Abstract:
A method of controlling a drive train comprising an electric motor (12), a gearbox (1) and an internal combustion engine (13). The gearbox (1) is placed between the electric motor (12) and the internal combustion engine (13) in the drive train. The speed of the electric motor (12) is synchronized to the speed of the internal combustion engine (13) in order to shift the gearbox. The gearbox (1) is shifted between different operation modes by means of controlling the position of a dog clutch (6).
Abstract:
An electrical axle is provided. The electrical axle comprises an electrical motor (40) which is selectively connected to a differential (30) via a reduction gear (50) and a planetary gear set (60), said planetary gear set (60) having one input (66) and two outputs (64, 66), The electrical axle (20) further comprises a gear shift mechanism (70) configured to selectively connect a differential housing (32) to one of said outputs (66, 64).
Abstract:
A lubrication arrangement for a bevel gear unit, such as a final drive (10-19) or a power takeoff unit (PTU), in the drive line of a vehicle has an external oil reservoir (25) on the unit to be lubricated. From this reservoir oil channels (27, 28) in the housing (11) of the unit lead to areas in the unit in special need of oil supply, such as to pinion bearings (16, 17) and to the area of gear engagement between pinion (10) and crown wheel (12). There is also a return channel (30) in the housing (11) of the unit for returning oil thrown out by the crown wheel (12) against the inside of the housing to the reservoir (25).
Abstract:
A deaeration valve (1) for a hydraulic coupling, such as a hydraulic coupling for distributing torque in a vehicle, said valve (1) comprising a valve member (3) and a valve housing (2), the valve housing (2) supporting the valve member (3) for reciprocal movement between two closed end positions.
