    摘要: A more efficient method for maintaining the hydraulic actuation of a selectively engageable torque transmitting device in a vehicle. The method includes generating a predetermined pressure level of a hydraulic fluid such as, for example, with a pump. The pressurized hydraulic fluid is transferred through an open valve and to a selectively engageable torque transmitting device such that the selectively engageable torque transmitting device is engaged. Thereafter, the valve is closed so that the predetermined pressure level of hydraulic fluid at the selectively engageable torque transmitting device remains relatively constant. Accordingly, the selectively engageable torque transmitting device remains engaged without continuously generating additional pressure such that the fuel economy of the vehicle is improved. A corresponding apparatus is also provided.

    摘要: A transmission includes a transmission case, which defines a generally cylindrical bore that is sufficiently configured to pilot a fastening block member therein. A generally annular groove is defined by the transmission case and is sufficiently dimensioned to receive a snap ring. The snap ring operates to limit the axial movement of the fastening block member with respect to the generally cylindrical bore. An extension housing having a hub portion is also provided. A flange portion extends generally radially outward from the hub portion. The flange portion defines at least one bore that is sufficiently configured to receive a threaded fastener. Similarly, the fastening block defines at least one threaded bore sufficiently axially aligned and configured such that the fastener can threadingly engage the fastening block to secure the extension housing with respect to the case.

    摘要: A transmission includes at least one planetary gear set having first, second and third members; a clutch pack connected to one of the members; and a rotatable housing member connected to another one of the members. A piston assembly is supported on the rotatable housing member and rotatable therewith. The piston assembly includes a thrust bearing operatively connected with an axially movable piston to receive an apply force from the piston, and a piston apply member positioned between the thrust bearing and the clutch pack for transmitting the apply force to the clutch pack. Fluid for applying the piston is carried through a stationary support member, through the rotatable housing member, and into the piston assembly.

    摘要: A torque-to-thrust apply mechanism for a torque-transmitting mechanism includes an input electric motor supplying torque to a first rotary to thrust ball and ramp mechanism which converts rotary motion to an apply force between an apply plate and a plurality of friction discs within a torque-transmitting mechanism. The mechanism also includes a second rotary-to-thrust mechanism which receives input rotation from the first apply member as a result of reaction torque. The rotation of the second mechanism results in additional thrust on the friction plates to amplify the apply force of the torque-to-thrust apply mechanism.

    摘要: A blind-mating rocket launcher connector and protection system having a connector, a floating connector member, a cam, a connector cover, and a linkage between the cam and connector cover whereby the connector may mate with a second connector when the cam is displaced despite misalignments between the first and second connector. For the preferred embodiment, the floating connector member has multiple degrees of freedom with a reduced diameter portion and a lengthwise key whereby the connector is capable of mating with an aerodynamic hood of a rocket. The preferred embodiment biases and closes the connector cover upon the connector prior to a plume of the rocket passes the connector whereby exposure of the connector to the deleterious effects of the plume are minimized.
