Abstract: A filtration system for a motorized wheel off-highway vehicle transmission that is proximate a sun pinion bore within the transmission, the system includes a helix shaped element that traverses along a longitudinal axis of the sun pinion bore, a magnet proximate the helix shaped element, and a housing proximate the helix shaped element and magnet.

Abstract: In an off-highway vehicle having an electric propulsion system which includes a motorized wheel, a traction motor and a transmission for transmitting power from the traction motor to the motorized wheel, wherein the transmission comprises a reduction stage, a low speed sun pinion defining a sun pinion cavity and a thrust washer, wherein the thrust washer includes a first surface portion movably associated with the low speed sun pinion via a thrust washer retainer and wherein the thrust washer is movably associated with the reduction stage via a lubrication plug is provided, wherein the lubrication plug includes a first plug portion having a radially extending portion movably associated with a second surface portion of the thrust washer and a second plug portion having a second plug portion structure which defines a plug cavity having a plug cavity inlet and at least one plug cavity outlet disposed adjacent at least a portion of the thrust washer, wherein the plug cavity inlet is disposed to communicate the su

Abstract: A tie ring is provided wherein the tie ring includes a tie ring structure defining at least one strap cavity. The tie ring structure includes a tie ring top surface and a tie ring bottom surface, wherein the tie ring top surface defines at least one top surface opening and wherein the tie ring bottom surface defines at least one bottom surface opening, wherein the at least one top surface opening and the at least one bottom surface opening are communicated with the at least one strap cavity.

Abstract: A sun pinion cover for an electric motor driven, off-highway vehicle transmission is provided wherein the transmission defines a hub assembly cavity and a transmission opening and wherein the transmission includes a reduction gear set having a low-speed pinion and at least one low-speed planet, wherein the reduction gear set is disposed adjacent the transmission opening. The sun pinion cover includes a cover body which defines a first lubricant port, a second lubricant port and a lubricant conduction channel which communicates the first lubricant port with the second lubricant port, such that when the cover body is attached to the transmission, the first lubricant port is disposed adjacent the low-speed pinion and the low-speed planet and the second lubricant port is disposed adjacent the hub assembly cavity to allow for a lubricant flow between the low-speed pinion, the low-speed planet and the hub assembly cavity.
