Abstract:

A clutch assembly for a transmission of an agricultural work vehicle. The clutch assembly includes a housing, a clutch pack located within the housing, a piston chamber located within the housing, and a multipart piston located within and slidable relative to the piston chamber. The multipart piston is operably connected to the clutch pack for engaging and disengaging the clutch pack. The multipart piston includes a lower piston extension part. The clutch assembly further includes a balance chamber that is located within the housing. The lower boundary wall of the balance chamber and the lower boundary wall of the piston chamber are radially separated from one another by a substantial distance. The lower piston extension part is located within the balance chamber for adding to a collective surface area of the balance chamber.

Abstract:

A sealing system includes a shaft seal plate, a seal guide having a tab, and a shaft seal coupled to the seal guide. A guide slot is formed in the shaft seal plate, and the tab extends into the guide slot. The shaft seal is configured to form and substantially maintain a seal at an axle bar as the axle bar rotates and pivots. The seal guide is configured to translate relative to the shaft seal plate as the axle bar pivots, and the tab is configured to block a rotation of the seal guide and the shaft seal relative to the shaft seal plate as the axle bar rotates.

International Classification:

B62D 5/12

Abstract:

A hydraulic steering system of a work vehicle includes a hydraulic cylinder assembly configured to receive hydraulic fluid. The hydraulic cylinder assembly includes a hydraulic cylinder and a shaft assembly disposed within the hydraulic cylinder. The shaft assembly includes a first shaft part extending within the hydraulic cylinder and having a first piston integrally formed thereon and also includes a second shaft part extending within the hydraulic cylinder and having a second piston. The hydraulic cylinder assembly also includes a plurality of sealing members configured to extend radially between the hydraulic cylinder and the shaft assembly to separate the hydraulic cylinder into a first chamber supporting the first piston and a second chamber supporting the second piston. The first chamber and the second chamber are fluidly isolated from each other.

B62D 49/00

Abstract:

An axle assembly for a work vehicle may generally include a hub, a casing at least partially received within the hub, and a shaft configured to be received within the casing. The hub defines a tapered inner surface and the casing defines a tapered outer surface. The tapered inner surface of the hub defines a first keyway portion defining a first keyway surface, and the tapered outer surface of the casing defines a second keyway portion defining a second keyway surface. The tapered surfaces of the hub and the casing together define a tapered interface and a keyway. The first and second keyway surfaces of the keyway extend in a direction non-parallel to the tapered interface.
