Abstract

The present invention provides a rotary shaft assembly applied to a novel clutch system that ensures a 100% torque transmission rate between an engine and a transmission in a vehicle system and can be commonly applied to conventional manual transmission vehicles and automatic vehicles. The rotary shaft assembly converts linear motion of one member to rotary motion of another member, using a combination of a protrusion and an inclined guide slot.

Abstract

The present invention provides a rotary shaft assembly which ensures a torque transmission rate of 100 % between an engine and a transmission in a vehicle system, can be commonly applied to existing manual and automatic transmission vehicles, and is applied to a new concept of a clutch system. The rotary shaft assembly converts a linear motion of one member into a rotary motion of another member through a combination of a protrusion and an inclined guide.
