A method for determining reference values of a sensor corresponding to a disengaged operating condition or to an engaged operating condition of a hydraulically actuatable, form-locking shift element (A, F), where at least one operating parameter of the form-locking shift element (A, F) is detected with the sensor during a disengagement and during an engagement of the form-locking shift element (A, F). The method may include subdividing an operating range of the shift form-locking element (A, F) into temperature and pressure classes. The method may further include determining a deviation between a current reference value for a temperature and pressure class of the temperature and pressure classes and an adapted reference value previously determined for the temperature and pressure class. Additionally, the method may include increasing or decreasing the adapted reference value by a predefined increment based on the deviation.

Methods and systems are provided for an actuation system for a driveline shifting member in a transmission system of a vehicle. In one example, a system may include an actuator coupled to a lever arm via one or more parallel axis gears, and a shaft connecting the lever arm to a driveline shifting member, the lever arm driven via a rolling element housed within a slot in the lever arm aligned with a center of a parallel axis gear of the one or more parallel axis gears.

A landing gear system including a landing gear actuator assembly arranged to selectably provide an increased torque output to a cross-shaft adaptor rotationally coupled to a cross-shaft of a trailer landing gear assembly. A rotational engagement mechanism is arranged to, in response to a remote signal, shift a rotational engagement mechanism to selectably couple the cross-shaft adaptor with a light gear set or selectably couple the cross-shaft adaptor with a heavy gear set. The landing gear actuator includes a slip-clutch assembly to dampen, reduce, or eliminate rotational shock caused when retracting or extending the legs of the landing gear system.

A transmission comprises a moving mechanism to generate axial force to move the one rotary member and releases the axial force according to generation of coasting torque, an urging mechanism to urge the one rotary member with force being poorer than the axial force being generated by the moving mechanism so that the meshing teeth mesh, the contact body of the urging mechanism arranged in a supporting hole formed on the torque transmission member in a radial direction, and an urging and converting part provided to receive the contact body being urged in the radial direction by the urging functional part and convert a direction of the urging to the axial direction to urge the axial movement of the one rotary member.

A transmission includes an input shaft and an output shaft, the input shaft selectively accepting a torque input from a prime mover, and the output shaft selectively providing torque output to a driveline. A controller determines a shaft displacement angle representing an angle value of rotational displacement difference between at least two shafts of the transmission, and performs a transmission operation responsive to the shaft displacement angle.

A laundry treatment apparatus includes an outer tub to receive wash water, a driving motor having a stator fixed to the outer tub, and a rotor rotated relative to the stator, a washing shaft rotated together with the rotor, and a rotatable spin-drying shaft spaced apart from the rotor. The laundry treatment apparatus also includes an inner tub disposed in the outer tub, a pulsator provided in the inner tub at a lower portion thereof, and a clutch assembly. The inner tub is rotated together with the spin-drying shaft and the pulsator is rotated by the washing shaft. The clutch assembly selects one of a plurality of modes including i) at least one restriction mode of restricting the spin-drying shaft to the rotor or the outer tub and ii) a free mode of not restricting the spin-drying shaft to the rotor and the outer tub.

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.

A torque sensing assembly of a differential of an axle assembly is described in the present disclosure. The differential may include a differential housing portion, a drive pinion positioned within the differential housing portion, a ring gear, a carrier, a differential pinion, a first side gear, a second side gear, a first bearing, a first bearing support, and the torque sensing assembly. The first bearing is coupled to the differential housing portion and rotatable with the carrier. The first bearing support is coupled to the differential housing portion and used to support the first bearing. The torque sensing assembly is coupled to the first bearing support and operable to measure a characteristic resulted from a separation force created between the drive pinion and ring gear.

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.
