Abstract:
A "Z" type power transmission including a steerable housing having a propeller shaft exiting therefrom. The steerable housing is mounted to a drive housing in a manner which allows rotational motion relative to the drive housing. The drive housing receives the drive shaft and steering control from the vessel and is arranged for selective vertical pivotal movement about the axis of the drive shaft to elevate the transmission. Drive force transmission between the steerable and drive housings is accomplished by use of coaxial shafts. Steering torque is provided to the drive housing along the same axis as the drive shaft so as to maintain both drive and steering torque during elevation of the unit.
Abstract:
A transmission system (12) for a vehicle has a differential assembly with a pair of output shafts (18) connected to front and rear differentials, or wheels, respectively of the vehicle. A control unit (26) is provided to control the slip of each output shaft (18) relative to the rotational speed of the differential assembly, each control unit being overdriven at the maximum allowable speed of the output shafts (18) relative to the differential assembly. Each control unit (26) has a sliding gear (30) engaged on a control shaft (24) and is engageable with teeth (33) on the ends of the housing (31) of the control unit to releasably lock the output shaft (18) to the control unit (26).
Abstract:
A nondifferentiating rear axle gear for vehicles which includes a cylindrical driving gear attached to the drive shaft of the vehicle which meshes with two side gears, each non-rotatably attached to independent axles. One side gear is driven at one end of the cylindrical gear, and the other side gear is driven at the other end of the cylindrical gear. The side gears being angled with respect to the axis of the cylindrical gear.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a differential gear to be mounted on a vehicle, including a pair of side gears, at least two pinion gears meshed with the side gears, and a differential case that houses the side gears and the at least two pinion gears. Lubricating oil is supplied to and discharged from the inside of the differential case via an opening portion. The differential case includes at least two seat surfaces formed on the inner peripheral surface of the differential case so as to support the pinion gears, weir portions provided between the adjacent seat surfaces and extending in a direction along the rotational direction of the differential case to connect between the adjacent seat surfaces, and an oil reservoir portion formed on the inner peripheral surface by the weir portions so as to be positioned on the opposite side, in the axial direction of the side gears, of the opening portion from the weir portions. Consequently, it is possible to render the differential gear compact by suppressing a shortage of lubricating oil for a sliding portion well.
Abstract:
A powertrain for a motor vehicle, with a differential planetary gear system, which has at least one ring gear with ring gear toothing, at least one sun gear with sun gear toothing, planetary gears which engage with the ring gear toothing on one side and with the sun gear toothing on the other side, and a planetary gear carrier, on which the planetary gears are rotatably mounted. The ring gear toothing and the sun gear toothing have the same number of respective gear wheel teeth.
Abstract:
A differential device is provided with: an input member; a gear set with output gears to transmit torque from the input member to the output gears while allowing differential motion therebetween; a first clutch for limiting the differential motion; a first pressure pressing on the first clutch; a first cam mechanism for pressing the first pressure plate toward the first clutch; a second clutch, when connected, drivingly connecting the output gears with the input member; a second pressure plate for engaging the second clutch; and a rotatable driver disk including a pressing member so coupled with the cam mechanism as to, from a first position to a second position, rotate the first cam mechanism together and to, from the second position to a third position, allow the first cam mechanism to create rotational difference relative to the pressing member, thereby engaging the second clutch.
