HYBRID DRIVING MODULE
The present invention relates to a hybrid driving module, in which an input member is aligned in a radial direction and/or an axial direction by a rotor hub, and thus the hybrid driving module may be easily assembled and ensure the high axial balance and the operability and durability of the engine clutch. In the hybrid driving module, the input member may be aligned at least in the radial direction or in the axial direction by a central shaft extension part of the rotor hub. A bearing configured to support a rotation and thrust may be installed between the central shaft extension part and the input member. The input member may be supported to be rotatable relative to a housing. The input member may be aligned in the radial direction and/or the axial direction by the housing.
Transfer Case with Oil Distribution
A transfer case comprises a primary output shaft, a secondary output shaft, a clutch, and a plurality of valves. The primary output shaft includes a hub rotationally coupled thereto. The clutch is selectively couples the primary output shaft to the secondary output shaft to transfer torque therebetween. The clutch includes a housing, interleaved plates, and an apply plate. The housing is rotationally coupled to the secondary output shaft. The interleaved plates alternate between a first subset of the interleaved plates rotationally coupled to the hub, and a second subset of the interleaved plates rotationally coupled to the housing. The apply plate compresses the interleaved plates for transferring torque between the hub and the housing. The valves selectively release oil supplied through the primary output shaft into the housing. Each valve includes a bore formed in the hub and a valve rod movable by the apply plate to open the valve.
Transfer Case With Oil Distribution
A transfer case includes a primary output shaft, a secondary output shaft, a clutch, and a hub. The clutch includes a plurality of interleaved plates for selectively rotationally coupling the primary output shaft to the secondary output shaft. The hub rotationally couples the primary output shaft and the clutch. The hub includes an outer annular member and an inner annular member. The inner annular member is rotatable within the outer annular member for the hub to selectively release oil into the clutch.
Power transfer component with clutch having components with geometry for increased strength and/or reduced mass
A friction clutch with a clutch plate having a hub member, a rim portion and a plurality of rib members. The hub member has a plurality of female hub teeth. The rim portion is disposed concentrically about the hub member and has a rim member and a friction material that is coupled to the rim member. Each of the rib members extend radially between the hub member and the rim member to couple the hub member and the rim member to one another. Each one of the rib members is intersected by at least three of the other rib members. Each of the other rib members intersecting the one of the rib members at a distinct location such that the distinct locations are spaced apart from one another along the one of the rib members.

Clutch assembly
A clutch assembly including a sealed clutch and a spacer. The clutch is connected to the spacer and the spacer is connectable to a flywheel along a common axis and the spacer facilitates connection of the clutch to the flywheel in at least two different axially spaced positions. A connection ring can connect the spacer connection to flywheel.
DAMPER DEVICE
A damper device includes a hub flange, an input rotor, an elastic member, and a contact assist mechanism. The hub flange includes internal teeth meshed with external teeth of a power transmission shaft. The input rotor is disposed to be rotatable relative to the hub flange. The elastic member elastically couples the input rotor and the hub flange.

Torsional Damper With Angular-Dependent Friction Damping Device
A Torsion damper wherein a first group of friction rings is supported in circumferential direction so as to be stationary with respect to the torque output part, and a second group of friction rings is supported in circumferential direction in the first swivel angle range so as to be moveable relative to the torque input disk and torque output disk, and in the second swivel angle range the second group of friction rings is supported in circumferential direction in a driving connection with respect to the torque input disk and executes a synchronous rotational movement with the torque input disk, wherein in the second swivel angle range a relative movement in circumferential direction takes place between the torque output disk and the second friction ring group, and a relative movement in circumferential direction takes place between the torque input disk and the first friction ring group.
Clutch Disk With Torsional Angular-Dependent Friction Damping Device
A torsion damper with at least one torque input disk and at least one torque output disk, wherein the torque input disk can move in circumferential direction relative to the torque output disk against the force of at least one spring storage, wherein the relative movement is damped by a friction device which generates a smaller friction torque in a first swivel angle range than in a second swivel angle range in that the friction device has at least two friction ring pairs which are rotatable opposite one another and which are activated depending on the swivel angle via a driving connection of at least one friction ring with the torque input disk.

DAMPER DEVICE
A damper device includes a first rotor, a second rotor, an elastic coupling part elastically coupling the first and second rotors in a rotational direction, and a hysteresis generating mechanism. The hysteresis generating mechanism generates a hysteresis torque and includes a friction member. The friction member is configured to make frictional contact with the first or second rotor. The friction member does not make frictional contact with the first and second rotors in a first torsion angular range where torsion is caused from a neutral condition to a first side and a second side in the rotational direction. The friction member makes frictional contact with the first or second rotor so as to generate a hysteresis torque in a second torsion angular range exceeding the first torsion angular range. The friction member is set in a neutral position by actuation of the elastic coupling part in the neutral condition.
