In one example, an axle housing, comprising a center portion including a cavity configured to house a differential assembly and at least one dam arranged in an arm portion that extends from the center portion and is configured to receive an axle shaft, wherein the at least one dam comprises a flow facilitating protrusion that extends from the dam panel in a direction away from the center portion.

A lubricant guide shell (32) for includes a first, radially extending section (33), which is provided for being situated axially opposite an end face (35) of a torque converter (9) in an installed state of the lubricant guide shell (32). The first section (33) transitions radially outwardly into a second, axially extending section (34), which, in the installed state of the lubricant guide shell (32), is configured for axially at least partially and radially outwardly encompassing the torque converter starting from the first section (33). The first section (33) as well as the second section (34) are configured to be completely circumferential.

A gear unit includes a toothed wheel, a reservoir receiving lubricant for lubricating the toothed wheel, a displacement body configured to set a lubricant level in the reservoir, and an actuator configured to move the displacement body as a function of a temperature as the displacement body is wetted with the lubricant.

A hydraulic control device for an auto transmission may include: an oil pump unit configured to supply oil; a line pressure control unit configured to form line pressure using the oil supplied from the oil pump unit; a lubricating pressure control unit configured to form lubricating pressure using the oil passing through the line pressure control unit; a reducing pressure control unit configured to form reducing pressure using the oil passing through the lubricating pressure control unit; a damper control pressure control unit configured to form damper control pressure using the oil supplied from the oil pump unit; a switch unit configured to supply the lubricating pressure or the reducing pressure to a torque converter; a collection unit configured to collect the lubricating pressure; and a retention unit connected to the switch unit, and configured to retain the lubricating pressure of the torque converter.

A vehicle driveline component with a housing, a rotary power transmission system, a lubricant and a lubrication de-aerator. The housing defines a cavity and a sump. The rotary power transmission system is received in the cavity and includes a plurality of gears that are in meshing engagement. The lubricant is received in the sump and is employed to lubricate the rotary power transmission system. The lubrication de-aerator is received in the housing and has at least one matrix of de-aeration cells that extend between an upper surface and a lower surface. Each of the de-aeration cells has a cell inlet, which is formed through the upper surface, and a cell outlet that is formed through the lower surface. Each of the de-aeration cells tapers between its cell inlet and its cell outlet.

A gear unit includes a housing, a trough for guiding oil and reducing losses due to splashing surrounding a circumferential section of a toothing part, the trough including at least three parts, e.g., at least one bottom plate and two side walls, the bottom plate being screw-connected to the two side walls, the trough being fastened to the housing, the trough having an opening, the bottom plate and the side walls being stamped bent parts.

A transmission lubrication system for a vehicle providing a continuous return flow of a lubricant. The transmission lubrication system includes a differential housing, a transmission housing, a lubricant tank, a suction line, a lubricant pump, and an air suction pump. The transmission housing is connected to the differential housing in an air-tight manner and a lubricant through-passage is provided between the transmission housing and the differential housing. The lubricant tank is provided in the differential housing and has a lubricant suction opening in a lower region. The lubricant pump conveys lubricant from the lubricant tank through the suction line and conducts the lubricant to the lubrication points in the differential housing and transmission housing. The air suction pump pumps air from the lubricant tank into the transmission housing so that an excess air pressure is maintained in the transmission housing.

An oil supply arrangement of a vehicle with an electric machine in a housing with at least one oil volume connected to an oil volume of a transmission housing of the vehicle for oil supply. The oil volume of the electric machine is divided into at least two oil supply spaces to compensate an oil level in the housing. A first oil supply space is arranged at a side of the housing facing the driving direction of the vehicle and a second oil supply space is arranged at a side of the housing opposite the driving direction of the vehicle.

A power transmission device includes: a gear; a case receiving the gear; and a baffle plate positioned between the gear and the case; the baffle plate including a guide portion arranged to guide an oil scooped up by the gear, into between the baffle plate and the case, and the guide portion being disposed above an oil level within the case, the guide portion being adjacent to an axial side surface of the gear, the guide portion being positioned in the baffle plate on an upstream side in a rotation direction of the gear, and the guide portion including a first bent portion which is positioned on a tip end side, and which is bent in a direction from the case toward the gear.

A gear wheel is connectable to a transmission shaft of a vehicle gear transmission arranged in a gearbox housing. The gear wheel being configured to be lubricated by a lubricant in a lubricant reservoir of the gearbox housing, wherein the gear wheel comprises a first axial end surface; a second axial end surface arranged on an opposite side of the gear wheel relative to the first axial end surface; and a plurality of gear teeth arranged circumferentially on the gear wheel and positioned between the first and second axial end surfaces; wherein the first axial end surface comprises a plurality of angularly spaced protrusions extending axially from the first axial end surface in a direction of a surface normal of the first axial end surface.
