    摘要: An assembly for driving a friction clutch, having a hydraulically driveable stepped piston, with: a pump driving the stepped piston, which has a working piston moveably arranged in a working chamber that divides it into first and auxiliary working chambers. The working piston is mechanically connected to an auxiliary working piston and hydraulically driveable via a second working chamber. A control valve is arranged between the stepped piston and pump. A first line path leads from the pump to the second working chamber, and a second line path leads from the pump to the first working chamber. The stepped piston has a working tappet which acts on the friction clutch. The first and second line paths are connected via a first line section of the supply line and a multi-port control valve, which has two valve positions, and the first line section is at least partially blocked in one valve position.

    摘要: A cooling fan device includes an electronic control unit that controls an engagement rate of a fan clutch. The electronic control unit executes a first calculation process that calculates an air conditioner requested engagement rate, a second calculation process that calculates, as a first guard value, a value of an engagement rate at which a fan rotation speed increases at a specified speed and an upper limit guarding process that sets a value of the air conditioner requested engagement rate to the first guard value when a calculated value of the air conditioner requested engagement rate in the first calculation process exceeds the first guard value. The electronic control unit further controls the engagement rate of the fan clutch based on a value of the air conditioner requested engagement rate after execution of the upper limit guarding process.

    摘要: A vehicle lock-up clutch control device is provided to suppress engine racing when a lock-up clutch is engaged at the time a vehicle starts moving. The vehicle lock-up clutch control device is provided with a control unit that delays the rise in lock-up command pressure if a line pressure, which is the source pressure of the actual lock-up oil pressure, is rising when the lock-up clutch is engaged at the time the vehicle starts moving. The control unit executes a torque reduction in the engine at least during the delay in the lock-up command pressure.
