Mechanical Hydraulic Pump - Generation 4 Couplings - Vehicles from 2009MY
The Generati on 4 coupl ing does not us e the swas h pl at e t o mechanical ly rais e hydrauli c pres s ure; ins tead, a new hydraul icpump i s used to generat e hydrauli c pres sure and force the cl utch plat es toget her. The removal of t he s was h plat e all ows alarger overal l cl ut ch plat e s urface area, whi ch in t urn reduces t he hydrauli c pres sure requi rement. The press ure required toachi eve 1500Nm (1106 l b ft ) has been reduced from 100 Bar for Generat ion 3 coupli ngs to 40 Bar for Generati on 4coupl ings.
The posi ti oni ng of the Generat ion 4 coupl ing's i nput and output remains t he s ame as t he Generati on 3 coupl ing, asdescribed above.
By-pass Valve
On very low fricti on s urfaces, driveli ne drag t orque can occur, for exampl e:
revers e t orque from engi ne braking, orforced movement of t he dri ves haft by t he front wheel s .
This can i nfluence rear wheel s peed, maki ng it i mpos si ble t o determine the t rue fricti on capabil it y of the rear wheel s, bydis t orti ng t he wheel s peed s ignal. To prevent thi s, t he acti ve on-demand coupli ng is des i gned t o open i mmediat el y inres ponse to a s tabil it y cont rol event . This i s achi eved by a by-pass val ve ins tant ly reducing sys tem pres s ure t o nomi nal .
To balance the 4 bar bas e press ure (s ee below for detai ls ), t he Generati on 3 coupling us es a large Bel levill e s pri ng to forcet he cl utch plat es clear of each ot her t o prevent torque transmis si on t hrough the coupli ng. Even at 0°C, t orque t rans mis s ionis reduced from 300 Nm to Zero wi thi n 10 ms . The Generat ion 4 coupling however, does not require a Bel lvil le s pri ng t os eparate t he plat es as t he coupli ng does not have a si gni fi cant bas e pres s ure pus hi ng t he plates together.
Accumulator
The further t he cl utch pl at es have to move in order to contact each other, t he longer it t akes to di spl ace the hydrauli c fl uidneces s ary t o buil d pres s ure and t rans mit torque. To count er thi s, t he Generati on 3 coupling incorporates an accumulat or.This retains a nominal 4 bar pres sure wi thin the hydraul ic circui t. Al though thi s is not enough pres sure t o caus e s i gni fi cantt orque transmis s ion t hrough the coupli ng, i t forces t he plat es very clos e t oget her so that very l it tl e fluid di s pl acement i srequired t o achi eve full engagement and maxi mum t orque t rans fer. Ful l torque t rans miss i on can be achieved i n 150 ms .
On Generat ion 4 coupli ngs , t he 150ms act ivat ion t ime is achieved through the us e of a Bel lvil le s pri ng t hat acts to pus ht he plates t ogether (wi thout caus i ng si gnifi cant t orque t rans mis s ion t hrough t he coupl ing). As t he pump i s notcont inuousl y us ed to create t his bas e pres s ure (as i t was wit h Generat ion 3 coupli ng), improvement s i n fuel economy havebeen achi eved.

The clutch pack is made up of 7 pairs of plat es ; t he inner dis cs are produced from hardened st eel wit h t he out er dis csmanufactured from s t eel wi th a s int ered face. The clutch pl ates operat e in trans mi s si on fl uid.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Generation 3 Couplings - up to 2009MY
An i nt ernal electroni cal ly-controll ed pump provides hydrauli c pre-charge pres sure wit hin the coupling. The pre-chargepres s ure s upplies t he requi red operat ing pres s ure to the clut ch plates to el imi nat e i nit ial wheel -s pin as the vehicleaccelerates from s tandst il l.
In conjunct ion wi th the pre-charge pres s ure a mechanical hydraul ic pump operates wi thi n the cl utch plat es to s upply thecoupl ing's mai n hydraulic operat ing pres sure. The mechanical pump is funct ioned by the 'i nput ' and 'output' of t he coupli ng:
input - dri ves haft connect ion from the front axle,output - different ial connecti on to the rear axl e.
Any s peed di fference bet ween t he front and rear axl es wil l st art t he operat ion of t he mechanical hydraul ic pump. Theamount of hydrauli c pres s ure appli ed to the cl ut ch pack by the pump det ermines the gap bet ween t he cl utch plat es. Forexampl e, the great er the hydraul ic pres s ure, t he s maller t he gap between t he plat es and s ubs equent ly t he great er thet orque transmit ted t hrough t he coupli ng from the front axle t o t he rear axle.
This mai n hydrauli c pres sure is des i gned t o t rans mit the t orque for tract ion demands of off-road drivi ng, and t o provi delock-up as requi red.
