Dual clutch transmission with dry clutch and electro-mechanical actuation

Abstract

The existing PowerShift transmission portfolio by Getrag with wet dual clutch and electronically controlled hydraulic actuation is expanded by a new version with dual dry clutch and electro-mechanical actuation. The range of applications sums up front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, inline drive and longitudinal transaxle but now the new small transmission of the type 6DCT250 for front-wheel drives. The main characteristics of the new transmission, developed for worldwide applications with a torque capacity of up to 280 nm, are the clutch and shift actuation with very low auxiliary power need and an integrated mechatronic actuator module.
