A power transmission having a four-shaft double planetary gear (I, II), which is driven on the one hand via a turning gear (WG) and on the other via a variable-displacement gear (HG) and is connectable on the power take-off side via selectable ratio gears via controllable clutches (K1A-K7A) to a power take-off shaft (AW3) and is connectable on the power take-off side retroactively via two of the selectable ratio gears (G4, G5) by means of a startup clutch (K0B), as a result of which with the turning gear (WG) disengaged, a fully hydraulic startup range is provided, and the other gear ranges are mechanically-hydraulically split in terms of power when the turning gear is engaged. All the clutches are double claw clutches. The startup clutch has a special construction, with a sliding sleeve. The transmission is especially suitable for agricultural machines, because it is fully reversible. Other versions are shown.

Hydrostatic split-type power transmission

A power transmision with a hydrostatically branched variable-displacement gear (HG), a two-stage epicyclic gear (I, II) and a mechanical 8-speed transmission that can be operated in forward and reverse, and with a control system (ST) that triggers the clutches (VV, VR, V0-V8) of the mechanical gear means such that for starting, the variable-displacement gear (HG) is shifted unbranched to the output shaft (ASW) and the clutches are each shifted in a load-free manner, and only on shifting up to 6th gear via the clutch (K5) of the 5th gear and on downshifting to a selectable 4th gear via the 4th-gear clutch (K4) a synchronization of the intermediate shaft (ZW) is effected. Starting and reversing are done by hydrostatically; the efficiency is high; the mechanical transmission factor is approximately 60; synchronization wear is low; and there are only two synchronizing clutches (K4, K5). In a second specifiable operating mode, the mechanical gear means is controlled in a manner free of synchronization, as a 4-speed transmission with a hydrostatic starting and reversing range.
