Abstract
A drive-train of a vehicle with at least a drive motor (1) and a transmission (2) in which at least one torque sensor (6, 6A) is provided for control purposes. The torque sensor (6, 6A) is integrated in a transmission component in order to determine, at the time, the applied torque.
Claims15
1-10. (canceled).
A drive-train of a vehicle with at least a drive motor (1) and a transmission (2),
- at least one torque sensor being provided for control purposes, and
- the torque sensor (6, 6A) being integrated in a transmission component for determining torque applied at the time.
A drive-train of a vehicle, the drive-train comprising:
- a drive motor,
- a transmission, and
- at least one of a vibration damper and a clutch,
- the at least one of the vibration damper and the clutch having a flexible plate with a magneto-elastic sensor integrated in the flexible plate for determining torque applied on either a transmission input side or a transmission output side,
- the magneto-elastic sensor being connected to a transmission control unit for receiving torque values, transmitted by the magneto-elastic sensor, and managing operation of at least the transmission based on the received torque values.
