Abstract
A multi-disc brake/clutch is disclosed, and may include a disc pack and an actuator configured to apply a contact pressure to the disc pack and having an adjustment device configured to reduce an excess clearance formed in the disc pack due to wear. The adjustment device may include a ramp assembly formed between the disc pack and the actuator with at least one ramp surface rotationally fixed about a disc pack axis and an axially adjacent rotatable ramp surface. When the rotatable ramp surface is rotated, the ramp assembly may expand axially by an adjustment travel.
Claims11
A multi-disc brake/clutch comprising:
- a disc pack;
- and
- an actuator configured to apply a contact pressure to the disc pack and having an adjustment device configured to reduce an excess release clearance formed in the disc pack due to wear, the adjustment device including a ramp assembly formed between the disc pack and the actuator with at least one ramp surface rotationally fixed about a disc pack axis and an axially adjacent rotatable ramp surface,
- wherein the ramp assembly is configured such that when the rotatable ramp surface is rotationally actuated, the ramp assembly expands axially by an adjustment travel.
