Abstract
Abstract Described herein is a hydraulic servo suitable for friction coupling elements in automatic transmissions. The hydraulic servo of the invention is compact in construction and reduced particularly in axial dimensions, and essentially comprises: an annular drum rotatably or fixedly mounted in a transmission case and having a press-formed annular plate member with an first cylinder portion and a second cylinder member joined to the first cylinder portion by fully encircling welding; a piston fitted between the first cylinder portion and the second cylinder member; and a reaction area formed by extending the annular plate member of the drum radially inward to support return springs.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
A hydraulic servo for a friction coupling element in an automatic transmission including a casing, said hydraulic servo, comprising: an annular drum having a first cylinder, a second cylinder, and a side wall connecting said first and second cylinders all integrally formed together as a single piece by press forming, said first cylinder having a plurality of splines on its outer cylindrical surface and being fixed to the interior of the casing through said splines and said second cylinder having a plurality of splines on its inner cylindrical surface; a press-formed third cylinder joined to the side wall of said annular drum by a fully encircling weld; a piston fitted between said first cylinder and said third cylinder; and biasing means provided between said third cylinder and said second cylinder for returning said piston.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
