A fluid arrangement for controlling a transmission of a motor vehicle in a hydraulic circuit is disclosed. The fluid arrangement includes a dual clutch including a first sub-clutch and a second sub-clutch, wherein the first sub-clutch is configured to be actuated via a first reversing pump actuator and the second sub-clutch is configured to be actuated via a second reversing pump actuator. The first and second reversing pump actuators each have a first delivery direction and a second delivery direction for delivering a working fluid in the hydraulic circuit. A first gear ratio mechanism with a variable gear ratio for actuating the dual clutch is configured to be actuated via the first delivery direction of the first and second reversing pump actuators a and a second gear ratio mechanism with a variable gear ratio for actuating a consumer arrangement is configured to be actuated via the second delivery direction.

Fluid assembly

The disclosure relates to an actuator having a planetary roller screw drive comprising a housing having a cylinder chamber and a fluid reservoir forming one common volume and the housing is filled with a hydraulic fluid. The planetary roller screw drive comprises a spindle having a profiling, which meshes with a plurality of planetary rollers, which are arranged around the spindle and are supported at both ends in a planetary roller carrier. The planetary rollers mesh with an inner profiling of an internal ring gear surrounding the planetary rollers and the planetary rollers are supported in a sleeve surrounding the internal ring gear. According to the disclosure, the planetary roller carrier and/or the sleeve comprise one or more flow ducts connecting the interior and the exterior of a chamber defined radially by the sleeve and axially by the planetary roller carriers to one another.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a component group with a friction device with at least two components that are rotatable relative to one another, in particular for actuating a clutch of a vehicle, wherein a coil spring influencing the degree of efficiency, the friction is disposed between the components that are rotatable relative to one another and wherein the component group with a friction device is integrated in a transmission or an actuator, or both.

Component group with a frictional device

An actuation device especially for actuating a transmission for selecting a gear step and engaging and disengaging the selected gear step and/or for actuating at least one clutch. The actuation device includes at least one rotatable roll element that has guide tracks, into each of which a contact element of a selector fork engages to move the selector fork in order to select and engage or disengage a gear step of a transmission, and an actuation region for a clutch actuation means for actuating the at least one clutch.

Actuating device and transmission

A switchable free-wheel arrangement for a CVT transmission of a motor vehicle. Clamping bodies held in a cage are disposed between an outer ring and an inner ring. Each clamping body can be pressed with a relatively high force against the inner ring by an energy accumulator. The clamping bodies can be set up in the release direction or in the clamping direction by a switching mechanism. The energy accumulator generates a relative small setup force for setting up the clamping bodies. The energy accumulator includes two torsion springs disposed on the clamping body. It can, however, also have the shape of a helical spring that surrounds the clamping bodies and engages therein in special helical spring grooves.

A switchable free-wheel device for a transmission for a crank-driven CVT of a motor vehicle. The device includes at least one free-wheel unit with a drivable outer ring, an inner ring in the form of an output shaft, and clamping bodies disposed between the rings and rotatable about their longitudinal axes. In the axial direction, each of the clamping bodies includes first and second grooves that are axially spaced from each other and offset relative to each other in the peripheral direction of the clamping body. Annular worm springs surrounding the clamping bodies are displaceable in the axial direction of the body by a switching mechanism, such that the springs engage either in the first groove or in the second groove. The clamping body rotates about its longitudinal axis such that the force applied by the worm spring runs on a side of the longitudinal axis.

An adjusting device including a CVT planetary roller transmission having two axially-spaced sun wheels that are rotatable about a common axis of rotation and at different speeds of rotation. Planet wheels contact and ride against peripheral surfaces of each of the sun wheels, and an axially displaceable ring wheel lies radially outwardly of the sun wheels and engages a peripheral groove formed in the sun wheels. When the ring wheel is axially displaced relative to the sun wheels the axes of rotation of the planet wheels tilt relative to the sun wheel axis resulting in a difference in the rotational speed of the sun wheels changes. The device can be employed as an adjusting device for adjusting the rotational speed of connected units, and also as a drive line component having a variable transmission ratio and situated in a power train of a motor vehicle.

An electromagnetic friction clutch has at least two clutch parts that are mounted so as to be rotatable relative to each other and movable toward and away from each other and that touch each other with a contact force in the position of use. The clutch parts are located in a magnetic circuit, which is guided in the clutch parts in a soft magnetic material in sheet form. Positioned in the magnetic circuit is an electromagnet having a soft magnetic core and a coil. The magnetic circuit has air gaps between the soft magnetic core and at least one of the clutch parts. The flux density in the magnetic circuit, and thus the contact force, is modifiable via the current applied to the coil. The magnetic flux changes at least ten flux crossover points one after the other in the direction of flow between the clutch parts. The cross section of the magnetic flux in at least one air gap is at least five times greater than the smallest flux cross section in the soft magnetic material.
