Patent number: 11698114Abstract: A clutch having: a fixed hub, a movable hub, and a plurality of plates interposed to selectively transmit a torque. The clutch has a centrifugal pressure plate assembly having: a mass carrier; a plurality of radially movable mass elements, in which each mass element has a pivot connected to the mass carrier for displacement towards an external position under centrifugal effects; wherein the mass elements are further configured to exert axial thrust on a thrust surface of the centrifugal pressure plate assembly, to bring the movable hub closer to the fixed hub and increase the variable axial load. Each mass element has at least one respective rolling element in contact with the thrust surface. The thrust surface has a profile that is sloped and raised towards the external position.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2021Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: Endurance Adler S.p.A.Inventors: Alfio Ersilio Morone, Federico Maldini

Patent number: 11644072Abstract: Described is a brake disc, rotating about its own axis of rotation, including a brake strip, an element for supporting the brake strip and a plurality of first elements for connecting the brake strip with the supporting element which can be elastically deformed in such a way as to allow a relative movement of the brake strip with respect to the supporting element. The supporting element includes at least a first component and a second component connected to the brake strip by means of the first connecting elements. A plurality of second connecting elements of the first component and of the second component are elastically deformable in such a way as to allow a relative movement between the first component and the second component.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2021Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: ENDURANCE ADLER S.P.A.Inventor: Giuseppe Lisciani

Patent number: 11255385Abstract: A clutch (100) having: a fixed hub (201), a movable hub (202), a plurality of discs (204). The fixed hub (201) and the movable hub (202) axially slide, getting farther or closer so as to transmit a variable axial load onto the discs (204). The clutch (100) has a pressure plate assembly (208) including a centrifugal assembly (210), having: a rotatable mass holder (211) and a plurality of mass elements (212) radially disposed. Each mass element (212) has a pivot (301) and is configured for a displacement (1002) by pivoting under centrifugal effects. The mass elements (212) are configured for bringing the movable hub (202) closer to the fixed hub (201), so as to increase the variable axial load and allowing the clutch (100) (automatic) engagement. Each mass element (212) has a main body (302) and a column element (303) which connects the pivot (301) with the main body (302).Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2017Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Endurance Adler S.p.A.Inventor: Alfio Morone

Patent number: 11156254Abstract: The present invention relates to a clutch (100) comprising: a fixed hub (101, 1101) comprising a central coupling hole (301) configured for coupling with a rotating shaft (1200); a movable hub (102, 1102) configured for being mounted along an axial direction onto the fixed hub (101, 1101); a plurality of discs (103) interposed between the fixed hub (101, 1101) and the movable hub (102, 1102). The fixed hub (101, 101) and the movable hub (102, 1102) are shaped so as to rotate jointly with each other and so as to axially slide with each other, getting farther or closer to each other so that the fixed hub (101, 1101) and the movable hub (102, 1102) exert a variable axial load onto the plurality of discs (103), thereby transmitting a torque.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2018Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: Adler S.P.A.Inventors: Alfio Morone, Massimiliano Fumagalli

Publication number: 20200370605Abstract: The present invention relates to a clutch (100) comprising: a rotatable housing (101); a fixed hub (201) internal to the housing (101) and a movable hub (202) axially mounted onto the fixed hub (201); a plurality of discs (204) interposed between the fixed hub (201) and the movable hub (202). The fixed hub (201) and the movable hub (202) axially slide, getting farther or closer so as to transmit a variable axial load onto the discs (204), to selectively transmit a torque. The clutch (100) further comprises a pressure plate assembly (208) for controlling the variable axial load, including a centrifugal assembly (210) comprising: a rotatable mass holder (211) and a plurality of mass elements (212) radially disposed. Each mass element (212) comprises a pivot (301) and is configured for a displacement (1002) by pivoting under centrifugal effects.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2017Publication date: November 26, 2020Applicant: ENDURANCE ADLER S.P.A.Inventor: Alfio Morone

Patent number: 8607953Abstract: A clutch adapted to transmit the motion from a driving shaft to a driven shaft, having an axis of rotation coaxial to the driven shaft and comprising, a ring gear, a first bell integral in rotation with the ring gear and coaxial to the axis of rotation, an axially fixed hub internal to the first bell and coaxial to the axis of rotation, an axially movable pressure assembly including a disk-pusher element, a disk pack, a plurality of elastic elements, and a centrifugal assembly. The clutch comprises at least one first clearance-recovery device of a unidirectional type, adapted to limit the separation of the disk-pusher element from the axially fixed hub and from the disk pack, and a second clearance-recovery device of a unidirectional type, adapted to enable an axial movement of the centrifugal assembly only towards the disk-pusher element.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2010Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: Adler S.p.A.Inventors: Alfio Morone, Roberto Morone
