- The webinar will explain the need for next-generation EV and
HEV propulsion systems that improve efficiency and all-electric
driving range
- Amsted Automotive multi-functional clutch technology enables
multi-speed shift systems with multiple advantages over dog-clutch
systems
SOUTHFIELD, Mich., July 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Amsted Automotive will present
new solutions for multi-speed shift systems with One-Way-Clutch
(OWC) functionality in an upcoming SAE International webinar. This
technology, when applied to EV and HEV drivetrains, can provide
improved efficiency as well as provide a flexible system solution
for simplified controls and increased shift performance, compared
to conventional technology.
John Jennings, Amsted Director of
Innovation and eMobility, will present this latest Amsted
technology in a 30-minute webinar, as well as answer questions from
the audience.
These systems can be built upon proven Amsted Dynamic
Controllable Clutch (DCC) technology already used in a production
EV all-wheel-drive vehicle since 2021. The technology can be used
in both parallel-axis and co-axial powertrain systems. One
variation eliminates friction clutches for reduced drag, improved
efficiency and improved sustainability metrics.
Advantages of the Amsted one-way-clutch over dog-clutch style
systems include:
- No blocked or interrupted shifts
- No ratcheting during shifts
- Simplified system controls
- Additional functionality such as park-lock
- Easier calibration, reducing engineering loads
The webinar is available to join at no cost and will take place
August 1, 2024, at 11 a.m EST.

Topics of the webinar will include:
- Multi-speed shift systems and the transition from ICE to EV
drivetrains,
- Needs for next-generation EV propulsion systems to improve
vehicle range and performance,
- Novel solutions for EV disconnect and shift systems enabled by
new one-way-clutch technology,
- Power-shift technology with integrated one-way-clutch
functionality,
- And the novel Amsted one-way clutch shift technology, with no
friction elements, for optimal efficiency and performance
