a straight taper shape in which thickness decreased from the straight part 43 toward both ends. Each of the clutch cylinders 37 on the output member 11, 13 sides is made by equally cutting the clutch cylinder member 41 at the straight part 43. And, in the clutch cylinder 39, the left side blade 51 out of the comb-toothed blades 51, 53 formed by slitting in parallel both ends of the clutch cylinder member 41 is inserted into a through hole 55 provided in a flange member 5, and is fixed thereto. Since the clutch cylinder member 41 is singly worked, working can be facilitated and a high dimensional accuracy can be obtained.

Avoid rotating. At this time, the 9g breaking resistance of the silicone oil increases due to the slits 47 and 49 provided in the clutch cylinder 39, and a correspondingly large torque is transmitted. Also, if a large rotational difference occurs between the housing 1 and each output part U11.13, this rotational difference will be limited and a large 1 to 1 torque will be transmitted; if the rotational difference is small, this rotational difference will be allowed and transmitted. Torque becomes smaller.

7. When the overlapping margin L+ of 39, 12, that is, the opposing area is increased, the shear resistance of the silicone oil increases, the differential limiting ability increases, the transmitted torque increases, and it moves in the opposite direction, reducing the opposing area. As a result, the differential limiting ability decreases and the transmitted torque becomes smaller. At the same time, clutch cylinder 37.3
Due to the taper shape of No. 9, the mutual gap changes with the above operation, and the torque characteristics can be greatly changed with a slight operation. In this way, the torque transmission characteristics can be changed. Also, such adjustment is possible using viscous coupling 63.6.
