  • Hydraulic control system for multiple clutches in a motor vehicle
    Publication number: 20060058146
    Abstract: A torque transfer mechanism for controlling the magnitude of a clutch engagement force exerted on a clutch pack that is operably disposed between a first rotary member and a second rotary member includes a hydraulic clutch actuation system. The hydraulic clutch actuation system includes a primary fluid circuit coupled to a secondary fluid circuit by a pressure intensifier. The pressure intensifier provides magnified pressure to a piston for actuating the clutch pack.
    Type: Application

  • Low power hydraulic clutch actuation systems
    Publication number: 20050023102
    Abstract: A torque transfer mechanism for controlling the magnitude of a clutch engagement force exerted on a clutch pack that is operably disposed between a first rotary member and a second rotary member includes a hydraulic clutch actuation system. The hydraulic clutch actuation system includes an electric motor drivingly coupled to a pump. The pump supplies pressurized fluid to an accumulator. The pressurized fluid within the accumulator is selectively supplied to a piston to provide a clutch engagement force.
