  • Patent number: 9109665
    Abstract: A power shift transmission has an input shaft, a first output shaft coaxial to the input shaft, a planetary transmission with a planet carrier, which is connected to the input shaft, and at least three shift elements. To minimize drag from open shift elements and to optimize shift times of a connectable synchromesh transmission, the planetary transmission has at least two stepped planetary sets, which may be mounted on a common planet carrier. Each stepped planetary set meshes on input and output sides with at least one sun gear. The first output shaft is connected to an output side sun associated with one stepped planetary set by a first shift element, the first output shaft is connected to an output side sun associated with another stepped planetary set by a second shift element, and input side sun gears are blocked relative to the transmission housing by a third shift element.

  • Publication number: 20100107812
    Abstract: The invention relates to a transmission (10) for transmitting a torque generated by a drive engine (74) to at least one drive axle (76, 78) of a vehicle (72). The vehicle (72) is in particular an agricultural or industrial utility vehicle. The transmission (10) comprises at least one main transmission unit (12) which can function independently. The main transmission unit (12) has a gear transmission and/or an auxiliary-range transmission. It is possible for an option transmission module (14) to be adapted onto the main transmission unit (12). It is possible by means of the option transmission module (14) to expand the functionality of the transmission (10). It is intended to specify and further develop a transmission (10) with which it is possible to provide, in particular from an economical aspect, a diverse range of transmissions for vehicles (72) of a series, and in which the installation space between the drive engine (74) and the main transmission unit (12) can be better utilized.

  • Patent number: 6533694
    Abstract: In a hydro-mechanical transmission having a hydrostatic unit and a mechanical gear train, the hydrostatic unit is resiliently mounted in the transmission housing to reduce the transmission of noise and vibration to the housing. Movement of the hydrostatic unit is facilitated by mounting the planetary carrier on a ball bearing instead of taper roller bearings. The ball bearing allows the carrier limited movement transverse to the axis of rotation of the carrier. To further reduce wear of the gear faces, one or more of the meshing gears at the point of relative movement have crowned gear faces rather than straight gear faces. This avoids a single line of contact of the meshing teeth at the tooth edge.

  • Patent number: 6440026
    Abstract: A hydro-mechanical transmission having a planetary system with three planetary gear sets including a reversing planetary gear set together with two clutches and a reverse brake to provide an infinitely adjustable speed change over the speed range from −20 kph to 60 kph without an additional direction change gear set. The transmission has two forward speed ranges and one reverse speed range. The planetary system has fixed mechanical and hydrostatic power input elements and a fixed output element. The low and high range clutches and the reverse brake direct power flow through the transmission along different paths to produce the different gear ratios. Transmission efficiency is maximized at the field use speed and the transport road speed where an agricultural tractor is most often operated.
