  • Patent number: 9038492
    Abstract: A hydraulic arrangement by which a plurality of shift rails of a transmission are actuated, including one double acting cylinder per shift rail by which the respective shift rail can be moved back and forth. A first hydraulic valve is connected upstream of the plurality of shift rails and has a first output and a second output, by which a first shift pressure and a second shift pressure for actuating the shift rails can be provided. A second hydraulic valve is connected between the first hydraulic valve and two of the shift rails, and by which it is selectively possible for the first output of the first hydraulic valve to be associated with one of the double acting cylinders of the two shift rails, and the second output of the first hydraulic valve to be associated with the other double acting cylinder of the two shift rails.

  • Patent number: 8133141
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic system for actuating a continuously variable belt-driven conical-pulley transmission having two conical pulleys encircled by an endless torque-transmitting means, each of which comprises two conical disks, one of which is axially movable depending on the pressure in an associated pressing chamber, and having a torque sensor which includes a torque sensing chamber that is connected to a hydraulic energy source and is linked with the pressing chambers. The invention is distinguished by the fact that the pressing chambers are connected via a first hydraulic resistance element to the torque sensing chamber, and via a second hydraulic resistance element to an additional pressure chamber, in which a lower pressure prevails than in the pressing chambers and/or the torque sensing chamber.

  • Patent number: 8052555
    Abstract: A conical pulley assembly with integrated torque sensor. A torque-dependent force is transmitted through a transmitting component to a sensing piston whose position determines the pressure in a sensing chamber. The transmitting member is connected to the movable disk, and is formed in such a way that it transmits the torque-dependent force to the sensing piston in a manner that is dependent on the position of an axially movable disk of the conical pulley.

  • Patent number: 7927020
    Abstract: A decoupling device for the bearing arrangement of a shaft carried in a housing, in particular a shaft of a belt-driven conical-pulley transmission with a chain that functions as the belt. The decoupling device includes an outer bearing ring configured with a circularly cylindrical outer surface and within which the shaft is mounted, and an inner surface of a housing that encloses the bearing ring outer surface. At least one radial ondular washer is arranged between the bearing ring outer surface and the housing inner surface, which allows a limited relative radial movement between the housing inner surface and the bearing ring outer surface by elastic deformation of the washer.

  • Patent number: 7354364
    Abstract: A device for detecting the speed of an endless torque-transmitting member that passes around a pair of spaced conical pulley pairs of a continuously variable transmission. The device includes a sensor that is positioned adjacent the endless torque-transmitting member and that detects the speed of the endless torque-transmitting member at a point that is located relative to the movement course of the endless torque-transmitting member that is independent of the rotational speed relationship of the pulley pairs.

  • Publication number: 20070197319
    Abstract: A conical disk array for a belt-driven transmission having sets of conical friction disks on the input and output sides that are operatively coupled to each other by an endless torque-transmitting means to transmit torque. At least one friction disk of the conical friction disk sets has a friction surface structure with ground grooves that are not coaxial with each other. A grinding device for grinding the friction surface has its axis of rotation skewed relative to the axis of rotation of the friction disk being ground. A method is for producing a friction surface structure on a friction disk of a conical disk array with a grinding device with which the rotating friction disk serves to form a non-coaxially-oriented friction surface pattern as the friction surface.

  • Publication number: 20050232525
    Abstract: Disclosed is a decoupling device for mounting a shaft, particularly the shaft of a spherical-disk-shaped enveloping gear operating with a chain as an enveloping means, on a base. The inventive decoupling device comprises an outer bearing ring which has a circular cylindrical outer surface and inside which the shaft is mounted, and an inner surface which is rigidly connected to the base and surrounds the outer surface. At least one radial ondular washer is disposed between the outer surface and the inner surface. Said radial ondular washer allows the inner surface and the outer surface to be radially moved relative to each other to a limited degree while being elastically deformed.
