The Aisin AW TF-8# SC series is a 6-speed automatic transmission designed for use in transverse engine applications produced by Aisin Seiki. It is built in Anjō, Japan,[1] and is also called TF-80SC[2] (AWF21), AF40-6, AM6,[3] AW6A-EL and TF-81SC (AF21).[4] All-wheel drive transfer cases can be fitted to the AWTF-80 SC.

Specifications

Basic concept

edit

A conventional 5-pinion planetary gearset and a compound Ravigneaux gearset is combined in a Lepelletier gear mechanism,[5] to reduce both the size and weight. It was first realized in 2000 with the 6HP from ZF Friedrichshafen. Like all transmissions realized with Lepelletier transmissions, the AWTF-80 SC also dispenses with the use of the direct gear ratio, making it one of the very few automatic transmission concepts without such a ratio.

It also has the capability to achieve torque converter lock-up on all 6 forward gears, and disengage it completely when at a standstill, significantly closing the fuel efficiency gap between automatic and manual transmissions.

Gearbox control

edit

To reduce external wiring as well as to provide a constant environment for the transmission control module (TCM), it is located inside the transmission housing. Gear shifting is managed by a computer program that oversees a clutch-to-clutch actuation that allows one clutch engage the instant the clutch from the previous gear disengages. When idling and with the foot brake depressed neutral gear is selected automatically. This helps to reduce internal temperatures and improve the fuel economy.[citation needed]

  1. ^ The AWTF80 SC-transmission is based on the Lepelletier gear mechanism, first realized in the ZF 6HP gearbox
  2. ^ a b Other gearboxes using the Lepelletier gear mechanism see infobox
  3. ^ Layout
    • Input and output are on opposite sides
    • Planetary gearset 1 is on the input (turbine) side
    • Input shafts are R1 and, if actuated, C2/C3 (the combined carrier of the compound Ravigneaux gearset 2 and 3)
    • Output shaft is R3 (ring gear of gearset 3: outer Ravigneaux gearset)
  4. ^ Total Ratio Span (Total Ratio Spread · Total Gear Ratio)
    •  
    • A wider span enables the
      • downspeeding when driving outside the city limits
      • increase the climbing ability
        • when driving over mountain passes or off-road
        • or when towing a trailer
  5. ^ Ratio Span's Center
    •  
    • The center indicates the speed level of the transmission
    • Together with the final drive ratio
    • it gives the shaft speed level of the vehicle
  6. ^ Average Gear Step
    •  
    • With decreasing step width
      • the gears connect better to each other
      • shifting comfort increases
  7. ^ Sun 1: sun gear of gearset 1
  8. ^ Ring 1: ring gear of gearset 1
  9. ^ Sun 2: sun gear of gearset 2: inner Ravigneaux gearset

    — 50 % Is Above And 50 % Is Below The Average Gear Step —
    • With steadily decreasing gear steps (yellow highlighted line Step)
    • and a particularly large step from 1st to 2nd gear
      • the lower half of the gear steps (between the small gears; rounded down, here the first 2) is always larger
      • and the upper half of the gear steps (between the large gears; rounded up, here the last 3) is always smaller
    • than the average gear step (cell highlighted yellow two rows above on the far right)
    • lower half: smaller gear steps are a waste of possible ratios (red bold)
    • upper half: larger gear steps are unsatisfactory (red bold)
  14. ^ a b c d e Standard R:1
    — Reverse And 1st Gear Have The Same Ratio —
    • The ideal reverse gear has the same transmission ratio as 1st gear
      • no impairment when maneuvering
      • especially when towing a trailer
      • a torque converter can only partially compensate for this deficiency
    • Plus 11.11 % minus 10 % compared to 1st gear is good
    • Plus 25 % minus 20 % is acceptable (red)
    • Above this is unsatisfactory (bold)
  15. ^ a b c d e Standard 1:2
    — Gear Step 1st To 2nd Gear As Small As Possible —
    • With continuously decreasing gear steps (yellow marked line Step)
    • the largest gear step is the one from 1st to 2nd gear, which
      • for a good speed connection and
      • a smooth gear shift
    • must be as small as possible
      • A gear ratio of up to 1.6667:1 (5:3) is good
      • Up to 1.7500:1 (7:4) is acceptable (red)
      • Above is unsatisfactory (bold)
  16. ^ a b c From large to small gears (from right to left)
  17. ^ a b c d e Standard STEP
    — From Large To Small Gears: Steady And Progressive Increase In Gear Steps —
    • Gear steps should
      • increase: Δ Step (first green highlighted line Δ Step) is always greater than 1
      • As progressive as possible: Δ Step is always greater than the previous step
    • Not progressively increasing is acceptable (red)
    • Not increasing is unsatisfactory (bold)
  18. ^ a b c d e Standard SPEED
    — From Small To Large Gears: Steady Increase In Shaft Speed Difference —
    • Shaft speed differences should
      • increase: Δ Shaft Speed (second line marked in green Δ (Shaft) Speed) is always greater than the previous one
    • 1 difference smaller than the previous one is acceptable (red)
    • 2 consecutive ones are a waste of possible ratios (bold)
  19. ^ First gearbox on the market to use the Lepelletier gear mechanism
