  • Publication number: 20170146107
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an improved, integrated electronically controlled hydraulic-based torque distribution system and related method. The torque distribution system of the present disclosure includes an electric motor that drives a pump that generates hydraulic pressure used to selectively activate a clutch pack to transfer torque to the wheels of a motor vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20170130814
    Abstract: An electromechanical clutch for an electronic limited slip differential constructed in accordance to one example of the present disclosure includes a clutch pack, a first lever, a second lever and an actuator assembly. The clutch pack has first and second sets of clutch plates. The first lever arm is rotatably fixed at a pivot pin. The second lever arm is rotatably fixed at the pivot pin. The actuator assembly is configured to rotatably pivot at least one of the first and second lever arms relative to the other of the first and second lever arms whereby the first and second sets of clutch plates are selectively pressed together to thereby lock the electromechanical clutch.

  • Publication number: 20170130815
    Abstract: A torque vectoring system constructed in accordance to one example of the present disclosure includes a differential, a first drive axle, a second drive axle, a first gear train and a second gear train. The first drive axle is operably coupled to the differential. The second drive axle is operable coupled to the differential. The first gear train is selectively driven by the differential and is configured to selectively supply a speed application from the differential to one of the first and second drive axles. The second gear train is selectively driven by the differential and is configured to selectively supply a speed reduction from the differential to one of the first and second drive axles.
