["Reference Model"]
In-Wheel Type Integrated Motor Axle Unit
Hub bearings, deceleration gears and a motor are integrated to reduce the axial size, which is designed for electric and hybrid vehicles.
Performance
Unit mass: 20 kg
Rated output: 20 kW
Decelerator efficiency: Max. 94%
Motor revolution: Max. 15,000 rpm equivalent to vehicle speed of 150 km/h
Features and structure
-Adoption of cycloid deceleration mechanism provides for a high deceleration ratio and a reduced axial size.
-Adoption of an axial gap-type motor reduces the axial size.
-Use of rollers at the connecting point and adoption of counterweight improve efficiency of decelerators and rotation allowance.
New Type CVT (Monoring CVT)
A high performance CVT, which was designed by the company's own technology, has attracted a keen attention since its debut at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show.
Features and performance
-New mechanism in place of belt CVTs. It features simple structure and deceleration mechanism. Transmission efficiency is high in the range of constant use.
Technology for development
-A tooth ring is used instead of a metallic belt.
-It has a simple structure, and adjusts pushing pressure passively depending on load.
(Improvement in efficiency and life)
High Capability Tapered Roller Hub Bearing
-The number of roller bearings can be increased from 23 to 25 by sliding a roller retainer outward without changing a bore size.
-Calculated life is made longer by 20% and bearing rigidity is improved by 7%.
Current /New development
Tokyo Motor Show 2005
New type of one-way clutch with stator
- The sprag support structure by garter spring reduced the trailing torque by one fifth (vs.
the Company's product). The drawn-cup structure reduced number of part items from
5 to 3.
- Applicable for torque converter 1WC and transmission converter 1WC.
Mechanical lash adjuster
- Comparing to the conventional hydraulic type (HVA), shortening of height to shaft direction
by one half was achieved. Thus, this contributed to a compact design of engine.
- A splash lubrication of engine oil doesn't require any hydraulic supply compulsorily, nor
hydraulic supply circuit.
- No case of aeration and rare occurrence of valve lift loss when starting ignition under low
temperature.
New type CVT (Monoring CVT)
- CVT composed with toothed ring, V-pulley and output gear. Independent-teethed ring is
used as a torque transfer media.
- Comparing to other, this type requires less parts items and does not require any outer
control device.
Hub bearing with sensor for ABS and detection of rotational direction
- Built-in active ABS sensor with detection function of rotational direction. Improvement of
reliability due to the reduced assembly process and sealed sensor.
- Sensor with detection function of rotational direction: Able to detect vehicle's direction
(forward/backward)
- Active Sensor: Able to detect the wheel motion at the minimum level
- Free air-gap adjustment
- Applicable for drive-shaft wheel bearing
In-Wheel type integrated motor axle unit
- Compact and light weight unit realized by the combination of hub bearing, cycloid reduction gears and axial gap type motor.
- Adaptation of counter weight improved the efficiency of reduction gear and permissible
rotation.
- The counter weight reduced vibration caused by the imbalance of inertia force during high
speed driving.
- Applicable for electric and hybrid vehicles.
Minimize cross section thrust needle roller bearings
- The improvement of roller retainer made the world thinnest cross section of 1.0mm (half
than conventional one).
- Rigidity became three times as hard as the conventional retainer. And weight became less
by 25 %.
- Applicable for automatic transmission, CVT and air compressor.
Micro HL tapered roller bearing
- Under sever condition that would not form oil film, the durability became five time longer as the conventional one.
- Applicable for transmission and differential for vehicles.
High capacity tapered roller bearing
- Ultra long life and high stiffness were realized by the design of roller bearing with roller
retainer.
- Applicable for transmission and differential gear for passenger cars.
High angle low vibration PTJ
- Maximum operating angle at 30 degree. Available to install in SUV.
Compact low vibration EPTJ
- Reduced outer ring and outside diameter by 4 % and weight by 8 %. (vs. conventional
products)
Low idling vibration constant velocity joint
- Reduction of idling vibration by 20 %.
GEN4 hub joint (for rear drive axle)
- Integrated hub-bearing and constant velocity joint
- Detachable structure of out board joint and drive-shaft
- Cut weight by 420 g and upgraded rigidity by 22 % (vs. the Company's GEN3 type mounted
in L-class minivan)
- Preload adjustment free
