The hybrid system's unique feature is
a hydraulic clutch between the engine and motor that disengages the engine so it can shut down under light loads.
Not exact matches
The auto trans is using
hydraulic clutches to keep the engine in the highest torque / power band and changes rapidly
between the gears - why there are now 5,6 or 7 speeds available also cvt (constant variable transmission).
The all - wheel drive system is controlled by a set of electro -
hydraulic clutches that vary torque
between both axles according to both the conditions and driver mode selected.
Changes up or down through the gears are handled by this
hydraulic clutch, which is essentially a fluid, spun at speed, that makes the connection
between engine and gearbox.
* 2: ACD (Active Center Differential) The Active Center Differential uses an electronically - controlled
hydraulic multi-plate
clutch to optimize front / rear wheel torque split and thereby produce the best balance
between traction and steering response.
Based on this data, BorgWarner's patented lightweight centrifugal electro -
hydraulic (CEH) actuator distributes the required torque
between the two axles by compressing the
clutch pack, allowing the AWD transfer case to deliver pre-emptive and precise linear
clutch actuation for immediate response, enhanced vehicle traction and stability control.
In automatic models the torque distribution
between the front and rear axles is controlled electronically by a
hydraulic transfer
clutch.
Using an electronically controlled
hydraulic clutch, the AWD system distributes drive
between the front and rear wheels to ensure the best possible road grip in all situations.
