SOUTHFIELD, Mich., May 23, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- The Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan (JSAE) exposition takes place
May 22-24, 2024 at the Pacifico
Yokohama in Japan, and Amsted
Automotive is displaying several advanced powertrain-enabling
technologies.
The Amsted-specific innovations include:
- Torque management systems using unique Amsted Controllable
Mechanical Diodes (CMD) and Mechanical Diodes (MD)
- Production Dynamic Controllable Clutch (DCC) and
Electro-Mechanical E-Axle Disconnect that enables seamless and
reliable AWD and 4WD shifting in EV applications
- Production 10-speed transmission featuring Amsted CMD
clutch technology
- An innovative wheel-end disconnect system designed for
commercial vehicle applications
The event is expected to draw more than 500 exhibitors and have
over 1,100 booths. Engineers from global auto companies can see the
Amsted technology and systems in booth #431.
The Amsted DCC and Electro-Mechanical E-Axle Disconnect have
been in production vehicles since 2021. This technology offers
significant advantages over dog-clutch style clutches including
smooth and consistent shifts without the possibility of blocked
shifts, simplified system controls and additional functionality.
Calibration is also easier, reducing engineering loads. It can also
improve EV driving range up to 10 percent.
Amsted clutch technology can also be found in prominent Japanese
automotive manufacturer's production vehicles. These systems use
Amsted CMD and MD technology, including a forward direction one-way
clutch for seamless shifts between First and Second gears, and
controllable reverse direction clutch for engine braking and
Reverse gear. This reduces drag and friction, and the system also
minimizes packaging space and mass.
Amsted's global business units provide expertise in product,
process, and manufacture, resulting in unmatched innovation and
performance. For further information about its Novel
Multi-Functional Clutch Technology for Seamless EV Driveline
Disconnect and Improved Efficiency, a white paper is available for
