Wedge Fork Clutch Actuator For Driveline Clutches

View page
US Patent:
6766889, Jul 27, 2004
Filed:
Feb 11, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/364865
Inventors:
Dale L. Pennycuff - Shelby Township MI
Assignee:
New Venture Gear, Inc. - Troy MI
International Classification:
B60K 1734
US Classification:
192 35, 192 7023, 192 82 P, 192 846, 192 93 R, 180249
Abstract:
A torque transfer mechanism is provided for controlling the magnitude of a clutch engagement force exerted on a multi-plate clutch assembly that is operably disposed between a first rotary and a second rotary member. The torque transfer mechanism includes a clutch actuator for generating and applying a clutch engagement force on the clutch assembly. The clutch actuator includes a wedge fork having a gear rack segment and a tapered tang segment and a reaction block defining a tapered edge in sliding engagement with the tapered tang segment. An electric motor drives a pinion that is meshed with the gear rack to cause bi-directional linear movement of the wedge fork which causes corresponding sliding movement of the reaction block relative to the clutch assembly.

Transfer Case With Multi-Gear Transfer Mechanism

US Patent:
6931964, Aug 23, 2005
Filed:
Jan 12, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/755957
Inventors:
Gareth Thomas - Banbury Oxfordshire, GB
Paul Cowsill - Redditch, GB
Thomas C. Bowen - Rochester Hills MI, US
Dale L. Pennycuff - Shelby Township MI, US
Malcolm E. Kirkwood - Livonia MI, US
John D. Zalewski - Liverpool NY, US
Assignee:
Magna Drivetrain of America, Inc. - Troy MI
International Classification:
F16H037/06
US Classification:
74665GA, 74413, 74421 A
Abstract:
A transfer case is provided and includes a first output shaft driven by a powertrain and operably interconnected with a first pair of wheels, a second output shaft selectively driven by the first output shaft and operably interconnected with a second pair of wheels and a transfer gear assembly operably disposed between the first output shaft and the second output shaft for transferring drive torque from the first output shaft to the second output shaft. The transfer gear assembly includes a first transfer gear in selective drive connection with the first output shaft, a second transfer gear in meshed engagement with the first transfer gear, a third transfer gear in drive connection with the second transfer gear and the second output shaft. A clutch pack is operably disposed between the first output shaft and the first transfer gear for selectively establishing drive connection therebetween.

US Patent:
7004874, Feb 28, 2006
Filed:
Mar 15, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/800468
Inventors:
Richard Mizon - Fayetteville NY, US
Dale L. Pennycuff - Shelby Township MI, US
Assignee:
Magna Powertrain, Inc. - Troy MI
International Classification:
F16H 37/08
F16H 3/44
F16D 41/06
US Classification:
475198, 475204, 475206, 475295, 475318, 192 38
Abstract:
An on-demand power take-off unit is equipped with a dual-mode bi-directional overrunning clutch and a shift mechanism to establish on-demand and part-time four-wheel drive modes. Further, the power take-off unit includes a disconnect clutch that is controlled by the mode shift mechanism to establish a two-wheel drive mode in addition to the four-wheel drive modes.
