ROTEC · Measurement applications

Clutch and damper analysis

Measure angle of twist, slip and dynamic excitation between the engine and transmission to assess clutch and damper behaviour.

Measurement task and objective

Investigate crankshaft torsion, clutch slip and the dynamic behaviour of clutches and dampers. The results support application-specific component assessment and design.

Time-domain analysis – example measurement arrangement or analysis view

Time-domain analysis

  • Static and dynamic deformation.
  • Angular acceleration associated with gear rattle.
  • Angle of twist.
  • Starting and stopping behaviour.
  • Flywheel wobble.

Measurement and evaluation

The source describes magnetic speed measurement at the starter ring gear and transmission input shaft. The combined signals support several types of analysis.

  • Angle of twist between the engine and gearbox sides.
  • Slip.
  • Order analysis.
  • Angular acceleration in the gearbox, including investigations of gear rattle.
Spectral analysis – example measurement arrangement or analysis view

Spectral analysis

  • Dynamic excitation.
  • The decoupling behaviour of the clutch or coupling.
  • Resonance behaviour of the complete system.
  • Effects of environmental conditions on natural frequencies.
  • Dynamic peak loads.

Sensors and measurement technology

ROTEC provides laser and magnetoresistive speed sensors. Selection depends on the available installation space, environmental conditions and required signal resolution.

Speed measurement cards provide high-resolution timing for evaluating the angle of twist between speed signals. Analogue channels can record additional signals with configuration-dependent resolution and sampling rates.

Combined time-domain and spectral analysis supports investigation of the relationship between torsional vibration and noise generation. The selected hardware configuration and achievable measurement performance require application-specific validation.

Questions and answers

Which measurements are useful for clutch analysis?

The source arrangement records speed at the starter ring gear and gearbox input shaft. The signals support analysis of relative angle of twist, slip, orders and angular acceleration.
