  • Patent number: 10125867
    Abstract: A device for actuating multiple shift elements of a transmission device is described. Each of the pistons for a change in operating state of the shift elements in the area of active surfaces can be subjected to a fluid pressure acting in a first or second actuating direction. The fluid pressure actively applied in the first actuating direction can be separately adjusted for each of the shift elements, while the fluid pressure actively applied in the second actuating direction is essentially the same for all shift elements. The pistons are arranged coaxially to each other, radially into each other, and in a manner axially displaceable in sections in one intermediate plate. The intermediate plate features areas for applying the fluid pressures acting in the first actuating direction. The area through which the fluid pressure acting in the second actuating direction can be guided to the pistons is limited.

  • Publication number: 20140138885
    Abstract: A pneumatic spring device with a housing (1) surrounding an air-filled annular chamber (2) and with a piston (3) sliding axially in the annular chamber (2), for the reduction or avoidance of flow noises, at least one cushion (K) made from metal wire netting being integrateable directly into the annular space (2) so as to be capable of throughflow.
