    摘要: A vehicle transmission housing has first and second axle housings pivotably connected to opposite ends of the transmission housing and a stand-on platform may be connected to the assembly. A first gear train in the first axle housing drives a first axle having a first axis of rotation. A second gear train is disposed in the second axle housing drives a second axle having a second axis of rotation collinear with the first axis of rotation. The axle housings are both capable of pivoting about the transmission housing about a third axis that is parallel to the first and second axes. The first and second axle housings may also be separately rigidly or flexibly connected to one another. This assembly permits adjustment of the ground heights of the platform with respect to a vehicle frame.

    摘要: A hydraulic transaxle of the present invention includes an axle, a hydraulic static transmission (“HST”), a center case that has pair of oil passages for circulating the hydraulic oil between the hydraulic pump and the hydraulic motor, and a gear mechanism that transmits an output of the HST to the axle. A case supports the axle and accommodates the HST while also forming an oil reservoir. A hydraulic motor of the HST includes a motor shaft, a cylinder block with a plurality of cylinders fixed to the motor shaft, a plurality of pistons inserted into the cylinders, a fixed swash plate abutted by the plurality of pistons, and a fixed swash plate holder that supports the fixed swash plate with respect to the case. The motor shaft of the hydraulic motor is supported by the center case and the fixed swash plate holder.

    摘要: A hydraulic motor apparatus includes a motor housing engaged to an end cap having a first porting system and an adapter connected to an external surface of the end cap and having a second porting system. A filter may be attached to the adapter and connected to the second porting system and a pressure reducing valve in the adapter is connected to the second porting system. The assembly may also include a controller operatively connected to the pressure reducing valve and system sensors measuring parameters affected by the output of the hydraulic motor apparatus, whereby the pressure reducing valve is operatively controlled by the controller in response to input from the system sensors.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a hydro-mechanical transmission having two rotating groups that mount on a common shaft. At least one of the rotating groups operates as a variable displacement pump or motor. At least one of the rotating groups interacts with a torque transfer unit rotatable about the shaft axis relative to both the shaft and the rotating group. The torque transfer unit includes a valve plate, a swash plate and a torque output section that all rotate in unison with one another about the shaft axis relative to the shaft and the rotating group. The valve plate includes an inlet passage for inletting hydraulic fluid to the rotating group and an outlet passage for outletting hydraulic fluid from the rotating group.

    摘要: A fixed shaft of a hydraulic unit is provided including a body having a first end and a second opposite end. A first flange and a substantially identical second flange are integrally formed with the body of the shaft adjacent the second end. The second end of the body has an outer diameter of 0.990±0.005 inches (2.515±0127 cm). The first and second flange each have an axial length parallel to a longitudinal axis of the body of about 0.085±0.010 inches (0.216±0.0254 cm). The first and second flange having an outer diameter of 1.359 inches (3.452 cm). The first flange and the second flange are separated by from one another by a distance of about 0.3162 inches (0.8031 cm). The portion of the body between the first flange and the second flange has an outer diameter of about 1.2013 inches (3.051 cm).
