A keyless rotation transfer unit may include a spline forming a pulley coupling force between an inner circumference of a shaft hole of a pulley and an outer circumference of a keyless shaft end forming one end of a shaft, with the keyless shaft end inserted into the shaft hole, and a flange nut screw-fastened to the keyless shaft end coming out of the shaft hole and forming a screw fastening force to press one surface of the pulley. In particular, the screw fastening force forms a shaft fastening force that causes a bearing to pressurize the other surface of the pulley, the bearing is coupled to the keyless shaft end and located at the rear of the pulley, and the flange nut forms a pulley holding force using the screw fastening force and the shaft fastening force.

A system and method are provided for hybrid electric internal combustion engine applications in which a motor-generator, a narrow switchable coupling and a torque transfer unit therebetween are arranged and positioned in the constrained environment at the front of an engine in applications such as commercial vehicles, off-road vehicles and stationary engine installations. The motor-generator is preferably positioned laterally offset from the switchable coupling, which is co-axially-arranged with the front end of the engine crankshaft. The switchable coupling is an integrated unit in which a crankshaft vibration damper, an engine accessory drive pulley and a disengageable clutch overlap such that the axial depth of the clutch-pulley-damper unit is nearly the same as a conventional belt drive pulley and engine damper. The front end motor-generator system includes an electrical energy store that receives electrical energy generated by the motor-generator when the coupling is engaged. When the coupling is disengaged, the motor-generator may drive the pulley portion of the clutch-pulley-damper to drive the engine accessories using energy returned from the energy store, independent of the engine crankshaft.

A method for fault-tolerant coasting control of a powertrain system having an engine and a first energy storage system (ESS) includes receiving a real impedance value of the first ESS from a frequency analyzer device at a calibrated frequency while the engine is running, and comparing the real impedance value to a calibrated impedance. A coasting maneuver is enabled allowing the engine to turn off above a threshold speed when the real impedance value is less than the calibrated impedance. The method may include starting the engine using a second ESS in parallel with the first ESS to exit the coasting maneuver when the real impedance value exceeds the calibrated impedance. Subsequent execution of the coasting maneuver may be prevented as long as the real impedance value exceeds the calibrated impedance. A powertrain system includes the engine, starter motor, rechargeable ESS, frequency analyzer, and controller.

In order to permit a high degree of variability in terms of a wheel set concept as well as the distribution and the number of electrical and internal-combustion-engine gearspeeds, to keep the expenditure on design and the costs low and to ensure efficient and comfortable operation, there is provision that the two transmission input shafts (W1, W3; W1, W3) are arranged coaxially with respect to one another, and in that in one of its shifted positions a gear shift device (S1) connects the two transmission input shafts (W1, W3; W1, W3) to one another effectively in terms of drive, and in another shifted position shifts a gearspeed.
