  • Publication number: 20130298708
    Abstract: A power transmission device for a vehicle includes a casing mounted on a vehicle, a rotational shaft supported in the casing and rotated by an engine, first and second speed changing shafts, supported in the casing and changing a speed of rotation of the rotational shaft, a first speed clutch mechanism and a second speed clutch mechanism provided between the rotational shaft and the first and second speed changing shafts, respectively, and an output shaft outputting rotation of one speed changing shaft selected by each of the clutch mechanisms. A first brake device applying a braking force to the first speed changing shaft and a second brake device applying the braking force to the second speed changing shaft are provided in the casing.

  • Patent number: 7637101
    Abstract: A hydraulic power transmission device in a work vehicle transmits motive power from two hydraulic motors disposed in parallel to each other. The hydraulic power transmission device includes: a case; a first motor shaft and a second motor shaft respectively disposed in a right-side area and in a left-side area inside the case, each linked to one of the two hydraulic motors; a counter shaft disposed in an area ranging between the first motor shaft and the second motor shaft in the case; an output shaft; a first transmission mechanism that transmits motive power from the first motor shaft to the output shaft via the counter shaft; a second transmission mechanism that transmits motive power from the second motor shaft to the output shaft; and a hydraulic clutch device disposed at the counter shaft, that transmits the motive power from the first motor shaft to the output shaft or cuts off transmission of the motive power.

  • Patent number: 5152164
    Abstract: A roll for a rolling mill capable of an on-line control of the width thereof. The roll includes a drive roll connected to a mill motor and a hollow driven roll driven by the drive roll while being axially slidable with respect to the drive roll. A screw shaft is screwed to the inside of the hollow driven roll in such a manner that an end-to-end contact of the driven roll with the drive roll is obtained. A clutch is provided for a selective locking of the screw shaft, which is unlocked during a normal rolling process, so that the screw shaft is rotated together with the drive roll and the driven roll by a rotation of the mill motor. When adjusting the roll width, the clutch is operated so that the screw shaft is locked, and as a result, a rotation of the mill motor causes a mutual axial movement of the drive roll and driven roll to thus adjust the roll width. A means is also provided for a centering of the roll at the pass line of the material, after the adjustment of the roll width.
