CLUTCH ACTUATOR, DETECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING AN ANGULAR POSITION OF A ROTARY COMPONENT
A first sensor signal and a second sensor signal are provided by a sensor unit to an evaluation unit. The first sensor signal is dependent on the angular position and is associated with a first detection position, and the second sensor signal is associated with a second detection position lying about the rotational axis perpendicular to the first detection position. An orthogonal error is converted by the evaluation unit into an amplitude difference between respective amplitudes of the first and second sensor signals based on a coordinate transformation of the first and second sensor signals. Each of the first and second sensor signals are adjusted by the evaluation unit based on the amplitude difference. An angular position of a rotational component is determined by the evaluation unit based on output from an a tan 2-function that takes the adjusted first and second sensor signals as input.
Valve Assembly and System Including Same for Controlling Fluid Flow to and from a Clutch
A system for controlling fluid flow to and from a clutch includes a motor, a pump, and a valve assembly. The valve assembly includes a housing defining an interior. The housing defines a first orifice operably coupled to the pump and a second orifice operably coupled to the clutch. The valve assembly also includes a piston operably coupled to the motor and disposed within the interior of said housing. The piston is movable between a first position for allowing the fluid flow between the first orifice and the second orifice, a second position for obstructing the fluid flow between the first orifice and the second orifice, and a third position for limiting the fluid flow between the first orifice and the second orifice. The valve assembly additionally includes a biasing member coupled to the piston. The biasing member biases the piston toward the first position.
CLUTCH ACTUATOR, SENSING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SENSING AN ANGULAR POSITION OF A ROTATIONAL COMPONENT
A first sensor signal and a second sensor signal are provided by a sensor unit to an evaluation unit. The first sensor signal is dependent on the angular position and is associated with a first detection position, and the second sensor signal is associated with a second detection position lying about the rotational axis perpendicular to the first detection position. An angular position of a rotational component is determined by the evaluation unit based on output from an atan2-function that takes the first and second sensor signals as input. A harmonic error is determined by the evaluation unit based on a periodic error signal that is superimposed on each of the sensor signals. An angular error of the angular position is determined by the evaluation unit based on the harmonic error. The angular position is updated by the evaluation unit based on the angular error.
CLUTCH ACTUATOR, DETECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING AN ANGULAR POSITION OF A ROTARY COMPONENT
A first sensor signal and a second sensor signal are provided by a sensor unit to an evaluation unit. The first sensor signal is dependent on the angular position, and the second sensor signal is phase-shifted by 90° with respect to the first sensor signal. A noise value that is superimposed on each sensor signal due to noise in the corresponding sensor signal is determined by the evaluation unit. Each sensor signal is corrected by the evaluation unit based on the noise value determined for the corresponding sensor signal. Highest amplitudes for each of the first and second sensor signals are determined by the evaluation unit as a maximum value of amplitudes of the respective sensor signals detected over multiple revolutions of the rotational element. An angular portion of a rotational component is determined by the evaluation unit based on output from an atan2-function that takes the first and second sensor signals and the highest amplitudes as input.
