Abstract

[Problem] To provide a clutch device that is incorporated between a drive source and a driven body and is capable of preventing transmission of impact torque from the driven body to the drive source. [Solution] A clutch device 1 comprises a first rotating member 2, a second rotating member 3, a third rotating member 4, an engaging element 5, and a flywheel 6 fixed to the first rotating member 2. When torque is input to the second rotating member 3, a steady rotation state is brought about in which the first rotating member 2 and the flywheel 6 rotate integrally with the second rotating member 3, the third rotating member 4, and the engaging element 5, while the torque is transmitted between the second rotating member 3 and the third rotating member 4. When the torque acting on the third rotating member 4 rapidly increases in the steady rotation state, a torque transmission regulation state is brought about in which the torque transmitted between the second rotating member 3 and the third rotating member 4 is reduced or lost, on the basis of inertia force acting on the flywheel 6.

Abstract

In this insulating bearing, a mill scale surface is formed on at least a part of a contact surface of a bearing ring on which a resin layer is formed, the contact surface being in contact with the resin layer. Alternatively, instead of the mill scale surface, the surface roughness in the circumferential direction is roughened to Ra 3.2 μm or more or Sa 3.2 μm or more. As a result, the relative sliding between an outer ring and inner ring and an insulating film in the insulating bearing coated with the insulating film and the damage between the two surfaces due to the relative sliding can be prevented, and the deterioration of bearing accuracy and the occurrence of electrolytic corrosion can be suppressed for a longer period of time.

Abstract

A ball bearing on one rotary shaft, out of a first rotary shaft and a second rotary shaft, on which a rotation member corresponding to a larger value of a ratio out of values of ratios of a rotation speed of a first rotation member and a rotation speed of a second rotation member relative to a rotation speed of a third rotation member is arranged does not include an inner race. Thereby, a ball PCD can be reduced while securing durability of a ball bearing on the one rotary shaft, and dragging loss between balls of the ball bearing and the inner race can be reduced. Since the ball bearing integrally configured with the rotary shaft is arranged on the one rotary shaft, reducing dragging loss of the ball bearing relatively largely reduces motive power loss on the third rotary shaft due to dragging loss of the ball bearing.
