Patent number: 8133141Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2008Date of Patent: March 13, 2012Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.

Publication number: 20070197319Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2006Publication date: August 23, 2007Applicant: Luk Lamellen und Kupplungsbau Beteiligungs KGInventors: Martin Vornehm, Andreas Triller, Ronald Glas, Markus Baumann, Anton Simonov
