MICRO-ELECTRO-MECHANICAL-SYSTEMS BASED HYDRAULIC CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A DRY DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION

摘要

A dry dual clutch transmission includes at least one hydraulic component and a pilot valve operably connected to the hydraulic component to actuate the hydraulic component. The pilot valve includes a Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) based pressure differential actuator valve. The hydraulic component may include but is not limited to a first clutch and a second clutch of the dry dual clutch transmission, an on/off solenoid, a line pressure control valve or a synchronizing shift fork.
