MECHANICAL SYSTEM


Description

- Containing a MG2 (Motor Generator No.2) for driving the vehicle and a MG1 (Motor Generator No.1) for generating electrical power, this hybrid transaxle uses a continuously variable transmission mechanism with compound gear unit (which consists of a motor speed reduction planetary gear unit and a power split planetary gear unit) that achieve smooth and quiet operation.
- A transaxle damper that consists of a coil spring with low-twist characteristics is used in order to absorb the torque fluctuation in the drive force of the engine.
- This transaxle uses two lubrication mechanisms concurrently: a lubrication mechanism consisting of a trochoid type oil pump placed on the main shaft, and a lubrication mechanism consisting of an oil slinger on the final gear. The concurrent use of the two mechanisms reduces the drive loss of the oil pump.
