A control apparatus for a synchronous meshing mechanism that is equipped with a gear, a sleeve, a synchronizer ring, and a hydraulic actuator is provided. When it is determined that the sleeve and the gear have been rotationally synchronized with each other in an engagement transition period of the synchronous meshing mechanism, an electronic control unit with which the control apparatus is equipped sets a command pressure for the hydraulic actuator to an intermediate pressure that is lower than a meshing completion pressure. Besides, when meshing has not been completed even after the lapse of a predetermined time from a timing when the command pressure for the hydraulic actuator is set to the intermediate pressure, the electronic control unit sets the command pressure for the hydraulic actuator to the meshing completion pressure.

A gearshift actuator configured to be driven by an eccentric electric motor has a rotating nut configured to be driven by the electric motor, an actuation member, and a converter adapted to convert a torque of the rotating nut into a translational force and to provide the translational force as an actuating force for a gear shift.

A power system includes an engine; a sensor to determine an engine speed; and a transmission. The transmission includes an input element configured to receive the power from the engine as input torque; an output element configured to provide at least a portion the power from the engine as output torque; and a clutch arrangement to transform the input torque into output torque. The clutch arrangement includes at least one clutch selectively positionable between a fully engaged state, a partially engaged state in which a portion of the input torque is transformed into the output torque, and a fully disengaged state. A controller is coupled to the at least one clutch and configured to generate clutch commands based at least in part on the engine speed to position the at least one clutch into the fully engaged state, the partially engaged state, or the fully disengaged state.

Torque reduction control is executed for temporarily reducing a torque capacity of a reaction engagement device during a transition of a shift. The reaction engagement device is maintained in an engaged state from before the shift to after the shift such that a predetermined rotating element in an automatic transmission bears a reaction caused by progress of the shift resulting from a change of an engaging-side engagement device into an engaged state. Therefore, without delaying a change of the engaging-side engagement device into the engaged state, transmission of torque that is generated as a result of rattling during a transition of a shift is reduced. Thus, in shift control over the automatic transmission, shock at the time of rattling is reduced while a stop of a shift due to a delay in change of the engaging-side engagement device into the engaged state is prevented.

A piston-cylinder assembly (1) has a cylindrical housing (3), with a main piston (2) and at least one trailing piston (11, 12). The trailing piston (11, 12) is axially guided on a cylindrical outer lateral face (38) of the main piston (2). The trailing piston (11, 12) has a thrust portion (13, 14) at one end near a piston web on the main piston, The thrust portion extends axially inward toward the piston web (10) A travel limiter (28) on the cylindrical housing limits a travel range of the trailing piston (11, 12) Under pressure, the trailing piston (11, 12) follows the main piston (2) until the trailing piston (11, 12) hits the travel limiter (28). The thrust portion (13, 14) of the trailing piston (11, 12) is shaped to fit into an associated recess (30, 31) in the piston web with a positive lock.

Hydraulic control device for an automated dual clutch transmission having first and second clutches with first and second sub-transmissions and also a gear shifting system. The hydraulic control device has a regulating unit that predetermines at least one regulated pressure and/or one regulated volume flow for actuating the first and second clutches and shifting system. The hydraulic control device has a switching device that is arranged between the regulating unit and the clutches or the shifting system, switching the regulated pressure or volume flow to the clutches or the shifting system. The regulating unit includes a first regulating valve and a second regulating valve that is connected to an oil pressure supply having a system pressure regulator and an electric oil pump.

A shift range control device includes an angle calculation unit, a target angle setting unit, a learning unit and a drive control unit. The learning unit learns a correction value to be used in calculating a motor angle target value based on a motor angle and an output shaft signal. The learning unit learns the correction value based on at least a first change point value, which is the motor angle at a timing at which the output shaft signal changes when a rotation member rotates in a first direction from a state in which an engagement member is in the center of valley section, and/or a second change point value, which is the motor angle at a timing at which the output shaft signal changes when the rotation member rotates in a second direction from a state in which the engagement member is in the center of the valley section.
