20110162480 | TORQUE TRANSMISSION UNIT - A torque transmission unit which has a first centrifugal mass that can be non-rotatably associated with an internal combustion engine and a second centrifugal mass that is connected downstream of the first mass and can be associated with a transmission. The second centrifugal mass has a rotor of an electric machine for transmitting a torque that can be electrically generated to the second centrifugal mass and a centrifugal force pendulum for reducing torsional vibrations. | 07-07-2011 |
20130178325 | WRAP-AROUND BRAKING DEVICE FOR PLANETARY GEAR TRAINS AND PLANETARY GEAR TRAIN HAVING A WRAP-AROUND BRAKING DEVICE - A wrap-around braking device for a planetary gear train, having at least one wrap-around element, with first and second cam devices, and is designed to wrap around at least one ring gear of the planetary gear train for braking engagement. A shift fork, which can be moved in the axial direction of the shift fork and which has first and second actuating elements that act oppositely in the axial direction and which is mounted in a rotationally fixed manner in a housing that has at least first and second stops in the axial direction. For braking engagement on the ring gear, which rotates in a first rotational direction, the shift fork can be moved in a first axial direction such that the first actuating element interacts with the first cam device, while the second stop opposite the first actuating element in the axial direction interacts with the second cam device. | 07-11-2013 |
20130281258 | HYBRID MODULE FOR A DRIVE TRAIN OF A VEHICLE - A hybrid module for a drive train of a vehicle having an internal combustion engine and a transmission. The hybrid module operates between the internal combustion engine and the transmission and has an electric drive, a clutch, and a freewheel, and the clutch and the freewheel are provided parallel to each other in order to transmit torque from the internal combustion engine toward the transmission, the freewheel transmits torque coming from the internal combustion engine to the transmission and opens for torque directed in the opposite direction, and a portion of the torque produced by the internal combustion transmitted by the freewheel can be set by setting a torque that can be transmitted by the clutch so that the vehicle can be driven by the internal combustion engine or the electric drive or both at the same time. | 10-24-2013 |
20140034443 | TORQUE TRANSMISSION DEVICE - A torque transmission device for the drive train of a passenger car. The drive train includes two engines, wherein one of said engines is an electromechanical energy converter. The torque transmission device is inserted into a rotor recess, which is arranged in a rotor assembly of the electromechanical energy converter. | 02-06-2014 |
20140094341 | HYBRID MODULE FOR A DRIVETRAIN OF A VEHICLE - A hybrid module for a drivetrain of a motor vehicle having a combustion engine and a transmission, wherein the hybrid module operates between the combustion engine and the transmission and has an electric drive, a decoupling clutch and a freewheeling mechanism, and wherein the decoupling clutch and the freewheeling mechanism, parallel to each other, are each provided to transmit torque from the combustion engine in the direction of the transmission, the freewheeling mechanism transmits torque coming from the combustion engine in the direction of the transmission and disengages in the case of torque in the opposite direction. | 04-03-2014 |
20140128218 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A SEPARATING CLUTCH IN A HYBRID DRIVE TRAIN, AND DRIVE TRAIN - A hybrid drivetrain and method for controlling a friction clutch of a hybrid drivetrain of a motor vehicle having a combustion engine which is coupled by means of a freewheel to a transmission input shaft of a transmission to transmit the engine torque, and having an electric machine which starts the combustion engine and/or propels the motor vehicle, which friction clutch transmits to the combustion engine a summed torque formed of a starting torque for starting the combustion engine by means of the electric machine and a drag torque which acts on the combustion engine when the drivetrain is in drag mode. To be able to operate the friction clutch reliably and to avoid over-dimensioning of the friction clutch as a result of high summed torques, a torque present at the friction clutch is limited to a predefined transmission torque which can be transmitted via the friction clutch. | 05-08-2014 |
20150330460 | CLUTCH DEVICE - A clutch device comprising a counterplate, a pressure plate displaceable to a limited extent in an axial direction to frictionally clamp a clutch disc between the pressure plate and the counterplate, a lever element acting on the pressure plate to displace the pressure plate in an axial direction, a central flange at least partially disposed between the pressure plate and the lever element and having at least one opening for the pressure plate and/or the lever element to pass through, and a wear compensation device for automatically adapting to clutch wear, wherein to prevent any undesired wear compensation, the lever element is engageable with the central flange. | 11-19-2015 |
20150337907 | ACTUATING DEVICE FOR A CLUTCH, CLUTCH, ELECTRIC DRIVE MODULE AND METHOD FOR INSTALLING A CLUTCH - The present invention relates to an actuating device for a clutch having a stator device, a rotor device which is rotatable in relation to the stator device and a carriage device which is movable to a limited extent in an axial direction in relation to the rotor device and which supplies tensile and thrust forces, which is operatively connected to a push-pull device that is designed to exert tensile and thrust forces on a lever element of the clutch, where the push-pull device has at least one pull element and at least one push element, between which the lever element can be accommodated, and which are connectible to one another, as well as to a clutch having an actuating device, an electric drive module having a clutch, and a method for installing a clutch having an actuating device. | 11-26-2015 |
