Mounting the output hub on a fixed planet carrier reduces centering diameter and bearing stress for smaller vehicle applications.
Projecting portions on strut engagement pieces reduce hydraulic piston stroke and prevent rotational collisions, enhancing durability.
An axial coupler spans the gap between transmission and final drive gears, enabling rapid mechanical disconnection without removing components from the vehicle.
A locking mechanism for tail rotor drive disconnect couplings uses a movable pin and resilient member to engage jaw members.
Axial annular element occupies radial slots to block pawl re-engagement, eliminating cyclic impacts that reduce component lifespan.
A multi-positional dog clutch system manages gear shifts via a movable carrier and sliding members.
A switchable three-mode clutch uses a ramp and pawl mechanism to enable locked, one-way, and freewheel rotational states.
Radial pins in a rotatable clutch housing disengage actuator sections under high axial loads, preventing jam-induced damage without adding weight.
A coupling assembly uses a ramp mechanism to actuate a brake against a rotating shaft.
A collar and coupler mechanism translates drive rotation into longitudinal motion to separate transmission components.
