Transmissions
This electronically managed system uses shifting and braking to control hill descents
What is an electronic retarder?
This lower drivetrain component receives power from the transfer gears, turning it 90 degrees
What is the Bevel Gear Set?
This Helical gear variation is useful for heavier loads, but compensates for Thrusting forces
What Herringbone Gears (Double-Helical)?
In a differential steer system, this component is driven by hydraulic oil and is splined into the differential bevel gear
What is a Hydraulic Motor?
The scavenge pump is typically this type of pump
What is a gear pump?
In a hydraulic clutch, the friction disks are spring applied, but released by this mechanism
What are springs?
A small amount of clearance between gear teeth to allow for lubrication and smooth operation
What is Backlash?
This type of gear set can convert straight-line motion into rotary motion
What is a Rack and Pinion Set
This component in an electric drive system, converts AC Generator output to DC electrical output to the ECM
What is the Power Inverter?
This pump component keeps the piston slippers down on the surface of the swashplate
What is the Retraction Plate
This type of Transmission allows smooth shifting under load with NO loss of Productivity
What is Powershift?
This component is driven by the differential case and provides for the mounting of the spider gears
What is the spider?
This torque converter component limits the maximum pressure inside the coupling
What is the Converter Inlet valve?
This procedure helps ensure smooth, timely gear shifts without harsh engagement, and is typically considered routine maintenance
What is a Transmission Fill Calibration?
Each propel pump has two relief valves, one for this, and the other for that
What is Forward and Reverse?
This transmission uses a PWM signal to control multiple clutch engagements.
What Is Electronic Clutch Pressure Controlled (ECPC)?
This type of differential provides equal power to both wheels, until ground conditions causes a variance in traction
What is a Limited Slip Differential?
If the planetary carrier group is held, the sun gear and ring gear are allowed to rotate, creating this condition
What is Reverse?
This type of valve makes gear selection dependent on the shift lever position only
What is an Individual Clutch Modulation (ICM) valve?
This torque converter component causes the output shaft to turn when oil is forced against it blades
What is the Turbine?
This transmission uses a Variator to control motor speed
What is a CVT Transmission?
This gear set is used to transmit rotation from one shaft to the next, 90 degrees, with a large reduction in speed
What is a Worm gear?
This component allows the stator to turn freely when torque multiplication is not required
What is a one-way clutch?
(Torque x RPM) divided by 5252
What is horsepower?
Under this machine condition, do not approach 50ft from the front or rear, and 1500 ft from the sides?
What are hot brakes or Tires?
