Abstract
A clutch comprising a pump is disclosed. The pump is operatively connected to the clutch such that a clutch slip event will cause the pump to delivery fluid from a fluid source to a region surrounding the friction plates of the clutch. The operation of the pump manages heat that is generated by the dynamic friction of the slipping clutch plates. The pump and associated fluid delivery methods are removably securable to an upstream end of an input shaft of the clutch. This allows the pump and associated fluid delivery methods to be used as modular components, that are easy to remove and replace for maintenance purposes, it also allows easier access to the internals of the clutch for maintenance.
