The clutch pack (20) has: an unengaged state in which the clutch hub (16) and the clutch basket (18) are unlocked, and an engaged state in which the clutch hub (16) and the clutch basket (18) are locked together, wherein the back part (42) is spaced apart from the gear wheel (80) in the unengaged state, and the back part (42) engages the gear wheel (80) in the engaged state.

Abstract: A wet clutch (10) for mounting on a shaft (12) having an internal shaft conduit (88) for a hydraulic fluid is provided. The wet clutch (10) comprises: a clutch hub (16) configured to be mounted on the shaft (12), a clutch basket (18) configured to be rotationally supported relative to shaft (12), and a clutch pack (20) operationally connecting the clutch hub (16) and the clutch basket (18). The wet clutch (10) further comprises: a front part (34) configured to be fixed relative to the shaft, an actuator (22) supported by the front part (34) and radially spaced apart from the shaft (12), wherein the actuator (22) is configured to operationally connected to the shaft conduit (88). The wet clutch (10) further comprises: one or more relief valves (102) connected to the actuator and configured to release the hydraulic fluid.

Abstract: A multiple-plate wet clutch for mounting on a shaft having an internal shaft conduit for a coolant has a clutch hub mounted on the shaft, a clutch basket rotationally supported relative to shaft, a clutch pack operationally connecting the clutch hub and the clutch basket, and a collar mounted on the shaft. The wet clutch further has a plurality of clutch conduits, each having a collar portion formed by the collar and a hub portion formed by the clutch hub. The collar portion has an inlet for receiving the coolant, and the hub portion has one or more outlets at the clutch pack for releasing the coolant. The wet clutch further has a plurality of valves, each connected to a clutch conduit to control the flow of coolant through the clutch conduit. An actuator, supported by the collar, is configured to simultaneously engage the clutch pack and operate the valves.

Abstract: A gearbox (10) is provided having: a gearbox case (12), a first shaft (14) for receiving torque, a second shaft (16) for transferring torque inside the gearbox case (12), and a third shaft (18) for delivering torque. The gearbox further has three or more first gear assemblies (20) located inside the gearbox case (12), wherein each first gear assembly (20) comprises a first gear wheel (22) centered on the first shaft (14), a second gear wheel (24) centered on the second shaft (16), and a wet clutch (26) configured for operationally connecting the first shaft (14) and the second shaft (16). The gearbox also has three or more second gear assemblies (30) located inside the gearbox case (12), wherein each second gear assembly (30) comprises a third gearwheel (32) centered on the second shaft (16), a fourth gear wheel (34) centered on the third shaft (18), and a wet clutch (36) configured for operationally connecting the second shaft (16) and the third shaft (18).

Abstract: A door hinge is attached by a base to a road vehicle. The door hinge carries a side door via a door mount, and it enables the door, when it is being opened, to be shifted upwards while at the same time shifting in an outward direction and rotating in a plane that is transverse to the outward direction. This decreases the risk of a lowermost parts of the side door hitting, e.g., a roadside curb near which the road vehicle is parked.

Abstract: An exhaust-cleaning device for internal combustion engines having varying exhaust amount, which is intended to constitute a part of an exhaust system co-operating with an engine includes a main converter and a pre-converter located upstream the main converter, seen in the direction that exhaust fumes are intended to pass the exhaust-cleaning device. The exhaust-cleaning device is distinguished by a bypass arranged in the area of the pre-converter. The bypass includes a first opening upstream the pre-converter, and a second opening downstream the pre-converter and upstream the main converter, so that at least a part of the exhaust fumes passes past the pre-converter without passing therethrough. An extension for an exhaust-cleaning device and a vehicle including such an exhaust-cleaning device are disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a combustion air supply arrangement, including an air intake duct of an internal combustion engine, and a compressor arranged in the air intake duct, and a first throttle located downstream the compressor and upstream the internal combustion engine and arranged to change the flow area of the air intake duct between the compressor and the internal combustion engine, the same furthermore including a second throttle, which is located upstream the compressor and which is arranged to change the flow area of the air intake duct upstream the compressor. Furthermore, the compressor is a centrifugal compressor, the rotational speed of which is directly dependent on the rotational speed of the internal combustion engine, and that the combustion air supply arrangement is arranged in such a way that the sucked-in air is compressed once between the second throttle and the internal combustion engine.
