  • Patent number: 5211610
    Abstract: Reduction-distribution unit for gearshift units, particularly for industrial machines, including a first hydrostatic motor and a second hydrostatic motor which are operatively associated for the transmission of the motion to the axles. The unit also comprises an epicyclic train which adds the power of the hydrostatic motors, the first motor being associated with the shaft of the sun gear and the second motor being associated with the shaft of the crown gear of the epicyclic train. A first brake and a second brake are respectively associated to the shaft of the sun gear and to the shaft of the crown gear.

  • Patent number: 4991465
    Abstract: An automatic control device for the gearshift of industrial vehicles, in particular of the type suitable for automatically controlling a two-speed gearshift with engagement under torque actuated by a hydraulic motor. In order to avoid undesirable rapid decelerations of the vehicle while shifting from the second to the first gear, an element for delaying the engagement of the related gear is inserted between the electronic control system, generating the activation pulses for the solenoids which actuate the engagement of the clutches related to the two gears, and at least the control solenoid of the first gear. The delay is preferably preset according to the characteristics of the vehicle and of the gearshift.
