A filtering pulley has a hub configured to be fixed to a shaft for rotation thereabout, a crown mounted coaxial and rotationally free on the hub, and a plurality of elastic groups arranged circumferentially with respect to the hub and to the crown and interposed, each, between a pair of first elements integral with the hub and between a pair of second elements integral with the crown. The first elements have at least two spokes, carried by an actuator that is made of two portions that can be selectively coupled based on angular position data between the crown and the hub and/or based on data of torque transmitted between the different elements of the system comprising this pulley.

Filtering pulley, system comprising such pulley and related control method

A transmission module for a hybrid drive vehicle has a tray-like support structure adapted to be fixed to an internal combustion engine and defining a housing for a decoupling clutch, a first power port for connection to an output member of the decoupling clutch, a second power port for connection to an electric machine, and a module transmission having respective transmission members associated with the power ports, and transmission means connecting the transmission members to each other. The power ports are configured so as to be couplable with respective rotating members of the decoupling clutch and of the electric machine by means of respective axially sliding couplings.

Filtering pulley

A transmission module for a hybrid drive vehicle configured to be interposed between an internal combustion engine and a transmission of the vehicle has a tray-like support structure configured to be secured to the engine and defines a housing for a clutch to be interposed between a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine and the module. An actuator controls the clutch. The actuator includes an annular chamber provided in the support structure and opens toward the housing, and an annular piston housed in the annular chamber is axially sliding but angularly fixed. A thrust member is coupled in a rotationally free manner to the annular piston, coaxial thereto and operable to cooperate with a control member of the clutch under the thrust of the piston.

Transmission module provided with a hydraulic actuator

A pulley unit has a hub configured to be connected to a crankshaft, a pulley coaxial to the hub and supported in a rotationally free manner with respect thereto, a clutch interposed between the hub and the pulley, and an actuator for controlling the clutch, The clutch has an inner disc rotationally coupled to the hub and an engagement portion housed inside the pulley, a mobile member axially movable between an engagement position in which the mobile member rotationally couples the pulley to the engagement portion of the inner disc and a disengagement position in which the pulley is rotationally free with respect to the inner disc, and an elastic element acting on the mobile member to push it towards the engagement position.

Pulley for a motor vehicle engine

A transmission module for a hybrid drive vehicle adapted to be interposed between an internal combustion engine and a vehicle transmission has a tray-like support structure defining a housing for a decoupling clutch and adapted to be fixed to the internal combustion engine. A module drive is carried by the support structure and has a first transmission member adapted to be connected to the decoupling clutch by means of a torsional vibration damper and has a second transmission member adapted to be connected to an electric machine. The torsional vibration damper has an actuator defining a centering with respect to the crankshaft and to a transmission torque converter and has a seat for a support bearing with respect to the support structure.

Filtering pulleys have a hub adapted to be fixed to a rotating shaft, a ring assembled coaxial and rotationally free on the hub, and an elastic assembly arranged circumferentially with respect to the hub and the ring and interposed between a pair of first elements integral with the hub and between a pair of second elements integral with the ring. The elastic assembly includes an elastic element having a progressive rigidity increasing starting from a predetermined threshold value of the angle of relative rotation between the hub and the ring.

A filtering pulley assembly for an accessory drive of a vehicle has a hub fixedly attachable to a rotating shaft, a pulley mounted coaxial and freely rotating on said hub, an actuator disc carried by the hub, a plurality of elastic assemblies interposed between the pulley and the actuator disc, and a torque limiting coupling configured to rotationally connect the actuator disc to the hub, when the torque is below a predetermined threshold value, and to decouple the actuator disc from the hub, when the torque is above the threshold value.

Filtering pulley assembly for a belt drive

A filtering pulley having a hub adapted to be fixed to a rotating shaft, a pulley ring mounted coaxial and rotationally free on said hub, and at least one elastic assembly interposed between the hub and the pulley ring and a damper for damping the relative oscillations between the hub and the pulley ring is disclosed. The damper has a first damping level for relative rotations between the hub and the pulley ring which are smaller than a predetermined angle and a second damping level, which is greater than the first level, for relative rotations between the hub and the pulley ring which are larger than the predetermined angle.

Filtering pulley comprising an improved damping device

A filtering pulley having a hub adapted to be fixed to a rotating shaft, a pulley ring mounted coaxial and rotationally free on the hub, and a plurality of elastic assemblies arranged circumferentially with respect to the hub and the pulley ring and each interposed between a pair of first elements integral with the hub and between a pair of second elements integral with the pulley ring is disclosed. Each elastic element forms with the first elements and with the second elements respective angular clearances, and the pulley ring and the hub have a free angle of relative rotation equal to the sum of the above-mentioned angular clearances.
