Manual Transmission for SUV, VAN, and Pickup Truck >>Technical Information
<Features>
-Light Weight and Compact:
Optimized design and minimized waste by FEM analysis.
-Increase of acceptable input torque due to FEM analysis of case/shaft durability.
-Suitable for a variety of engines offering even smoother driving thanks to triple synchro-cone system.
-Installed on Suzuki's new diesel model for Europe "Escudo" as well as Nissan's "Caravan."
Formsprag overrunning clutch for A/T
<Point>
Sprag: It is made of bearing steel shaped inprecison measurement, transmits torque and makes contact overrun. Durable to high torque and highly abrasion resistant.
Retainer: It is made from a thin pressed plate, positions sprags on the peripheral side and holds them. Structure allows shorter axial direction.
Garter spring: It always works to let the sprags contact the outer and inner blades, is capable of engaging when loaded. Little drag torque is required to engage with the sprag instantly when loaded. Minimum torque is necessary during overrunning.
<Features>
-Roll over is prevented by protrusion shapes of neighboring sprags. >>Technical Information
-It is composed of only 3 parts, making it possible to reduce weight and size.
-Delivered to Nissan, Honda and Toyota through Jatco.
Part-time 4WD transfer Case for SUV and Pickup Truck
>>Technical Information
<Features>
-Because of perfect engaging design of cogwheels and high rigid case design, it has improved NVH and durability.
-The Shift speed is in high class on account of development of high-performance shift actuator.
-It is lighter compared with permissible torque because of the most suitable design of structural parts by CAE analysis.
-Installed on mid-size light trucks, including Nissan Frontier (called Navara in Europe) and Pathfinder.
Full-time 4WD Transfer Case for SUV and passenger Car
>>Technical Information
<Features>
-Optimized design thanks to CAD and CAE systems.
-Wet-type multiple disc clutch built into the transfer case for optimal torque distribution to front and rear wheels.
-Optimal shape design of the transfer case and NVH analysis have improved quietness.
Hydraulic Torque Splitter for Fill-time 4-wheel Drive 'AXC' >>Technical Information
<Features>
-The torque of front and rear wheels of a full-time 4WD vehicle is automatically and most efficiently distributed. The Auto Lockup Mechanism provides for easy driving even on rough roads.
-The Automatic Torque Variable Mechanism automatically switches the torque to be generated among three steps according to changes in vehicle speed.
-The Automatic Torque Constrain Mechanism constrains the generation of excessive torque, allowing for a smaller and lighter powertrain system.
-Installed on Nissan "Serena," "Wingroad," and Renault "Kangoo" and so on.

Unit for Hybrid System
■Motor/Generator Gear Box for Hybrid Truck (Reference Exhibit)
Combining gearbox with motor reduced weight and parts. The motor-shaft applied an open-type bearing to minimize friction at the bearing area, and thus improved fuel consumption. Also grinding the gear could contribute to betterment of gear durability. The Company jointly developed this solution with HITACHI Ltd. Now installed in ISUZU ELF, a hybrid truck.
>>Technical Report
■Gear Box for Capacitor Hybrid Truck
This gearbox withstands high revolution speeds and is suitable for low-noise capacity hybrid truck. Installed in NISSAN Diesel Capacitor Hybrid.
>>Technical Report
Transfer Case
■Part-time 4WD Transfer Case for Pickup Truck & SUV
Because of the perfect engage design of cogwheels or chains and high stiffness case design, it is superior in ability of low noise or shock and drivability.
>>Technical Report
■Full-time 4WD Transfer Case for SUV and Passenger Car
Delivers the rigid axle 4wheels drive type performance with the comfortable handling of a 2 wheels drive vehicle.
>>Technical Report
■Cam type L.S.D. and Actuator embedded Transfer case
Thanks to the center-differential-type full-time 4WD system with the part-time system and the cam-type LSD, this transfer enables full-time 4WD driving.
