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 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 includes a single external power access for the shift actuator. A controller interprets a shaft displacement angle, determines if the transmission is in an imminent zero or zero torque region, and performs a transmission operation in response to the transmission in the imminent zero or zero torque region.

A working vehicle includes a first hydraulic clutch connected to the first traveling shaft, a second hydraulic clutch connected to the first traveling shaft separately from the first hydraulic clutch, a first gear mechanism to transmit, to a second traveling shaft, power from the first hydraulic clutch when the first hydraulic clutch is engaged and not to transmit, to the second traveling shaft, power from the first hydraulic clutch when the first hydraulic clutch is disengaged, and a second gear mechanism to transmit, to the second traveling shaft, power from the second hydraulic clutch when the second hydraulic clutch is engaged and not to transmit, to the second traveling shaft, power from the second hydraulic clutch when the second hydraulic clutch is disengaged.

The present disclosure relates to a method for defining a clutch slipping point position (X.sub.sp) of a clutch in a gearbox comprising an input shaft arranged to be braked by a braking means. The method includes determining if the clutch is dragging when the clutch is fully disengaged. The method includes when it is determined that the clutch is dragging, applying the braking means with a predetermined brake torque (T.sub.b) and so that the input shaft is not rotating; and thereafter: moving the clutch from the fully disengaged position towards an engaged position; determining when the input shaft starts to rotate with a predetermined rotation value indicative of a rotational speed of the input shaft; registering a clutch position (X.sub.b) in which the clutch is positioned when the predetermined rotation value is reached; using a clutch transfer characteristics of the clutch, T.sub.b, and X.sub.b to define the clutch slipping point position (X.sub.sp).

The present invention relates to a clutch arrangement (500) of a vehicle transmission arrangement (100), the clutch arrangement (500) being positioned within a clutch bell housing (206) of the vehicle transmission and comprising a pneumatically controlled actuator arrangement (208) connectable to a first clutch unit (202) of the vehicle transmission arrangement (100) and arranged to controllably position the first clutch unit (202) between a closed position and an opened position, a pneumatically controlled brake actuator arrangement (210) connectable to a second clutch unit (204) of the transmission arrangement and arranged to controllably position the second clutch unit (204) between a closed position and an opened position, and a valve unit (302) connected to the pneumatically controlled actuator arrangement (208) and the pneumatically controlled brake actuator arrangement (210), wherein the valve unit (302) comprises a clutch valve (308) arranged in fluid communication with the pneumatically controlled actuator arrangement (210) for controlling supply of compressed air to the pneumatically controlled actuator arrangement (210), and a brake valve (318) arranged in fluid communication with the pneumatically controlled brake actuator arrangement (210) for controlling supply of compressed air to the pneumatically controlled brake actuator arrangement (210).

An implement drive system is provided for an implement towed by a prime mover vehicle in a work vehicle train. The system includes an axle arrangement and an auxiliary power unit. The auxiliary power unit includes an electric motor; a planetary gear set receiving rotational input from the electric motor and providing a rotational output with a decreased rotational speed and an increased torque relative to the rotational input; and a disconnect device having an output configured to be coupled to the axle arrangement. The disconnect device is movable to a first position in which the disconnect device transfers the rotational output from the planetary gear set to the axle arrangement such the rotational input drives the wheels of the implement. The disconnect device is movable to a second position in which the disconnect device decouples the axle arrangement from the rotational input of the electric motor.
