A system for bypassing a torque converter in a powertrain is provided. The system includes a torque generating device including an output shaft and a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly includes a transmission output shaft and a torque converter, a torque converter bypass shaft. The transmission assembly further includes a disconnect clutch selectively coupling the torque converter with the torque generating device and a torque converter clutch selectively coupling the torque converter bypass shaft with the torque generating device. Engaging the disconnect clutch and disengaging the torque converter clutch enables the torque generating device to transmit torque to the transmission output shaft through the torque converter. Engaging the torque converter clutch and disengaging the disconnect clutch enables the torque generating device to transmit torque to the transmission output shaft through the torque converter bypass shaft.

In a damping system for a hydraulic coupling device includes an output hub having a central axis and an annulus which surrounds the central axis, first tracks are arranged in the annulus, and a plurality of turbine mass assemblies are uniformly distributed around the central axis. Each turbine mass assembly comprises a turbine section carrying a plurality of blades and being provided with a second track corresponding to a respective first track. A roller can roll along a roller track defined by a first track and a corresponding second track so that the turbine mass assembly can move relative to the output hub and exert torque on the output hub. Each turbine mass assembly further comprises a mass plate fixedly connected to the turbine section, the output hub being arranged between the mass plate and the turbine section.

An earth working machine (10), encompassing a drive motor (42) and a working apparatus (22) drivable by the drive motor (42) so as to move rotationally, the drive motor (42) being connected to the working apparatus (22), for transfer of a torque, with interposition of a shiftable transmission (50; 150) comprising at least two gearing stages having different torque transfer ratios, is characterized in that by means of a first gearing stage of the shiftable transmission (50), an input shaft (48), coupled on the input side to the drive motor (42), of the shiftable transmission (50) is connectable in torque-transferring fashion directly to an output shaft (52), coupled on the output side to the working apparatus (22), of the shiftable transmission (50) so as to rotate together at the same rotation speed; and by means of a second gearing stage of the shiftable transmission (50), the input shaft (48) is connectable in torque-transferring fashion, with interposition of a transmission assemblage (64), to the output shaft (52) so as to rotate together at different rotation speeds.

A hydrostatic rotating machine includes an internal element and an external element that revolve with respect to one another about an axis of rotation, a cylinder block, and a hydraulic distributor. The hydraulic distributor includes an insertion section extending axially between a section of lesser diameter and a section of greater diameter, with a first synchronization surface, and fluid distribution ducts which each have an end segment opening transversely at the first synchronization surface, and obliquely with respect to the axis of rotation. The cylinder block includes a reception section complementing the insertion section of the hydraulic distributor, and fluid diffusion ducts which each have an end segment opening transversely at the second synchronization surface, and obliquely with respect to the axis of rotation.
