  • Transmission system for a work vehicle
    Patent number: 11607950
    Abstract: A powershift transmission for a work vehicle includes a speed section. Within the speed section, a speed C clutch is engageable to transfer rotational power from a speed input shaft to a speed countershaft via first and second speed gears, a speed A clutch is engageable to transfer rotational power from the speed input shaft to the speed countershaft via third and fourth speed gears, and a speed B clutch is engageable to transfer rotational power from the speed input shaft to the speed countershaft via fifth and sixth speed gears. A first gear ratio between the first and second speed gears is greater than a second gear ratio between the third and fourth speed gears and a third gear ratio between the fifth and sixth speed gears.
    Type: Grant

  • Clutch control for shared power dissipation
    Patent number: 10816046
    Abstract: A method of controlling an input clutch and an output clutch, wherein the input clutch couples to a power source, the output clutch couples to a load, and the input clutch couples to the output clutch via gears, includes controlling torque of the input clutch based on a torque of the output clutch or a lookup table that controls the torque of the output clutch. The method also includes adjusting the torque of the input clutch based on a slip speed of the input clutch and a slip speed of the output clutch.
