🔍 Key Concepts

• Study how air-operated clutch glands work in a reversing reduction gear like the one in the illustration. • Think about what happens to the friction blocks (shoes) when the rubber gland is inflated vs. deflated. • Consider whether both clutches can be pressurized at the same time, and what happens to the idle clutch while the other is engaged.

💭 Think About

• Look closely at the illustration and imagine the shaft turning ahead: what must happen to the ahead gland and its friction blocks to transmit torque to the gear drum? • For the clutch that is NOT engaged, ask yourself: does it still rotate with the assembly, and are its friction blocks touching or clear of the drum? • If both glands were inflated together, what would that do to the gearbox output and to the ahead/astern selection?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which statements correctly describe inflation/deflation of the rubber glands and the position of the friction blocks relative to the drum. • Check whether an idle clutch’s friction blocks should ride on the drum or be clear of it to avoid drag and heating. • Confirm that the control air system is arranged so only one clutch gland can be engaged at a time, to prevent conflicting ahead/astern thrust.

Question 1 of 20

Which of the operating functions listed applies to the clutch glands of the unit shown in the illustration? See illustration MO-0085.

The clutch glands are fitted with friction blocks.

When the ahead clutch gland is engaged, the astern clutch gland is not rotating.

Control air is supplied so that both clutch glands inflate simultaneously.

When the idle clutch gland is deflated, its friction blocks ride on the drum.
