Clutches, Torque Converters and Dampers - Linking the engine and transmission in new drivetrain concepts Dr.-Ing. Wolfgang Reik LuK GmbH Co. oHG, Bühl Types of transmissions For decades, the world of transmissions was quite simple: there were either manual transmissions or torque converter transmissions. The further developments within these groups were predominantly related to providing a greater number of gears. In recent years, however, the picture has changed drastically (Figure 1). manualmanualmanual transmissiontransmissiontransmission automatedautomatedautomatedautomated manualmanualmanualmanual gearboxgearboxgearboxgearbox double clutchdouble clutchdouble clutchdouble clutch transmissiontransmissiontransmissiontransmission automaticautomaticautomatic planetaryplanetaryplanetary geargeargear setsetset PriusPriusPrius HybridHybridHybrid continuouslycontinuouslycontinuously variable transmissionvariable transmissionvariable transmission continuouslycontinuouslycontinuously variable transmissionvariable transmissionvariable transmission (belt, chain)(belt, chain)(belt, chain) (Half / Full Toroid) Geared(Half / Full Toroid) Geared(Half / Full Toroid) Geared NeutralNeutralNeutral Fig. 1 Various transmission types First of all, CVT transmissions entered the market and have achieved their highest level of popularity in Asia. Then came the first wet double clutch transmissions, which will be followed in the near future by dry double clutches since there is a demand for their higher efficiency. Work is also progressing on a large number of hybrid concepts. In one group, the hybrid function can be seen almost as an add-on to one of the existing transmission concepts. The structure o
