When a contact point reaches the second angular interval, the cam wheel is displaced to activate said channel system.

A hydraulic control device with a pressure control valve that has a control piston and a modulating piston which can move relative to one another. The control piston and the modulating piston are pushed apart from one another by at least one spring. At one end face of the modulating piston there is arranged a pressure chamber in such a manner that when the pressure chamber is filled, the modulating piston is caused to move in the direction toward the control piston. The pressure chamber can be filled by a first volume flow Q1 of a pressure medium. A venting line, with at least one further throttle, is connected to the pressure chamber. A second volume flow Q2 can be discharged, via the venting line, from the pressure chamber, The hydraulic control device can be utilized in a marine transmission,

A pressure control device includes a body having a groove-shaped flow path including a groove part and a widened part; a filter unit having a frame body including a through hole part that penetrates in a direction orthogonal to a central axis, a filter member in a planar plate shape disposed on one end side in a direction of an axis of the groove-shaped flow path with respect to the through hole part, and a seal member in a ring shape disposed along an outer-side circumferential edge part of the frame body when viewed from the through hole part; and a plate-shaped member being attached to the body to cover the groove-shaped flow path in a state where the filter unit is accommodated in the widened part. The frame body has a regulating part which regulates a disposition direction of the filter member with respect to the groove part.

A hydraulic clutch assembly can include a shaft defining a shaft channel, one or more hydraulic ports defined through the shaft, and one or more lubrication holes defined through the shaft. A porting manifold can be disposed at least partially within the shaft channel. The porting manifold can include a control pressure path in fluid communication with the one or more hydraulic ports and a lubrication flow path in fluid communication with the one or more lubrication holes. The control pressure path and the lubrication path can be fluidly isolated in the porting manifold.

A wet clutch assembly can include a clutch pack having a plurality of friction members attached to a first clutch housing and a plurality of separator members attached to a second clutch housing. The friction members and the separator members can be configured to be selectively contacted to each other to engage the first housing member to the second housing member. The clutch pack can be in fluid communication with a lubrication source such that a lubrication flow can flow to the friction members and the separator members to remove heat and/or debris therefrom.

A driveline comprising an electrical machine, a chain drive, a first planetary gear set, a second planetary gear set, a range selector, a differential, and an axle assembly, wherein the electrical machine is constructed and arranged to selectively transmit power to the differential through the chain drive, the first planetary gear set, the range selector, and the second planetary gear set or to selectively receive power through the chain drive, the first planetary gear set, the range selector, the second planetary gear set, and the differential, and wherein the range selector is configured to selectively shift the driveline into a high range, a low range, and a neutral mode.

A frictional engagement element includes: a first piston, a second piston, a first urging member for urging the first piston in a direction of releasing a friction plate, and a second urging member for urging the second piston in the direction of releasing the friction plate with an urging force larger than the urging force of the first urging member. One of the first and second pistons has a communicating hole for connecting an engaging hydraulic chamber with an opposite hydraulic chamber and the other of the first and second pistons has a valve part for closing the communicating hole. The difference in travel distance between the first and second pistons in motion due to the different urging forces of the first and second urging members causes the valve part to open the communicating hole.
