Synchronizing ring of a synchronizing device
View Patent ↗A synchronizing ring for a synchronizing device of a motor vehicle gearing with a ring body. The ring body has a plurality of recesses, and frictional elements are arranged in the recesses.
1. A synchronizing ring for a synchronizing device of a motor vehicle transmission, comprising:
a conical annular body having a plurality of recesses defined therein and having an inner surface area and an outer surface area; and
friction elements are displaceably arranged in the recesses, the friction elements each having an inner face and an outer face, the inner faces being oriented in a same direction as the inner surface area and the outer faces being oriented in a same direction as the outer surface area of the annular body,
wherein the annular body forms a cage, which guides the friction elements in the recesses so that the orientation of the inner faces and the outer faces of the friction elements are maintained.
2. The synchronizing ring as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the annular body is produced from sheet metal or plastics in a chipless forming process.
3. The synchronizing ring as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the recesses are produced by punching.
4. The synchronizing ring as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the friction elements are provided with a lining.
5. The synchronizing ring as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the inner faces and the outer faces of the friction elements are convex.
6. The synchronizing ring as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the friction elements are produced as first friction elements and second friction elements of different materials.
7. The synchronizing ring as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the friction elements have surfaces with oil channels.
8. The synchronizing ring as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the friction elements are spaced apart from one another, so that grooves are formed from axial ends of the synchronizing ring.
9. The synchronizing ring as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the friction elements have a cross-sectional shape that is generally quadrilateral with four curved side segments, so that the grooves run obliquely with respect to an axial direction.
10. The synchronizing ring as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the friction elements have an irregular quadrangular shape, so that the grooves run obliquely with respect to the axial direction and widen toward one axial end.
11. The synchronizing ring as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the irregular quadrangular shape is a truncated trapezium.
12. A syncromesh having at least one synchronizing ring as claimed in claim 1 , and an opposing cone having an opposing friction face, wherein the opposing friction face is not machine finished.
