A connecting arrangement includes first and second idler gears (6, 7) arranged coaxially and connectable via an engagement unit. The engagement unit includes a coupling element coupled to the first idler gear (7) in a direction of rotation and axially movable between a home position and a coupling position. In the coupling position, the coupling element is coupled to the second idler gear (6) in addition to being coupled to the first idler gear (7) in the direction of rotation. In the home position, the coupling element and the second idler gear (6) are freely turnable with respect to each other. The first and second idler gears (6, 7) are helical-cut spur gears. The coupling element is guided in a helically extending guide (18) on the first idler gear (7) and, in the coupling position, engages into a helically extending engagement geometry (21) on the second idler gear (6).

A control method of a transmission of an electric vehicle provided with a transmission having a sleeve gear having an inclined chamfer on a first side of the sleeve gear and a flat chamfer on a second side of the sleeve gear, may include measuring a maximum movable stroke of a sleeve having the sleeve gear by moving the sleeve axially to both sides by a controller; determining a reference range to which the measured maximum stroke pertains from predetermined reference ranges by the controller; and determining and setting a neutral position of the sleeve using a predetermined determination method, depending on the determined reference range by the controller.

An assembly includes first and second coupling members, an actuator, and a biasing member. The first and second coupling members, such as a pocket plate and a notch plate, are supported for rotation relative to one another. The first coupling member has a pocket and a locking member received in the pocket. The locking member is movable between an engaged position and a disengaged position with respect to the coupling members. The actuator exerts an actuation force on the locking member to move the locking member. The biasing member exerts a biasing force on the locking member in opposition to the actuation force.

A synchronizer for mechanical transmissions having a phasing system configured so as to include a plurality of first cavities on an internal cylindrical surface of a rim of a hub, the hub torsionally connected with a transmission shaft, forming the external teeth of the hub and, for each of the first cavities, either a tooth which radially protrudes from an external cylindrical surface of a synchronizing ring of the synchronizer and is arranged to engage in the first cavity, or a connecting pin arranged to engage on one side the first cavity and on the other a respective second cavity on the external cylindrical surface, wherein the first cavities have an arc- or round-shaped cross-section.

A drive system for a motor vehicle includes a separating clutch, a shiftable transmission, a drive machine, and a transmission gear wheel and a clutch device. In a first operating state either the clutch device or the transmission gear wheel is kinematically coupled to the transmission input shaft and in a second operating state both said clutch device and said transmission gear wheel are kinematically coupled in said manner thereto.

A dog clutch of a vehicle power transmission device includes a sleeve, the dog clutch connecting/disconnecting a first rotating shaft to/from a first gear by moving the sleeve between a neutral position at which inner circumferential teeth formed on an inner circumferential side of the sleeve are not meshed with outer circumferential teeth on a side surface side of the first gear and an engagement position at which the inner circumferential teeth are meshed with the outer circumferential teeth, the inner circumferential teeth and the outer circumferential teeth having inclined surfaces tooth thicknesses of which become larger as the inner circumferential teeth and the outer circumferential teeth approach each other, and when the sleeve is moved to an engagement position by a shift fork, the sleeve being held in contact with a side surface of the first gear.

A transmission includes a first component and a second component which are journaled for rotation relative to each other, and a locking mechanism for rotationally locking the first component and the second component relative to each other in a predetermined mutual rotation position. The locking mechanism includes a sleeve and a dog clutch, the sleeve being rotationally locked relative to the first component and the dog clutch being rotationally locked relative to the second component, the sleeve and the dog clutch being axially displaceable relative to each other for engagement of the sleeve and the dog clutch such that the first component and the second component are rotationally locked relative to each other, the sleeve and the dog clutch being engageable only in a mutual rotation position corresponding to the predetermined mutual rotation position of the first component and the second component.
