A fan clutch assembly includes several features. A first feature relates to a lubrication passage that runs through the clutch package and has a return collection passage that extends through the operating piston. As a result, pitot tubes employed behind the piston may not be necessitated. Additionally, an anti-tamper device may be installed on the lead screw body to prevent adjustment of the fan hub and unintentional adjustment of the load carried on various bearings contained within the fan clutch assembly. Additionally, to position the speed sensor appropriately, a transfer shaft is provided that extends from the fan hub and/or lead screw back to the backside where a sensor is provided. This transfer shaft can be adjusted to precisely locate the sensor target relative to the sensor.

The present invention provides a motor including: a housing; a control part coupled to the housing; a stator assembly coupled to an inside of the housing and connected to the control part; a rotor disposed inside the stator; a rotary shaft coupled to the rotor; and a sensor connecting part including a body mounted on the housing and having a sensor mounting part, and a terminal included in the body and connected to the sensor mounting part and the control part, wherein the sensor mounting part is disposed outside the housing, and thus provides advantageous effects in that a configuration and an operation of connecting sensors to a control module are simplified, efficiency of an assembly operation is increased, and reliability of sensing information is improved.

This clutch control device includes an engine (13), a transmission (21), a clutch device (26) configured to connect and disconnect motive power transmission between the engine (13) and the transmission (21), a clutch actuator (50) configured to drive the clutch device (26) and change a clutch capacity, a control parameter sensor (58) configured to detect a control parameter of the clutch capacity and a control unit (60) configured to calculate a control target value (TP) of the control parameter. The control unit (60) causes the clutch device (26) to perform a stroke in a connection direction until an actual measurement value of the control parameter reaches the control target value (TP). The control unit (60) corrects the control target value (TP) in accordance with at least one of a rotational speed (NE) of the engine (13) and a difference between the target value and the actual measurement value of the control parameter in a stroke process (K3) of causing the clutch device (26) to perform the stroke in the connection direction.

An electric drive axle including an electric motor, a gear arrangement, a differential, and a disconnect device at least partially disposed within a differential case. The gear arrangement is configured to produce a certain gear ratio between the electric motor and the differential.

A dry double clutch for an electric axle includes a clutch unit and an actuation unit. The clutch unit has a first clutch device for connecting a drive shaft with a first output shaft, and a second clutch device, coaxial to the first clutch device, for connecting the drive shaft with a second output shaft. The actuation unit has a first actuation device for actuating the first clutch device, and a second actuation device for actuating the second clutch device. The first clutch device is closed when the first actuation device is not actuated, and the second clutch device is open when the second actuation device is not actuated. The first clutch device is arranged to be opened by a first pressure force from the first actuation device, and the second clutch device is arranged to be closed by a second pressure force from the second actuation device.

A clutch actuator (1) for actuating a vehicle clutch includes a cylinder (3) filled with pressure medium. An annular piston (4) is axially displaceably arranged in the cylinder. The annular piston (4) is fixedly operatively connected to a sliding sleeve (5) slidably mounted on a guide sleeve (6). A radially inner casing surface (16) of the annular piston (4) has an inner radius (Ri) and is arranged radially next to the guide sleeve (6). A sliding ring (18; 19) supports the sliding sleeve (5) on the guide sleeve (6). The sliding ring (18; 19; 18a) is inserted into a groove (27; 28) in the radially inner casing surface (16). In order to be able to mount undivided sliding rings, the groove (27; 28) has a single radially extending groove wall (29; 32) and is open toward an axially outer or inner end face (30; 33) of the annular piston (4).

In order to provide a master cylinder, in particular for a clutch system, an actuating system or a braking system of a vehicle, which enables secure sealing of the cylinder chamber relative to the outside, as well as a reliable flow of hydraulic medium into the cylinder chamber, it is proposed that the piston comprises a first section which has a cylindrical lateral surface and a second section which has at least one region which is set back radially inwardly with respect to the cylindrical lateral surface of the first section, wherein at least one set-back region extends to an end of the piston and wherein the first and second sections are arranged on the piston in such a way that in an actuating position of the piston, the main sealing element in the first section of the piston abuts in sealing manner thereagainst and in the pressure equalization position of the piston, in the second section of the piston between the piston and the main sealing element, at least one gap is formed, through which hydraulic medium can flow along the piston from the supply chamber into the cylinder chamber in order to equalize the pressure.

A hydrostatic actuator and an arrangement for attaching it to a receiving component are provided. The hydrostatic actuator has a master cylinder containing a housing and a piston movable axially within the housing which acts on a pressure chamber filled with a pressurizing agent. The piston is driven by a rotary-driven electric motor having a stator and a rotor, by a rolling planetary transmission that converts the rotary drive to an axial motion. In order to be able to produce such a hydrostatic actuator with little need for construction space, cost-effectively and with better quality, a supporting of the rolling planetary transmission is simplified, and the cooling and shielding of an electronic controller and the pressure behavior of the hydrostatic actuator is improved.
