Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for controlling a power take-off assembly. The method includes providing a drive unit, a transmission having an output, a speed sensor, a controller including a memory unit and a processor, and the power take-off assembly including a clutch and a solenoid. The method also includes storing a first threshold in the memory unit, determining a current input speed of the drive unit with the speed sensor, and comparing the current input speed to the first threshold. The method further includes controlling an amount of hydraulic pressure supplied to the clutch and engaging the clutch.

Abstract: An engine output shaft and a transmission torque converter are connected for torque transmission therebetween. A flex plate is disposed between, and secured for rotation with either, the output shaft or the torque converter input shell. The flex plate includes an axially extending rim frictionally engaged with an annular wall secured either the output shaft or the torque converter input shell. A clamp member surrounds the rim on the flex plate radially outward of the annular wall and is selectively tightened to establish a force therein to cause the frictional engagement to be sufficient to transmit the torque.

Abstract: An actuating piston assembly (10) for torque transmitting systems (11). The torque transmitting system (11) is encased within a housing member (12), and a mounting annulus (40) is presented from the housing member (12). The mounting annulus (40) has a radially outer, cylindrical surface (41) and a radially inner, cylindrical surface (42), the two surfaces (41 and 42) being preferably concentric. A seal retainer (45) is carried on the mounting annulus (40), and the seal retainer (45) has a substantially planar web portion (46). Outer and inner rims (50 and 51) are presented from the web portion (46) and frictionally engage the corresponding outer and inner surfaces (41 and 42) on the mounting annulus (40) to secure the seal retainer (45) thereto. A plurality of circumferentially spaced outer blocking flanges (52) extend radially outwardly from the outer rim (50), and a plurality of circumferentially spaced inner blocking flanges (53) extend radially inwardly from the inner rim (51).
