  • Patent number: 11703124
    Abstract: An actuator system for a vehicle transmission includes an actuating unit and an electric motor drivingly connected to the actuating unit. The actuating unit is configured for displacement by the electric motor between an engagement mode where the transmission is connected to a propulsion unit and a disengagement mode where the transmission is disconnected from the propulsion unit. A clutch unit between the actuating unit and the electric motor is connected to a drive shaft of the electric motor. The clutch unit is configured for connecting the actuating unit to the electric motor when displacing the actuating unit between the engagement disengagement modes. The clutch unit disconnects the actuating unit from the electric motor in the engagement mode. The system further includes an oil pump unit driven by the electric motor at least in the engagement mode.

  • Patent number: 11608889
    Abstract: A speed change device for shifting the gear of a transmission. The transmission includes a first shifter shaft, a first shifter element associated to the first shifter shaft and arranged for movement in an axial direction of the first shifter shaft for actuating a first set of gears. It further comprises a second shifter shaft and a second shifter element associated to the second shifter shaft and arranged for movement in an axial direction of the second shifter shaft for actuating a second set of gears. One of said first and second shifter shafts is hollow and the other of said first and second shifter shafts is partly arranged coaxially inside the hollow shaft.

  • Publication number: 20220037956
    Abstract: A shaft arrangement for a vehicle. The shaft arrangement includes a shaft having a fluid channel extending along an axial direction of the shaft. The shaft includes at least one fluid inlet arranged at an axial distance from a first end of the shaft and extends radially between an outside surface of the shaft and the fluid channel. The shaft arrangement further has a sensor including a first sensor part and a second sensor part, wherein the first sensor part is attached to a first end part of the shaft at the first end of the shaft and the second sensor part is arranged to be attached to a first shaft housing part.

  • Publication number: 20210188429
    Abstract: A transmission includes a first component and a second component which are journaled for rotation relative to each other, and a locking mechanism for rotationally locking the first component and the second component relative to each other in a predetermined mutual rotation position. The transmission includes a magnetic field sensor arranged for measuring a relative rotation position of the first component and the second component while the first component and the second component are rotating relative to each other.
