Sentences with phrase «by planetary gears»

A further example of the technology spearhead role is an all - new double electric motor system driving both rear wheels, connected together by planetary gears.

The two power sources are joined by a planetary gear set that transmits the blended torque to an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (eCVT) and onward to the front wheels.

Not exact matches

Torque is divvied up by a compound planetary gearset; when slip is detected, an electronically controlled clutch increases or reduces the friction between the two ring gears to change the front - to - rear distribution.

Audi Q5 Audi's Quattro all - wheel drive is based on a torque - sensing center differential, with the bias controlled by two sets of planetary gears and several friction discs.

By now the Evo has a six - speed» box, Super-Active Yaw Control using a planetary gear set with a greater torque transfer capacity, and MIVEC variable valve timing.

Two planetary gear sets operated by two computer - controlled clutches help steer the vehicle by increasing the amount of torque delivered to one rear wheel.

Dual Clutch and Constantly Variable trannies don't operate like regular automatic trannies in that they don't (to my knowledge) operate by redirecting tranny fluid to lock and unlock planetary carriers; they don't even have planetary gears.

The planetary gearset is what's responsible for changing gear ratios, and it consists of a sun gear surrounded by smaller planet gears carried by a planet carrier enclosed in a ring gear.

The gear ratio is determined by the number of teeth on the smaller, planetary gears in ratio to the number of teeth on the larger, sun gear.

In addition to its motor - generator duties, the crucial MG1 adds two functions: One as a starter motor for the gas engine; and two, by regulating the amount of electrical power it generates (which varies its RPM), MG1 controls the output speed of the transaxle through the planetary gear set — without clutches or viscous couplings.

Chevrolet claims that thanks to the Malibu's two - mode system (basically two planetary gear sets switched between via a clutch), they're able to have the car performing well both around town and on the highway, by metering - out how fast the gas engine spins.

Polestar's test drivers focused specifically on Polestar 1's torque vectoring system, which is enabled by two rear electric motors with individual planetary gear sets.

Because the A-500 and A-518 were essentially made by adding lockup torque converters and an overdrive planetary gearset to the A-999, gear ratios were not optimal; they were not redesigned to match the torque curve and torque rise of the mated engine.

This is made possible by the addition of a planetary gear set and a multiple - plate clutch operated by an electric motor on both output sides of the rear differential.
