Whether the oil film between friction pair are uniformly distributed is the key factor that affecting the perfor-mance of HVD clutch. However, it is hard to make sure that the uniformity of oil film between friction pair are the same, which can lead to uneven wear problem for the frictional plates of HVD clutch. In order to study the uniformity of oil film of HVD clutch, the distribution regularity of oil films between friction pair of HVD clutch is researched by establishing the mathematics model. and a new HVD clutch with double-piston structure is pro-posed, which can greatly improve the uniformity of oil film of HVD clutch.
