Abstract:
Apparatus for driving a planetary transmission (10) in reverse and low gear comprising:an input shaft (36);an input planetary assembly (52) in rotational communication with said input shaft (36), said input planetary assembly (52) including a sun gear (54), a pinion gear (56), a ring gear (58), and a carrier assembly (60);a reverse clutch (62) in rotational communication with said input planetary assembly (52) to drive said transmission (10) in reverse;a forward clutch (72) in rotational communication with said input planetary assembly (52) to drive said transmission (10) in forward;a reversible one-way clutch (90) in communication with said reverse clutch (62) and said forward clutch (72); andan actuator (124) to connect said reversible one-way clutch (90) with either said reverse clutch (62) or said forward clutch (72) to drive the planetary transmission (10) in either reverse gear or forward.
