CH-14 CHASSIS — A340E, A340F, A343E AND A343F AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS

JPLANETARY GEAR UNIT

1. Construction
The gear train consists of three multi-plate clutches, three multi-plate brakes, a single band type brake, three
one-way clutches, and three planetary gear sets each consisting of a sun gear, a pinion gear and a ring gear.

2. Function of Components
Component Function
C0 OD Direct Clutch Connects OD planetary sun gear and OD planetary carrier.
C1 Forward Clutch Connects input shaft and front planetary ring gear.
C2 Direct Clutch Connects input shaft and front & rear planetary sun gear.
Prevents OD planetary sun gear from turning either clockwise or
B0 OD Brake
counterclockwise.
Prevents front & rear sun gear from turning either clockwise or
B1 2nd Coast Brake
counterclockwise.
Prevents outer race of F1 from turning either clockwise or
B2 2nd Brake counterclockwise, thus preventing front & rear sun gear from
turning counterclockwise.
Prevents rear planetary carrier from turning either clockwise or
B3 1st & Reverse Brake
counterclockwise.
When engine power is transmitted to OD input shaft, connects OD
F0 OD One-way Clutch
planetary sun gear and planetary carrier.
When B2 is operating, prevents front & rear planetary sun gear from
F1 No. 1 One-way Clutch
turning counterclockwise.
F2 No. 2 One-way Clutch Prevents rear planetary carrier from turning counterclockwise.
Change power transmission route according to clutch and brake
Planetary Gears operation, and increase or decrease output shaft revolution
accordingly.
