The S.S.S. (Synchro-Self-Shifting) overrunning clutch with its pawl actuated helical sliding motion is well known, particularly in the gas turbine field. This paper reviews briefly the clutch operating principle, then outlines some of the service experience since 1958 in naval main propulsion drives in COSOS, COSAG, CODOG, CODAG and COGOG plant. Extra features are then described such as a lock-out control as is usually necessary for turbine applications to permit turbine testing, e.g., when in harbor; also a lock-in control as is essential when the clutch has to transmit power in both directions of rotation. Various clutch mounting respective advantages. The paper concludes with information regarding reliability during many years of service experience.
