Although not limited to, these flywheels are normally used on trucks considered as Medium-Duty (Class 6 and 7), as well as Heavy-Duty (Class 8) trucks.

The procedure covers the estimation of the total retardation capability available to a specific vehicle from: a Natural retardation (rolling resistance, aerodynamic drag, etc). b Engine drag c Engine, integral automatic transmission, driveline or trailer-axle retarders It assumes that foundation brakes are not used for maintaining speed on long mountain descents. Retardation is rated in terms of the maximum grades on which stable control speeds can be maintained for each gear over the range of highway speeds appropriate to that gear. For each gear, the calculation procedure determines maximum grades for at least four values of control speed ranging from the vehicle velocity corresponding to full load governed engine rpm, to the vehicle velocity corresponding to the engine rpm at minimum (idle) speed. In addition, the calculation procedure provides information on the total retarding power available for each gear.

The accessory components covered by this information report include: air brake compressors, alternators, air conditioning compressors, engine cooling fans and drives, and power steering pumps. The values show an estimate of the average power requirements of known duty cycles of these engine drive accessories.

This report is intended to provide the information to estimate the accessory load of a typical heavy truck or bus. The components covered include: air compressors, alternators, refrigerant compressors, engine cooling fans and power steering pumps. The values show an estimate of the average power requirements and duty cycles for these accessories. This report does not address loads required for engine operation. Required systems include those needed for engine performance such as fuel pumps and electronic control modules (ECM).

This SAE Information Report applies to liquefied natural gas used as vehicle fuel and requires LNG producers to provide the required information on the fuel composition and its “dispense by” date.

Because of the intense focus on CAFE and fuel emission standards, optimization of the automobile drivetrain is imperative. In light of this, component efficiencies have become an important factor in the drivetrain decision-making process. It has therefore become necessary to develop a universal standard to judge transmission efficiency. This SAE Recommended Practice specifies the dynamometer test procedure which maps a manual transmission’s efficiency. The document is separated into two parts. The first compares input and output torque throughout a specified input speed range in order to determine “in-gear” transmission efficiency. The second procedure measures parasitic losses experienced while in neutral at nominal idling speeds. The application of this document is intended for passenger car and light truck. All references to transmissions throughout this document include transaxles.

Because of the intense focus on fuel economy and fuel emission standards, it has become imperative to optimize vehicle drivetrains. In light of this, component efficiencies have become an important factor in the drivetrain decision-making process. It has therefore become necessary to develop a universal standard to judge transmission efficiency. This SAE Recommended Practice specifies a test procedure which maps torque transmittal efficiency and parasitic losses for manual transmissions. The application of this document is intended for manual transmissions used in light (class 4) through heavy truck applications with both simple and compound ratio structures. This document is separated into two parts. The first compares input and output torque throughout a specified input speed range in order to determine the overall transmission efficiency. This test is used to evaluate all forward gears; testing in reverse is optional.

This SAE Recommended Practice outlines basic nomenclature in common use for truck and bus drive axle designs. Over a period of years there have been many different designs introduced; however, for this report, only the most common have been selected and only their general construction is illustrated to show the nomenclature of the various parts.

The accompanying mounting and gear locations are applicable for all general installations of power take-off on the transmission gear box of motor trucks and tractors where the size of the transmission permits. The heavy-duty type opening can be adapted to the regular-duty type by the use of an adapter with 6.35 mm (0.25 in) flange thickness with appropriate bolt pattern and thread engagement. (See Figures 1 and 2.)

This drawing and dimensional data documents the typical transmission interface dimensions that are used with 14 in and 15½ in pull-type clutches. It is intended to provide dimensional guidelines for current and future designs and thus promote interchangeability between various clutch and transmission combinations. Due to the variety of clutches and transmission mounted clutch housings, it has been found that no standard clearance envelope can be established without imposing design restrictions. Therefore, it is recommended that any specific combination be verified for clearance before incorporating in design.

This SAE Recommended Practice describes STANDARD-DUTY and EXTREME-DUTY Pilot Bearing requirements and sizes for class 6, 7, and 8 on-highway trucks and buses that use diesel engines and manual transmissions. The recommendations may apply to a wide range of other pilot-bearing applications, such as agricultural, industrial, and construction equipment.
