475146000 | Fluid motor structure | 6 |
20090253544 | Hydraulic Clutch Control System - A transmission includes two blocking valves that control fluid pressure to a plurality of clutches. The blocking valves are characterized by a plurality of states that result in at least three transmission operating conditions. Each of the three operating conditions is characterized by fluid pressure being unavailable to a respective one of the plurality of clutches. | 10-08-2009 |
20100075794 | TRANSMISSION ACTUATION SYSTEM - A transmission system without dynamic seals, specifically, an actuator for a vehicle transmission including a first rotating clutch pack engageable with a planetary gearset a first non-rotating actuator piston for engaging the clutch pack and a first bearing for isolating a first rotation of the clutch pack from the piston. A transmission system is provided using an electromechanical system for shifting the clutches, allowing a smaller pump only for lubrication of the transmission and the torque converter flow. | 03-25-2010 |
20100099533 | PLANETARY POWER TAKE OFF DEVICE - A power take off device includes input and output shafts and an integral planetary gear set. The power take off device may be a single speed or a two speed device. The input shaft and the output shaft are mechanically connected through the planetary gear set. In one mode of operation of the power take off device, a substantial speed reduction and torque increase is provided between the input shaft and the output shaft. The power take off device may change to a second mode of operation without stopping to provide a direct one to one speed and torque ratio between the input shaft and the output shaft. A planetary gear set clutch unit includes a two direction actuator that provides fluid pressure actuation and release of the clutch unit with a single input signal. | 04-22-2010 |
20150300490 | AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - An automatic transmission is provided. The transmission includes clutches coaxially arranged in layers in a radial direction of the transmission. The transmission includes a piston provided to each clutch, the pistons being aligned in the radial direction on a same plane perpendicular to an axis of the transmission, without overlapping with each other in an axial view. The transmission includes a common rotational member having a wall, commonly used for the clutches, and disposed at a predetermined position of the transmission in an axial direction, wherein the wall is formed along the plane. The transmission includes operational hydraulic passages parallely arranged in the wall of the common rotational member in a circumferential direction of the transmission on the same plane perpendicular to the axis, each of the operational hydraulic passages communicating with one of operational hydraulic chambers of the respective clutches. | 10-22-2015 |
20150337958 | BRAKE DEVICE OF TRANSMISSION - A brake device of a transmission is provided. The brake device includes a friction plate set including fixed friction plates and rotatable friction plates alternately disposed with each other, an engaging piston, and a clearance adjusting piston. A clearance adjusting hydraulic chamber is formed on a side of the clearance adjusting piston opposite to the friction plate set, and a concave portion is formed in a surface of the clearance adjusting piston on a friction plate set side. A base part of the engaging piston on a side opposite to the friction plate set is slidably fitted into the concave portion of the clearance adjusting piston and an engaging hydraulic chamber is formed by the base part and the concave part. | 11-26-2015 |

20100022343 | Rear Wheel Drive Automatic Transmission with a Selectable One-Way Clutch - A vehicle includes a rear-wheel drive (RWD) automatic transmission having a stationary member, a two-mode selectable one-way clutch (SOWC), pressurized fluid, and a valve body assembly (VBA). The VBA has a piston, a return spring, and an actuator linkage in contact with the piston and a shift lever of the SOWC. Fluid moves the piston and linkage in one direction to lock the SOWC and enable a reverse mode having no spin losses, and the spring moves the piston and linkage in another direction to unlock the SOWC in a forward mode. A method reduces spin losses by admitting fluid into the VBA to move the piston in one direction to thereby rotate the shift lever of the SOWC to one angular position to lock a driving member of the transmission to the stationary member during reverse, engine braking first gear, and manual low speeds. | 01-28-2010 |
