The present study is concerned with the wear and engagement behavior ofwet clutches inthe latter type ofapplication. A test rig isdeveloped inwhich the wet clutch engagement ismonitored during an arbitrary number of testcycles. This rig has many similarities with the SAE #2 test rig in that they are both inertia type test rigs. However,thetestrigpresentedherehasseveraloriginalpartsfromheavydutyequipmentinproduction incorporated intoit.Thedatacollectionincludesacontinuous measurement ofthepositionofthepiston usedtoapplyforceontheclutchpackinadditiontotheseparatordisctemperatures, hydraulicactuating pressureandtorquetransfercharacteristics.
