“Full Product Matrix — Electric & Hydraulic Actuation” 👉Patent 2026901148 A motor-assisted constant-mesh multi-cone selector transmission system for electric vehicles; and 👉Patent 2026901295 Electronically Actuated Multi-Cone Clutch Platform for Industrial, Marine, Aerospace, Robotics, Mining, Rail, and Renewable Energy Applications
Cone Clutch Solutions — Full Product Matrix - "Electric" & "Hydraulic" Cone-Clutch Families
Developing both electric and hydraulic cone‑clutches gives CCS a broader, more resilient product platform that serves fundamentally different markets and engineering environments. Each actuation method solves a different class of problems, and together they expand your commercial reach, technical credibility, and TAM.
🌍 Why both matter for CCS
Electric and hydraulic actuation are not substitutes — they are complementary technologies aligned to different industries, temperatures, duty cycles, and safety requirements.
⚡ Electric cone‑clutches: EVs, robotics, automation
Electric actuation is ideal where precision, software control, and efficiency dominate.
Works with our (up to) 84% gain / lower axial engagement force architecture
Enables motor‑controlled synchronisation
Delivers software‑defined slip and engagement
Eliminates hydraulics entirely
Fits EV drivetrains, robotics, industrial automation, autonomous systems
🔥 Hydraulic cone‑clutches: turbines, aerospace, extreme environments
Hydraulics remain essential where temperatures, loads, and duty cycles exceed what electric actuators can survive.
Handles 100–500 Nm in high‑temperature gearboxes
Compatible with turbine accessory drives
Supports ceramic friction materials
Provides stable force in continuous high‑heat environments
Matches legacy aerospace and industrial architectures
This is our high‑temperature, heavy‑duty product line.
🧩 The strategic reason to develop both
Together, electric and hydraulic variants allow CCS to:
Serve multiple billion‑dollar markets (EV, robotics, aerospace, turbines, industrial)
Position the cone clutch as a platform technology, not a single‑sector component
Offer OEMs a complete torque‑transfer portfolio
De‑risk the business by diversifying across industries
Build credibility with Tier‑1 suppliers who expect multi‑actuation options
This dual‑path strategy is exactly how CCS expands from EVs into global industrial and aerospace markets.
