Patent number: 11054020Abstract: A transmission includes an input shaft coupled to a prime mover, a countershaft, main shaft, and an output shaft, with gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. The shift actuator is mounted on an exterior wall of a housing including the countershaft and the main shaft. A shift control circuit operates a shift actuator using a first opposing pulse command and a first actuating pulse command, and releases pressure with shift actuating and opposing volumes of the shift actuator upon determining a shift completion event.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2019Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies, LLCInventors: Paul Peterson, Graeme Andrew Jackson, Timothy Scott Smith, Paul Wilson, Christian Chimner, Andrzej Wota, Thomas Connolly, Joseph Paul Furner, Sipei Chen, Ian Daniel McKenzie, Christopher Deboer

Patent number: 10737696Abstract: A transmission includes an input shaft coupled to a prime mover, a countershaft, main shaft, and an output shaft, with gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. A shift actuator selectively couples the input shaft to the main shaft by rotatably coupling gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. The shift actuator is mounted on an exterior wall of a housing including the countershaft and the main shaft. An integrated actuator housing includes a single external power access for the shift actuator. A controller interprets controls the shift actuator with actuating and opposing pulses, and interprets a shaft displacement angle, determines if the transmission is in an imminent zero or zero torque region, and performs a transmission operation in response to the transmission in the imminent zero or zero torque region.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2017Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: EATON CUMMINS AUTOMATED TRANSMISSION TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Thomas Connolly, Joseph Paul Furner, Jeff Hawarden, Ian Daniel McKenzie, Christopher DeBoer, Graeme Andrew Jackson
