Abstract The paper is about a calculation method for slipping parameters of friction clutches (of the slipping work and time) in tractor gearboxes at various gear overlaps and at bench tests of full-sized prototypes. Keywords Gearbox

 Slippage  Clutch  Friction  Fixed shaft axles

Modern wheeled and track vehicles broadly use the gearboxes, where gearing is made both with and without interruption of power flow from the engine by means of friction clutches (FCs) with hydraulic constriction and different gear overlapping. However, until today, the gear shifting process executed inside the gearbox by means of FCs has not been completely studied. As an example, let us consider the gear shifting process in a tractor gearbox. The gear shifting under load can be made both with and without a short-term interruption of power flow from the engine. The continuous (non-break) gearing ensured by simultaneous operation of two gears within a short period of time tp (gear overlap time) has some peculiarities. The process of continuous gear shifting depends on the parameters of the FCs, which ensure shifting, the overlap duration, specifications of the tractor unit (or machine-tractor unit–MTU) and its operation conditions.

Let us consider the gear shifting process with overlap at shifting from lower to higher gear on the example of an elementary gearbox with two parallel shafts (Fig. 1). The basic parameters defining the gear shifting process are the work L and the time tb of FC slippage FK when shifting to higher gear. To define these parameters, let us make use of a theoretical diagram for acceleration of the tractor unit (Fig. 2), which assumes that the friction torque
