Abstract
A baulkring-type synchronizer ( ) includes multiple cone friction surfaces ( ) and jaw clutch spline teeth ( ) for frictionally synchronizing and positive connecting gears ( ) to a shaft ( ). Inner rings respectively define the friction surfaces ( ) and ramp surfaces ( ) that move a boost member radially outward to engage self-energizing surfaces ( and ) to provide additive self-energizing forces in response to limited rotation of the inner rings by synchronizing torque.
