  • Publication number: 20230358308
    Abstract: A transmission includes a shifting fork and has first and second states that are selectable with the shifting fork. The shifting fork deactivates and activates a first element of the transmission, where the first state is provided when the first transmission element is activated, and to deactivate and activate a second element of the transmission, where the second state of the transmission is provided when the second transmission element is activated. The shifting fork is displaceable in an axial direction between first and second predetermined positions, and when the shifting fork is placed in the first predetermined position, the first transmission element is activated providing the first state and the second transmission element is deactivated, and when the shifting fork is placed in the second predetermined position, the first transmission element is activated providing the first state and the second transmission element is activated providing the second state.

  • Patent number: 11719288
    Abstract: A torque transmission arrangement includes a cylindrical friction element carrier and a snap-ring, the friction element carrier carries a pressing plate and a reaction plate of an outer friction-based torque-transmission mechanism rotationally secured to an outer surface and a pressing plate and a reaction plate of an inner friction-based torque-transmission mechanism rotationally secured to an inner surface. The friction element carrier includes through-holes distributed around the circumference of the friction element carrier.

  • Publication number: 20220373045
    Abstract: An arrangement for a shifting brake device. The arrangement includes a housing, a reaction plate and a snap ring. The housing and the reaction plate are mechanically connected to each other and the snap ring is arranged in a groove of the housing for locking the reaction plate to the housing such that displacement of the reaction plate relative to the housing in an axial direction is prevented. The groove is arranged on an outside surface of the housing.

  • Patent number: 11353069
    Abstract: A transmission for a vehicle includes a first rotating member for rotation about an axis and a second rotating member for rotation about the axis. The first rotating member and the second rotating member are connectable to each other such that the first rotating member and the second rotating member are rotationally locked relative to each other for transferring torque between the first rotating member and the second rotating member. The transmission comprises a sensor arrangement for measuring a relative angular position of the first rotating member and the second rotating member while at least one of the first rotating member and the second rotating member is rotating.

  • Patent number: 11248664
    Abstract: A synchronizing ring for a synchronizer having an inner ring. The synchronizing ring is designed to be arranged outside of and to abut against the inner ring for achieving friction between an outer surface of the inner ring and an inner surface of the synchronizing ring during synchronization. The synchronizing ring has a plurality of through holes extending from the inner surface to an outer surface of the synchronizing ring for evacuation of oil from the interface between the inner ring and the synchronizing ring.

  • Publication number: 20210180654
    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 locking mechanism includes a sleeve and a dog clutch, the sleeve being rotationally locked relative to the first component and the dog clutch being rotationally locked relative to the second component, the sleeve and the dog clutch being axially displaceable relative to each other for engagement of the sleeve and the dog clutch such that the first component and the second component are rotationally locked relative to each other, the sleeve and the dog clutch being engageable only in a mutual rotation position corresponding to the predetermined mutual rotation position of the first component and the second component.

  • Publication number: 20200370634
    Abstract: A gear wheel for a transmission includes a first member having a body for receiving a shaft and gear teeth for engagement with a further gear wheel, and a second member having a ring-shaped portion and teeth for engagement with a rotating component. The first member and the second member are rotationally locked relative to each other by means of an engagement means for transferring torque between the first member and the second member. The ring-shaped portion has a protrusion protruding in an axial direction in parallel with a rotational axis of the gear wheel and the body has an undercut receiving the protrusion. At least one part of the engagement means is arranged on the protrusion and inside the undercut.

  • Publication number: 20160131201
    Abstract: An assembly includes a hub and a sleeve in which the hub resides. The hub includes a first set of teeth and the sleeve includes a second set of teeth that engages with the hub's first set of teeth. The sleeve includes at least one tooth that has a reduced height compared to the rest of the sleeve's teeth, and the hub has a set of landings with at least one landing that is shallower than the rest of the landings of the hub. The hub and sleeve are configured such that the at least one tooth of reduced height resides in the at least one shallower landing. The hub further includes a first face and a second face that has the same configuration as the first face. The combination of the same first face and second face and the reduced tooth height and shallower landing provides a hub and sleeve assembly that can be assembled in one of only six functional configurations.
