Study of the influence of the friction clutch operability on the performance of the switch motor

Abstract

In this paper, the results of studying the efficiency of an SP-6 M switch motor have been presented. The friction clutch plays an important role during the transmission of torque from a motor to an actuator. To study a motor switch, a test rig was developed in order to determine the necessary force to move switchblades depending on the pressing force of the friction clutch. The tribological properties of the friction disk materials have been investigated using a specially designed test machine.
