Drive System Terms Secondary (driven clutch) Its combination compression/torsion spring together with the mechanical advantage of its “cams” give it the ability to both “respond to” and also to “over-ride” the centrifugally controlled driver clutch and thereby achieve (shift to) a torque multiplication ratio that, at any given moment, is a balance between the engine’s power and the torque requirements of changing vehicle load and/or terrain. Drive System Terms Sheaves — The pulley faces. Two sheaves form a pulley. The moveable sheave is the pulley face that is moved in and out to create different pitch diameters for the drive belt. Both driver and driven clutch have moveable sheaves. The stationary sheave is the pulley face that remains in place as moveable sheave changes position to create various pitch diameters. fixed sheave moveable sheave engine side Drive System Terms Torque Converter consists of two “variable pitch pulleys” linked by a special type of belt and all working in a harmonious relationship. The “system’s” function can be likened to the automatic transmission in a car and is often called a “ torque converter system”. Drive System Terms Variable pitch pulley — a pulley whose halves are able to spread apart and/or close together to vary correspondingly the diameter at which a belt is carried in the pulley. fixed moveable Drive System Terms Ride-Out — plus or positive ride position. Ride position is the radial distance from the top of a belt in a sheave groove to the outside diameter of the sheave. correct ride position ride-out position The average snowmobiler puts 1500 miles per year on his sled. Carlisle annually logs over a million miles in product field testing. This includes sleds made by all the major OEM manufacturers. This extensive testing helps to ensure our confidence in the dimensional criteria, durability and high performance of our belts.
