Methods and systems are provided for operating an electromagnetic coil assembly. As one example, a method comprises responsive to energization of an electromagnetic coil of an electromagnetic coil assembly, translating the electromagnetic coil along a central axis of the electromagnetic coil assembly toward a magnetic armature while maintaining the armature fixed along the central axis. The electromagnetic coil assembly may be utilized within various clutching, braking, or lever applications.

The present invention provides a control unit. When the control unit performs shifting from a state in which a first shift speed is established by supplying engagement pressures to both hydraulic oil chambers and engaging a predetermined engagement element to a second shift speed by switching engagement and disengagement states of engagement elements other than the predetermined engagement element (Step S1), the control unit reduces the supply of the engagement pressure to one of the two hydraulic oil chambers to a level lower than that in the state in which the first shift speed is established (Step S3).

A compact clutch including a driven shaft on which the following are mounted: a gear wheel; a driving bush; a driven bush; a coil spring; a first collar with cam surfaces; and a second collar with cam surfaces. The gear wheel and the bushes are arranged axially next to each other; the gear wheel and the driving bush are constrained together in the circumferential direction; the spring surrounds externally the bushes; the first collar surrounds externally the spring; and the second collar surrounds externally the first collar. The gear wheel and the bushes are constrained to the driven shaft in the axial direction by means of two stop rings; and the driven bush is constrained to the driven shaft in the circumferential direction by means of at least one tongue.

A working vehicle includes a vehicle body, a cabin on the vehicle body, a clutch pedal in the cabin, a clutch on the vehicle body, a clutch operator to engage and disengage the clutch, a linkage including first and second ends, the first end being connected to the clutch operator, and a linkage lock to interlock the clutch pedal with the second end of the linkage so that vibrations of the cabin are reduced or prevented from being transmitted to the clutch.

A power transmission device has a back torque transmission cam that brings driving clutch plates 6 and driven clutch plates 7 into press contact with each other. A second clutch member 4b is moved when a rotational force is input to a first clutch member 4a via the output shaft 3. The pressure member 5 is located at a non-actuation position. A torque transmission portion transmits a rotational force transmitted to the second clutch member 4b to the first clutch member 4a not via the back torque transmission cam.

A power transmission device has a back torque transmission cam that brings driving clutch plates 6 and driven clutch plates 7 into press contact with each other. This occurs by moving a second clutch member 4b when a rotational force is input to a first clutch member 4a, via the output shaft 3. A pressure member 5 is located at a non-actuation position. A back torque transmission cam can hold abutment between an interlocking member 9 and weight member 8 by moving the second clutch member 4b in a direction of being brought into proximity to the interlocking member 9.
