AUTOMATED MECHANICAL TRANSMISSION TEST SUMMARY AND COMPONENT ANALYSIS

Eaton Corporation has contracted with the United States Army to design, develop and deliver a prototype automated mechanical transmission system for the M939-series 5-ton truck to demonstrate technical feasibility. The system design used the Eaton TSO-11616 transmission in combination with the Cummins NHC-250 engine and Spicer AS1402SD heavy-duty clutch. Test plans were conducted at Eaton and Aberdeen Proving Grounds to evaluate both performance and durability. This report covers the test results, teardown inspection and transmission rebuild for the Modern Technology demonstration truck.
