Speed sensor slots on clutch plate carriers
Speed sensor slots are made in clutch plate carriers so that the rotational speed of the component can be measured for transmission control. Ernst Grob produces such slots in sheet metal parts by slotting and coining.
What are speed sensor slots on clutch plate carriers?
Speed sensor slots are made in clutch plate carriers and other sheet metal parts of a transmission. Via the slots, which are made at regular intervals, a sensor detects how fast the component is rotating.
Advantages
- Combined production: On the same machine on which, for example, oil holes are punched, the speed sensor slots can also be made in the component in the same operation.
Applications
