Abstract:
A hydraulic pump with an integrated clutch includes an outer cone coupled to a drive gear or a driven gear and having a frictional inner surface, and an inner cone arranged inside the outer cone, coupled to the drive gear or the driven gear and having a frictional outer surface, wherein the inner and outer cones are rotationally and axially movable with respect to each other. A spring is coupled to the inner cone or the outer cone and acts to axially displace the inner cone with respect to the outer cone in a first direction. An actuator including a rod and a piston is coupled to the inner cone or the outer cone and acts to overcome the force of the spring to axially displace the inner cone with respect to the outer cone in a second direction being axially opposite to the first direction.
