Abstract:
A process for controlling a reversing gear having:one input shaft;one output shaft;at least one directional switching component for forward motion;at least one directional switching components for reverse motion; anda downstream load-switchable switching set with a downstream switching components allocated to one gear;the process comprising the step of:controlling the switching components via a regulating and control unit such that during a switching operation, in which one of the directional switching components takes part in the switching operation, at least one downstream switching component of the downstream switching set lying in the power flow and fully engaged at the beginning of a reversing operation is switched to a slip state under frictional load and simultaneously slips with the directional switching component, whereby any resulting frictional stress is distributed between the directional switching component taking part in the switching operation and the slipping downstream switching component, the thermal stress of said switching components of said reversing gear thus being reduced.
