  • Patent number: 11047464
    Abstract: A differential with an overrunning clutch (ORC) assembly is provided. The differential includes a first plain bearing end cap with an interior surface that forms a plain bearing interface with an outer surface of a first side hub. The first plain bearing end cap further has a first outer surface portion that engages a first end portion of a roller cage assembly. A second plain bearing end cap with an interior surface that forms a plain bearing interface with an outer surface of the second side hub is also included. The second plain bearing end cap further has a first outer surface portion that engages a second end portion of the roller cage assembly. The (ORC) assembly selectively engages the roller cage assembly during an ORC condition to selectively couple torque between a ring gear and the first and second side hubs.

  • Publication number: 20170152946
    Abstract: A sequential shift transmission is provided that includes a transmission portion, a range box portion, a transfer portion and at least one shift actuator. The transmission portion has sequential gearing. The range box portion is operationally coupled to the transmission portion and has range gearing that includes a low range gear and a high range gear. The transfer portion is operationally coupled to the range box portion to output torque from the sequential shift transmission. The at least one shift actuator is configured and arranged to selectively change the sequential gearing and the range gearing.
