A transmission includes a plurality of pneumatic actuators for gear shifting, wherein the pneumatic actuators are arranged to discharge compressed air via a common ventilation system including at least one ventilation opening arranged in a housing arrangement of the transmission. A method for controlling ventilation of the transmission includes determining that a predetermined flushing condition is fulfilled and, in response thereto, initiating a flushing action in which at least two of the pneumatic actuators are controlled to discharge compressed air simultaneously or substantially simultaneously to the common ventilation system so as to force air through the at least one ventilation opening.

A speed change device for shifting the gear of a transmission. The transmission includes a first shifter shaft, a first shifter element associated to the first shifter shaft and arranged for movement in an axial direction of the first shifter shaft for actuating a first set of gears. It further comprises a second shifter shaft and a second shifter element associated to the second shifter shaft and arranged for movement in an axial direction of the second shifter shaft for actuating a second set of gears. One of said first and second shifter shafts is hollow and the other of said first and second shifter shafts is partly arranged coaxially inside the hollow shaft.

A hydraulic actuator can be provided for actuating a functional part by a movement of a force transmission element, with a working piston which can be acted upon by a hydraulic pressure of a pressure supply and is movable thereover between a first extreme position and a second extreme position in a piston/cylinder unit, wherein two chambers separated from one another by the working piston are present and a first chamber is formed as a first working chamber with a pressure inlet and a hydraulic pressure applied to the first pressure inlet urges the working piston in the direction of the first extreme position in order to enlarge the first working chamber. At least one retaining means is provided which is capable of automatically locking the working piston in one of the extreme positions when this extreme position is reached, even without any hydraulic pressure being applied.

Methods and systems for a clutch assembly in an electric drive axle of a vehicle are provided. In one example, a clutch assembly in a gear train is provided that includes a locking clutch. The locking clutch includes a gear including a plurality of teeth having at least one tooth with a tapered end, an indexing shaft rotationally connected to an output shaft, a shift collar mounted on the indexing shaft, configured to translate on the indexing shaft into an engaged and disengaged configuration, and including a plurality of teeth on a face, where at least one tooth in the plurality of teeth in the shift collar includes a tapered end, and an indexing mechanism coupled to the shift collar and the indexing shaft and configured to accommodate for indexing between the indexing shaft and the shift collar during shift collar engagement.

A diff-lock operation shaft 50 is supported by a case 11 in such a manner as to be rotatable around an axis P1 of the diff-lock operation shaft 50 and operates a diff-lock section 48 to a lock position A2 by being rotated, and a first coil spring 51 is wound around the outer surface of the diff-lock operation shaft 50 concentrically with the diff-lock operation shaft 50, and is linked at one end portion 51b to the diff-lock operation shaft 50 and at another end portion 51a to linking members 55 and 56. The first coil spring 51 is twisted around the axis P1 via the linking members 55 and 56 by the manual operation tool 58 being operated, and the diff-lock operation shaft 50 is rotated via the first coil spring 51.

A plunger lock mechanism including a housing containing a rotationally supported lever shaped component, the component including at least one notch or recess configured within an arcuate surface. An electric motor is configured to rotate a cam extending within the housing, the cam actuating at least one plunger having an extending portion aligning with a selected notch. Upon rotation of the cam by the motor, the plunger is caused to displace between either of engaged and disengaged positions with the component such that, when disengaged, permitting rotation of the component.

An actuator for the actuation of at least one movable member of a motor vehicle transmission. The actuator includes a housing, at least one electric motor having a stator and a rotor mounted on a rotor shaft extending along an axis X1, a motor pinion fixed to the opposite end of the shaft from the rotor, a circuit board for supplying power to the stator and controlling the electric motor, and a reduction mechanism driven by the motor pinion. The housing defines a first volume in which the electric motor and the circuit board are received. The circuit board is located axially along the axis X1 between the electric motor and the motor pinion. The actuator further includes a cover defining a second volume in which the reduction mechanism is received, the housing and the cover each have guides for guiding the reduction mechanism.

An actuator for the actuation of at least one movable member of a motor vehicle transmission. The actuator includes a housing and a cover defining an internal volume in which are received at least one electric motor having a stator and a rotor mounted on a rotor shaft extending along an axis X1, a motor pinion fixed to the opposite end of the shaft to the rotor, a reduction mechanism driven by the motor pinion, a pin mounted so as to be able to rotate at the end of a shaft extending along an axis X3 and able to be engaged in the movable member of the transmission. The shaft of the pin is rotationally guided by a rolling bearing and a slide bearing.
