A landing gear system includes a wheel rotatably coupled to the axle about an axis. A motor is fixedly positioned relative to the axle with a clutch assembly operably coupled to an output shaft of the motor. The landing gear includes an actuator and a drive assembly. The actuator applies a braking force to the wheel. The drive assembly includes a pinion gear and a drive gear rotatably associated with the pinion gear. The drive gear is configured to transfer a rotational force to the wheel in order to provide autonomous taxiing capability. Both the brake assembly and the drive assembly are operably coupled to the clutch assembly so that the output shaft of the motor drives both the brake assembly and the drive assembly.

A shifting assembly for a transmission at least has a first component, a second component, and a third component, the components interacting according to the shift state in that a friction clutch is arranged between the first component and the second component, a positively-locking clutch is arranged between the second component and the third component, and a freewheel unit is arranged between the second component and the third component. A connection means is provided which connects a clutch part of the friction clutch to a clutch part of the positively-locking clutch.

A transmission unit for a motor vehicle transmission includes a drive gear (6) which is arranged rotatably on an intermediate shaft (5) and which can be fixed to the intermediate shaft (5) for the transmission of drive power via clutch means. On one side flank (9) of the drive gear, a first gear portion (10) is provided which can be connected to a corresponding shaft-side second gear portion (11) via an internally toothed sliding sleeve (12). On the opposite side flank (13) of the drive gear, a parking lock gear portion (14) is provided for engaging a pawl (15) to block the transmission unit when the vehicle is at a standstill.

A brake assembly including a first brake piston; a second brake piston; and a parking brake assembly. The parking brake assembly includes a power transfer mechanism and a motor providing power to the power transfer mechanism. During a parking brake apply, the power transfer mechanism provides the power to both the first brake piston and the second brake piston so that both the first brake piston and the second brake piston are moved until a resistance of the second brake piston becomes higher than a resistance of the first brake piston. The power transfer mechanism then transfers the power from the second brake piston to the first brake piston so that the second brake piston ceases to move and additional power is supplied to the first brake piston.

A self-contained clutch for diesel engines for off-highway implementation is provided. A stationary friction disc, pressure plate and endplate sandwich a pair of rotating separator discs. Attenuation of vibration damping of the rotator discs may be achieved by a centrifugal weight. A pulse-width-modulated DC motor or valve is employed in association with a hydraulic actuator to control pressure to the clutch piston. An RFID tag uniquely identifies the nature and parameters of the clutch itself and is associated with the clutch such that the controller can most efficiently operate the clutch. Heat is dissipated by an oil pump servicing the support bearings and/or by the integration of a centrifugal fan into the heat disc stack.

A clutch actuator assembly includes a drive member, a threaded rod including a first end operatively connected to the drive member, a second end, and an intermediate portion including a plurality of threads extending therebetween. A member is threadably engaged with the plurality of threads of the threaded rod, a clutch actuator member is arranged at the second end of the threaded rod, and a velocity brake is operatively coupled to the threaded rod. The velocity brake decelerates rotation of the threaded rod.

A disconnect mechanism comprises an input shaft defining a drive axis, a disconnect shaft selectively engaged with the input shaft to be driven about the drive axis by the input shaft, and a disconnect ramp operatively connected to the disconnect shaft to axially move the disconnect shaft between at least a first axial position and a second axial position. A disconnect pawl is selectively engaged with the disconnect ramp shaft, and a brake is selectively engaged with the disconnect shaft in the second axial position.
