Power Flow During Forward Travel, Function - GF27.10-P-3035ANE

Transmission 725.0 in model 463 

Function requirements, general 

Power flow with forward travel, general 

The term "power flow" refers to the transmission paths of driving power and engine torques. The engine torques are transferred to the drive wheels through the mechanical-hydraulic connection of the combustion engine, torque converter (transmission 725.035) or the wet clutch (transmission 725.085) to the downstream automatic transmission and differential.

Transmission 725.035 

Transmission 725 085 

The gearwheels of the individual planetary gear sets forward the torques from the torque converter (transmission 725.035) or the wet clutch (transmission 725.085), depending on the transmission ratio involved and the actuated shift elements, with the aid of multiplate clutches and multidisk brakes to the output shaft.

A reduction of the output speed in the low gears provides lower vehicle speeds with high tractive forces and increased drive torque at the drive wheels.

Power flow in 1st gear, shown on transmission 725.035 

1st gear power flow 

The following multidisk brakes and multidisk clutches are engaged:

In 1st gear, the power flows through the following gear sets:

The sun gear (1) of planetary gear set (P1) is part of the drive shaft (18) and is driven by this. The planet carrier (8) of planetary gear set (P1) is connected to the ring gear (3) of planetary gear set (P2) via the multidisk clutch (E). The multidisk brake (B) brakes the sun gear (5) of planetary gear set (P2). As a result, the torque increases and the rotational speed is decreased. The ring gear (3) of planetary gear set (P2) has a mechanical connection to the sun gear (1) of planetary gear set (P3). The planetary gears roll in the ring gear (6), stalled by the multidisk brake (C), of planetary gear set (P3) and the planet carrier (2) of planetary gear set (P3) transmits the thereby increased torque and reduced rotational speed to the output shaft (19). As a result, the output shaft (19) rotates at a reduced input speed in the direction of engine rotation.
