摘要:
A torque transmitting device (10) includes a clutch housing (14) rotatable about an axis (A), a first set of clutch plates (20A) splined to the clutch housing (14), and a second set of clutch plates (20B) interleaved with the first set and rotatable about the axis (A) of rotation. A push plate assembly (28) is splined to the clutch housing (14) for rotation therewith. A roller assembly (42) includes a roller housing (48) splined to the clutch housing (14), a roller supporter (54) housed in the roller housing (48), and a roller element (62) supported by the roller supporter (54). A wedge assembly (12) includes a wedge housing (64) connected to a wedge block (24). The wedge housing (64) includes a ramp member (70) defining a ramp surface (16) with the roller element (62) contacting the ramp surface (16). A motion converter (71) is disposed between the push plate assembly (28) and the wedge housing (64) such that axial movement of the push plate assembly (28) causes rotation of the wedge assembly (12) relative to the roller assembly (42).
摘要:
An actuation system for actuating a clutch piston of a transmission includes an actuator and a lever. A first end of the lever is attached to the actuator. The lever is pivotable about a lever connection location. Movement of the actuator rotates the lever about the lever connection location. A spring assembly is pivotable about a spring connection location, and pivotably connected to the lever at a second end of the lever. When the actuator is disposed in an un-actuated position, the spring assembly is positioned such that a pre-loaded spring force is directed along a zero moment path to generate a zero moment in the lever. When the actuator is disposed in an actuated position, the spring assembly is rotated so that the spring force is directed along a moment generating path in order to generate a moment in the lever to rotate the lever.
