The invention relates to an actuating apparatus that can be used, for example, as an actuating apparatus for a motor vehicle transmission, the select function and the shift function being guaranteed by this actuating apparatus and it being possible to effect this using exactly one electric motor, and it being possible, starting from an original gear, to alternatively engage at least three different target gears without it being necessary in between to shift into an intermediate gear.

A single motor transmission shifting mechanism with exactly one electric motor for generating drive motions for selecting, and for generating drive motions for shifting gears of a motor vehicle transmission device, and with a threaded spindle for switching from a mode, in which selection motions can be effectuated, into a mode, in which shifting motions can be effectuated, and with a shifting shaft, which can be moved in axial direction for selecting, and which can be rotated around its longitudinal axis for shifting, wherein all components, transferring the drive load for shifting from the electric motor to the shifting shaft during shifting operation, maintain their axial position relative to the longitudinal axis of the threaded spindle during this shifting operation.

An actuating device for a motor vehicle transmission having multiple transmission steps, having a threaded spindle which is mounted so it is rotationally movable and axially fixed and a spindle nut which is positioned on this threaded spindle and may be driven thereby, and also having a first component, which is positioned so it is axially fixed and rotatable to select gears of the motor vehicle transmission, which may be coupled and/or is coupled via a rotational carrier unit to the spindle nut, so that the first component may be driven to rotate by the threaded spindle via the spindle nut to select gears, a braking unit being provided to reduce and/or avoid axial position changes of the spindle nut caused by mass inertia as a result a braking procedures of the threaded spindle from a movement rotationally driving the first component; as well as a motor vehicle transmission unit, a motor vehicle drivetrain, and a method for reducing or avoiding control errors caused by mass inertia in the control of gear changing actions in a motor vehicle transmission.

A hydraulic valve including an inlet port for receiving a pressurized hydraulic fluid and an outlet port for expelling the hydraulic fluid. The valve also includes a displaceable spool for blocking and unblocking a flow path between the inlet and outlet ports, and a latching mechanism for displacing the spool in response to a pressure surge for the hydraulic fluid. The valve includes a first elastic element and a second elastic element, where the first elastic element urges the spool into a position blocking the flow path and the second elastic element urges the latching mechanism to displace the spool into a position out of the flow path. In an unlatched position of the latching mechanism, force from the second elastic element is transferred to the spool, and in a latched position of the latching mechanism, the spool is isolated from the second elastic element.

A transmission system without dynamic seals, specifically, an actuator for a vehicle transmission including a first rotating clutch pack engageable with a planetary gearset a first non-rotating actuator piston for engaging the clutch pack and a first bearing for isolating a first rotation of the clutch pack from the piston. A transmission system is provided using an electromechanical system for shifting the clutches, allowing a smaller pump only for lubrication of the transmission and the torque converter flow.

A hydraulic valve having a first fluid chamber hydraulically connected to a pressure source, a second fluid chamber hydraulically connected to a pressure operator, and a blocking member for controlling fluid flow between the first and second chambers. The blocking member substantially blocks fluid flow between the first and second chambers when a pressure of fluid in the first chamber is greater than a minimum pressure and less than a pressure of fluid in the second chamber. The blocking member is displaceable to enable fluid flow between the first and second chambers when the pressure of fluid in the first chamber is below the minimum pressure.
