SYSTEM AND METHOD TO DISCONNECT AND BRAKE A ROTATING DEVICE

A disconnect mechanism comprises an input shaft defining a drive axis, a disconnect shaft selectively engaged with the input shaft to be driven about the drive axis by the input shaft, and a disconnect ramp operatively connected to the disconnect shaft to axially move the disconnect shaft between at least a first axial position and a second axial position. A disconnect pawl is selectively engaged with the disconnect ramp shaft, and a brake is selectively engaged with the disconnect shaft in the second axial position.

Pickup drive system for an agricultural baler

A pickup unit of an agricultural baler that includes a reel with a plurality of tines configured for lifting a crop material from a field, the reel is rotatable in an operating direction and a reverse direction, and a drive system configured for driving the reel. The drive system includes a gearbox configured for receiving motive power from a power take off (PTO) shaft, a drive shaft operably connected to the gearbox, and a first clutch connected to the drive shaft. The first clutch is configured for operably disconnecting motive power to the reel so that the reel is manually rotatable as the PTO shaft remains operably engaged with the gearbox.

HYDROKINETIC TORQUE COUPLING DEVICE HAVING AXIALLY MOVABLE TURBINE-PISTON AND LOCKUP CLUTCH, AND RELATED METHODS
20170343092 · 2017-11-30 ·

A hydrokinetic torque coupling device comprises a casing, a torque converter, a torsional vibration damper and a lockup clutch disposed within the casing. The torque converter comprises an impeller and a turbine-piston coaxially aligned with the impeller and axially movable toward and away from the casing to position the hydrokinetic torque coupling device into and out of a lockup mode in which the turbine-piston is non-rotatably frictionally coupled to the casing. The torsional vibration damper comprises an input member non-moveably secured to the turbine-piston, a first retainer plate and the elastic members elastically coupling the input member to the first retainer plate. The input member includes an actuating portion configured to actuate the lockup clutch. The lockup clutch is disposed within the casing between the actuating portion of the input member and a cover shell of the casing for frictionally coupling the casing and the turbine-piston.

INTEGRATED CLUTCH SYSTEMS FOR TORQUE CONVERTERS OF VEHICLE POWERTRAINS

Disclosed is a hydrokinetic torque converter (TC) with a TC housing. An impeller is disposed within the TC housing and connects to an engine output shaft. A turbine is disposed within the TC housing and connects to a transmission input shaft via a TC output shaft. A torque converter clutch (TCC), which is disposed within the TC housing and coupled to the TC output shaft, selectively locks the impeller to the TC output shaft. A damper, which is disposed within the TC housing and coupled to the TCC, dampens vibrations transmitted by the TCC. A disconnect device, which is disposed within the TC housing and coupled to the damper assembly and TC output shaft, connects the turbine to the TC output shaft or damper when positive torque is being transferred, and disconnects the turbine and TC output shaft or damper when negative torque is being transferred.
