A vehicle drive includes a speed change mechanism connected to a rotary electric machine; an output member connected to the speed change mechanism and wheels; an engagement device changes a state of engagement between an input member connected to an engine and the speed change mechanism; a hydraulic pump driven by the engine or the rotary electric machine; a first pressure control device that controls pressure supplied from the pump and supplies the pressure to the speed change mechanism; a second, separate hydraulic pressure control device that controls the pressure supplied from the pump and supplies the pressure to the engagement device; and a case that houses the rotary electric machine, speed change mechanism, engagement device, and pump. At least the engagement device is housed in a space formed by the case, and the second hydraulic pressure control device is provided at a part of the case forming the space.

A dog clutch with ratcheting one-way clutch includes an axis, a dog clutch ring, a first ring, a second ring, and a plurality of rockers. The dog clutch ring has a plurality of first teeth. The first ring includes a plurality of second teeth, complementary to the first teeth, a first spline for receiving a first shaft, and a plurality of first pockets. The second ring includes a plurality of third teeth, complementary to the first teeth, a second spline for receiving a second shaft, and a plurality of second pockets. The plurality of rockers is disposed in a one of the plurality of first pockets or the plurality of second pockets for selectively engaging with the other one of the plurality of first pockets or the plurality of second pockets to prevent rotation of the first ring relative to the second ring in only one rotational direction.

A sealed actuator with internal clutching assembly including an output shaft, output detent ring, moving detent ring, and a wave spring, which is fit inside a sealed housing. The moving detent ring is able to move axially to the output shaft and the output detent ring is able to rotate on the output shaft. Intermeshing ramped teeth of these rings are held together by a wave spring and allow the output shaft to rotate and transmit torque of a motor through a main gear operably coupled to an output gear mounted on the output shaft to the outside of the housing. During predetermined high loads, the output and moving detent rings ramped teeth create an axial force that overcomes the load from the wave spring, which allows moving detent ring to disengage and output shaft to rotate freely to help prevent damage to the actuator.

A friction clutch mechanism includes a diaphragm spring, a pressure plate having a peripheral fulcrum acting against a first face of the diaphragm spring, and a pair of axially opposed intermediate fulcrums supported by a clutch cover and acting on the opposite faces of the diaphragm spring along a radially intermediate portion thereof. The friction clutch mechanism has an additional elastic element, operatively associated with a first intermediate fulcrum of the pair of axially opposed intermediate fulcrums, and axially and elastically compressible in response to a deflection of the diaphragm spring towards an open friction condition. The additional elastic element has a radially innermost annular portion resting on one or more bearing surfaces supported by the clutch cover, and a radially outermost annular portion that cantilevers and has a protrusion circumferentially extended and axially projecting towards the first face of the diaphragm spring to serve as the first intermediate fulcrum.

A selectively connectable driveline system including a first rotatable shaft extended along a lateral direction, a second rotatable shaft extended along the lateral direction separable along the lateral direction from the first rotatable shaft, and a coupling assembly moveable along the lateral direction. The coupling assembly is connected to the first rotatable shaft and is further selectively connectable to the second rotatable shaft.

A gas turbine engine according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a rotatable shaft and a cover substantially covering an end of the rotatable shaft. The cover includes a passageway fluidly coupled from outside the shaft to inside the shaft. The cover further includes a fin configured to prevent oil from entering the passageway.

A dog clutch with ratcheting one-way clutch includes an axis, a dog clutch ring, a first ring, a second ring, and a plurality of rockers. The dog clutch ring has a plurality of first teeth. The first ring includes a plurality of second teeth, complementary to the first teeth, a first spline for receiving a first shaft, and a plurality of first pockets. The second ring includes a plurality of third teeth, complementary to the first teeth, a second spline for receiving a second shaft, and a plurality of second pockets. The plurality of rockers is disposed in a one of the plurality of first pockets or the plurality of second pockets for selectively engaging with the other one of the plurality of first pockets or the plurality of second pockets to prevent rotation of the first ring relative to the second ring in only one rotational direction.

A rotary coupling (200) for an all-wheel drive vehicle includes a housing (210), an input part (212), an output part (214), and a clutch (220) disposed within a clutch area (222) of the housing (210) and is movable between an engaged position and a disengaged position to change an amount of torque transferred from the input part (212) to the output part (214). A fluid reservoir (260) is defined in the housing (210). A lubrication valve (250) is movable between an open position and a closed position for controlling supply of a fluid from the fluid reservoir (260) to the clutch area (222) of the housing (210). An actuator (238) is connected to the clutch (220) to move the clutch (220) between the engaged position and the disengaged position and connected to the lubrication valve (250) to move the lubrication valve (250) between the open position and the closed position.

A cover assembly for a motor vehicle clutch is provided. The cover assembly includes a cover, a pressure plate, a leaf spring connecting the pressure plate to the cover such that the pressure plate is axially movable with respect to the cover, an actuator plate configured for axially moving the pressure plate away from the cover and a retainer fixed to the pressure plate. The retainer is arranged for limiting liftoff of the actuator plate from the pressure plate. The cover assembly also includes a washer sandwiched axially between the retainer and the leaf spring. A method of constructing a cover assembly for a motor vehicle clutch is also provided.

A rotary-member lubricating structure includes a housing, a baffle portion, a support portion, and a bolt. The baffle portion has a shape conforming to a shape of a rotary member included in a speed-changing mechanism and covers the rotary member to collect or discharge scattered lubricating oil. The baffle portion includes a first partial baffle portion provided on a first side of the rotary member and a second partial baffle portion provided on a second side of the rotary member. The first partial baffle portion has a protrusion protruding radially outward from an outer circumference of the baffle portion and a fastening hole provided in the protrusion and extending through the first partial baffle portion in an axial direction of the rotary member. The second partial baffle portion has a filling portion to fill a recess in the first partial baffle portion provided due to the protrusion.
