Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An electromagnetic clutch device includes an armature, a rotor, an electromagnet, and a silencing member. The armature is supported by a driving member so that the armature is movable in the axial direction and rotate integrally with the driving member. The rotor is arranged coaxially with the armature, rotate with respect to the armature and rotate integrally with an output member. The electromagnet presses the armature and the rotor against each other based on an electromagnetic attraction force generated when current is supplied through the electromagnet to be coupled with each other in the torque transmittable manner. The silencing member is provided on an outer circumferential portion of the armature to attenuate noise generated by the vibration of the armature in a state where the silencing member is out of contact with any member other than the armature.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An electromagnetic clutch device comprising: an armature adapted to be supported by a driving member so that the armature is movable in an axial direction and rotates integrally with the driving member; a rotor adapted to be arranged coaxially with the armature, wherein the rotor rotates with respect to the armature and rotates integrally with an output member; an electromagnet, which presses the armature and the rotor against each other based on an electromagnetic attraction force generated when current is supplied through the electromagnet, thereby coupling the armature and the rotor to each other in a torque transmittable manner; and a silencing member provided on an outer circumferential portion of the armature, wherein the silencing member is formed to attenuate noise generated by vibration of the armature in a state where the silencing member is out of contact with any member other than the armature, the silencing member including flanges that sandwich the armature in the axial direction. 2. The electromagnetic clutch device according to claim 1 , wherein the silencing member is annular and fits the outer circumferential portion of the armature. 3. An electromagnetic clutch device comprising: an armature adapted to be supported by a driving member so that the armature is movable in an axial direction and rotates integrally with the driving member; a rotor adapted to be arranged coaxially with the armature, wherein the rotor rotates with respect to the armature and rotates integrally with an output member; an electromagnet, which presses the armature and the rotor against each other based on an electromagnetic attraction force generated when current is supplied through the electromagnet, thereby coupling the armature and the rotor to each other in a torque transmittable manner; a silencing member provided on an outer circumferential portion of the armature, wherein the silencing member is formed to attenuate noise generated by vibration of the armature in a state where the silencing member is out of contact with any member other than the armature; and an urging member located between the driving member and the armature, wherein the urging member urges the armature in the axial direction at a radially inner position with respect to the silencing member to bring the armature into contact with the rotor. 4. An actuator device comprising the electromagnetic clutch device according to claim 1 . 5. An opening and closing body controller for a vehicle comprising the actuator device according to claim 4 .
