The invention relates to a hydraulic assembly for driving a friction clutch, comprising a hydraulically driveable actuator cylinder, a pump driving the actuator cylinder, wherein the actuator cylinder has a working piston with a working chamber and the working piston moveably arranged in the working chamber divides said working chamber into a main chamber and an auxiliary chamber, at least one control valve which is designed as a multi-port valve and arranged in the line path between the actuator cylinder and the pump, wherein a first supply line leads from the pump to the control valve, whereby a line path is created via a second supply line in a first valve position of the control valve, which leads to the main chamber of the actuator cylinder. In addition, in a second valve position of the control valve, the auxiliary chamber of the working chamber can be fluidically connected to the line path of the first and second supply lines via a first discharge line, while simultaneously, in the second valve position, the main chamber is connected via the first and second supply lines by means of the pump.

Systems and methods for a power take-off (PTO) assembly. The PTO assembly, in one example, couples to a shaft and is driven by rotation of the shaft. The PTO assembly includes a disconnect clutch that selectively couples a bi-directional pump to the shaft. The disconnect clutch is passively actuated based on hydraulic system pressure to disengage the disconnect clutch when a prime mover is in operation and engage the disconnect clutch when the prime mover is shut down.

A power transmitting component can include a friction clutch, a ram, a pump, a fluid storage device and a valve. The ram can have a piston chamber and a piston movable therein between a first and second position to engage the friction clutch. A first inlet/outlet of the pump can be fluidly coupled to a reservoir. The fluid storage device can hold pressurized hydraulic fluid. The valve can be fluidly coupled with the piston chamber, a second inlet/outlet of the pump, and the fluid storage device. When in a first mode, the valve can permit fluid communication between the pump and the fluid storage device, inhibit fluid communication between the piston chamber and the pump, and inhibit fluid communication between the piston chamber and the fluid storage device. When in a second mode, the valve can permit fluid communication between the pump, the fluid storage device, and the piston chamber.

A drive train cooling arrangement for motor vehicles has a first cooling circuit and a second cooling circuit and has a pump arrangement, by means of which coolant can be fed to the first and the second cooling circuit. The pump arrangement has a bidirectional pump, which has a first pump port and a second pump port and which can be driven by a pump electric motor. The first pump port is connected to the first cooling circuit, wherein the second pump port is connected to the second cooling circuit. A coolant volume flow which is provided for at least one of the first and the second cooling circuit can be adjusted by changing the rotational speed of the pump electric motor.

The invention relates to an actuating device for actuating a clutch and/or a transmission of a motor vehicle, including a pump having two fluid connections and including a movable actuating element fluidically connected to a first fluid connection of the pump, wherein the pump is designed such that in a first pump position, in which the pump is driven in a first direction of rotation, for extending the actuating element the pump conveys a pressure fluid in a first conveying direction from a second fluid connection to the first fluid connection, wherein the pump is configured as a variable displacement pump which is reversible with regard to the conveying direction of the pump, wherein the pump is designed such that after it has been moved into a second pump position, in which the pump is driven in the first direction of rotation, for retracting the actuating element the pump conveys a pressure fluid in a second conveying direction, opposite the first conveying direction, from the first fluid connection to the second fluid connection. The invention further relates to a clutch and to a transmission system having such an actuating device.

An intelligent load-sensing EHA, comprising a variable displacement hydraulic pump, a symmetrical hydraulic cylinder, a feedback module, a pressure-following valve and an execution mechanism. The symmetrical hydraulic cylinder includes a symmetrical plunger, a first cylinder and a second cylinder separated by the plunger. The variable displacement hydraulic pump includes an oil inlet and an oil outlet. An output of the feedback module is to output a greater one of pressures at the first input and the second input to the execution mechanism. The pressure-following valve is connected between the output of the feedback module and an input end of the execution mechanism to reduce an instantaneous flow input to the input end of the execution mechanism and adjust pressure at the input end thereof. The execution mechanism is to receive an output of the feedback module and generate signal for changing displacement of the variable displacement hydraulic pump.

Actuator arrangement for a drive train, which has at least one friction clutch for transmitting drive torque and has a transmission. The friction clutch can be actuated by means of a hydraulic clutch cylinder, which is connected directly to a pump port of a pump driven by an electric motor in order to actuate the friction clutch, such that the friction clutch can be actuated by varying the speed of the pump. The actuator arrangement has a parking lock actuator device for actuating a parking lock arrangement of the drive train. The parking lock actuator device has at least one hydraulic parking lock cylinder, which can be connected to the pump, such that the parking lock arrangement can be actuated by varying at least one of the direction of rotation or the speed of the pump.
