SELF-CONTAINED CLUTCH FOR DIESEL ENGINES

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.

High efficiency, high output transmission having ease of integration features

A transmission includes an input shaft coupled to a prime mover, a countershaft, main shaft, and an output shaft, with gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. A shift actuator selectively couples the input shaft to the main shaft by rotatably coupling gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. The shift actuator is mounted on an exterior wall of a housing including the countershaft and the main shaft. An integrated actuator housing is operationally coupled to the shift actuator and a linear clutch actuator. The linear clutch actuator is a self-adjusting actuator, and the transmission includes a self-adjusting clutch.

Shifting control method for vehicle with DCT

A shifting control method for a vehicle with a Double Clutch Transmission (DCT), may include determining whether a manual range power-on up shift has been started, determining whether an actual shifting period has been started, when the manual range power-on up shift has been started, and applying additional predetermined compensation torque to basic torque applied to an engagement-side clutch, when the actual shifting period has been started.

DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION

A dual clutch transmission comprises a housing formed therein with a gear chamber incorporating an odd-numbered speed gear train group and an even-numbered speed gear train group. An end of the input shaft is connected to an engine, and a cover is detachably attached to the housing opposite the end of the input shaft so as to define a clutch chamber divided from the gear chamber. A first clutch for the odd-numbered speed gear train group and a second clutch for the even-numbered speed gear train group are disposed in the clutch chamber. Fluid passages for supplying hydraulic fluid to the first and second clutches are formed in the cover.
