ZF 8HP - Cambio automatico generazione 2015
nella discussione ha aggiunto dindi in Innovazione Meccanica
Fonte : www.enginetechnologyinternational.com New generation ZF 8-Speed AT launches in the BMW 5 Series Increased ride comfort and dynamics, combined with greater potential savings in terms of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions: these advantages have characterized ZF’s successful 8HP 8-speed automatic transmission since it started production in 2009. These advantages are now even more pronounced in the second generation of the 8HP, which, since July 2014, has been in volume production in the BMW 520d. The new 8HP offers comprehensive developments that range from lower drag torques and higher spread through to improved torsional vibration absorption. Gradually, the new 8-speed automatic transmissions from ZF will be deployed in further models, and with many automotive manufacturers worldwide. "Our longstanding customer BMW is impressively demonstrating how to successfully make vehicles more efficient yet more dynamic at the same time," says Jürgen Greiner, head of passenger car transmission development at ZF. "Therefore, we are particularly delighted that the premium manufacturer is the first OEM to rely on the second generation of our 8-speed automatic transmission, which, when it comes to these criteria, is also ground-breaking. Through many further developments, we have made the 8HP significantly more efficient compared to the predecessor transmission – up to 3% in total.” The 8HP50 version of the new transmission – designed for torques of up to 500Nm – entered volume production at the start of July in the 520d. In the future, the 8HP75 will be part of the ZF portfolio for drives with torques of up to 750Nm. Gradually, all automotive manufacturers to whom ZF has already supplied the 8HP (the number of individual vehicle applications currently stands at over 1,000) will utilize the latest generation of the 8-speed automatic transmission. The new 8-speed automatic transmission combines many technological advances. Above all, ZF has further optimized the new transmission generation for the requirements of modern engine technology. This is due to the fact that, in order to meet the forthcoming carbon diocide emission specifications without losses in terms of torque and performance, there are two central trends when it comes to combustion units – downsizing, which means turbocharged engines with fewer cylinders and less engine displacement, and downspeeding, which is the reduction of the engine speeds combined with a maximum torque that is applied at a very early stage. It is the reduction of the speeds in particular that demands transmissions with a higher spread, which is the reason ZF has increased it from 7.0 to 7.8 on the new 8HP by means of optimized gearsets. "This measure alone reduces the speed across all gears by 50 revolutions per minute on average, and reduces fuel consumption by almost 1%," explains Greiner. Furthermore, the ZF developers have succeeded in once again reducing the internal transmission losses. This is primarily ensured by the new multidisk separation. Additional springs integrated into the multidisk packages of the shift elements ensure that the friction shift elements are almost fully opened and, consequently, cause less drag torque. "Compared to the first 8HP model range, we have reduced the power losses by more than two-thirds with the new generation," adds Greiner. Meanwhile, a further innovative function minimizes the creeping torques. A clutch is now fully opened during deceleration and when the vehicle is stationary. "Consequently, it is no longer necessary to 'brake' against the drive," explains Greiner. Another positive effect is that the oil pump belonging to the ZF automatic transmission works with a system pressure that has been reduced from 5 to 3.5 bar and, as a result, requires less energy overall. Furthermore, the objective was to take the changing vibration behavior of the increasingly economical yet, at the same time, more powerful downsizing units into account. Therefore, all 8HP automatic transmissions feature advanced torsional vibration dampers. These dampers eliminate the vibrations that occur on the engine side in a particularly effective manner so that they are unable to move into the driveline and body. The newly developed torque converter contributes to downspeeding because the hydrodynamic transmission of power can be bridged even more quickly. This enables traveling with a closed lock-up clutch at an early stage and at an extremely low engine speed. The tailored, fuel-efficient uncoupling of the transmission in connection with a temporary engine stop, the so-called coasting function, is now possible at speeds up to 160 km/h. At the other end of the speed scale, ZF has further optimized the optional start/stop function of the 8HP. After the vehicle has come to a stop, it stops the engine without any discernible delay – instead of after 1.5 seconds, as was previously the case. However, dynamics are not neglected, despite the fuel-saving potential. The new transmission control unit enables nested multiple downshifts, which permits the 8HP to respond in an even more spontaneous and dynamic manner where necessary. -
ZF + Levant Power: le sospensioni a recupero energetico
nella discussione ha aggiunto jeby in Elettrificazione e Tecnologie per l'Ambiente
pensavate di averle viste tutte? e invece no. Ecco il nuovo ammortizzatore "GenShock" di ZF che, oltre ad essere una sospensione attiva dotata della sua bella pompa e del suo motore elettrico e controlli vari, può anche trasformare il moto del fluido nell'ammortizzatore in elettricità. Interessante il fatto che i quattro ammortizzatori intelligenti sono in grado di tenere l'auto su 3 ruote e sollevarne una per le operazioni di sostituzione. qui il link ufficiale ZF Friedrichshafen AG | Press Release da cui: -
