Characteristics and Identification Characteristics of the Automated Transmission The Eaton EA(B)O-6X06 automated transmission is basically a conventional ES family mechanical transmission with 06 forward speeds and 1 reverse speed. The EA(B)O-6X06 is designed to be a fully automated transmission, providing full clutch displacement and control functionality.

Characteristics and Identification Model Designation All Eaton transmissions are identified by the model designation and serial number. This information is stamped on the identification plate fixed to the transmission case. EA(B)O - 6X06 A Eaton Gear ratio Automated Forward speeds...
Eaton transmissions are designed so that all the internal parts operate in an oil circulating bath, created by the motion of gears and shafts. Thus, all parts are properly lubricated if the following procedures are closely followed: 1.
Page 10
Lubrication Oil level check Refilling Before checking oil level, clean case area around filler plug and if necessary, add enough oil to maintain the proper oil level. CAUTION! Do not mix lubricant of Correct Oil Level different types and brands, as this may cause incompatibility issues.
Tightening Torques and Sealants The correct application of adhesives (threadlockers) and sealing compounds (sealants) is important to assure a proper assembly and to avoid leakages. Tightening capscrews, plugs and nuts to the proper torque is important to prevent them from loosening and to avoid oil leakage, assuring a long transmission life.
Page 13
Loctite 570 (Eaton E677) Adhesive and Sealants: • Dow Corning 780 (Eaton E680) Chemical adhesives can fulfill more than one function: 1. Thread locking, which prevents loose screws by vibration or improper torque. 2. Screw lock and seal, preventing loose screws while ensuring that no lubricant leakage will occur through the holes.
Precautions Synchronizer assemblies Precautions during disassembly and assembly Avoid bad handling of synchronizer assemblies.

Precautions Oil seals and snap rings Any oil seal, snap ring, etc. damaged during maintenance, should be replaced by a new one. Replacement of oil seals and snap rings is cheaper when unit is disassembled than a premature overhaul to replace these parts in a future time.
Special Tools Special Tools Throughout this manual, several transmission maintenance procedures are performed using special tools specifically recommended for this purpose. These special tools are required for properly servicing the transmission and its use will prevent damages to the transmission and its components. In addition, the use of these tools is important to prevent personal injuries and to preserve the safety of the mechanic.

2. Operation Power Flow The transmission must efficiently transfer the engine’s power or torque to the vehicle’s driveline. It is essential to know what takes place in the transmission during torque transfer when troubleshooting or making repairs. Gears and Synchronizers Identification 11 12 13 14 ESO-6106/6206/fluxo 1.
Page 30
Power Flow How the transmission works 1. Torque from the engine is transferred, through 4. The torque along the countershaft (22) is the clutch, to the transmission`s input shaft (1). transmitted to all the gears of the mainshaft (14), The direction of the rotation is the same as of the assembled on needle roller bearings.
Page 33
Power Flow 5th Speed The 5th speed in this transmission is a direct drive speed. This designation is due to the fact that in this speed the input shaft, although it drives the countershaft together, transfers the engine torque directly to the mainshaft, without any gear reduction.
Page 34
Power Flow Reverse Speed 1. When the reverse speed gear is shifted, the 3. As a result of the reverse idle gear (15) in this torque is transferred from the input shaft (1) to the engagement, the rotation of the mainshaft (14) countershaft (22) performing the first reduction (3 in the reverse speed is counterclockwise.

4. Electro-Hydraulic Control Unit Characteristics and Operation of the Electro-Hydraulic Control Unit The electro-hydraulic control unit can be divided into two distinct subassemblies although they are mounted on a single base: the power group and the actuator. The power group is responsible for transforming electrical energy into hydraulic energy through a DC electric motor and the oil pump.
Page 114
Characteristics and Operation The Electro-Hydraulic Control Unit provides the automation of gear shifting to the mechanical box, which is managed by an electronic unit (TCU - Transmission Control Unit). The electro-hydraulic control unit used on the EA(B)O-6X06 transmission is of LSC (Linear Selection Control) type. The LSC system consists of two shafts and a spring.
Page 115
Characteristics and Operation The shift piston has three possible positions and is controlled by two solenoid valves: • Position 1 - Rest/neutral position; • Position 2 - Engagement of even gears; • Position 3 - Engagement of odd gears. 0082-18 1.
Page 116
Characteristics and Operation Power Group This part of the electro-hydraulic control unit is responsible for transforming electrical energy into hydraulic energy through a DC electric motor and the oil pump. It also maintains stable hydraulic pressure required for system operation, where the working pressure ranges from 40 to 60 bar at 20 °C.

Characteristics and Operation Complete Hydraulic Circuit These circuits are responsible for the interconnection of all electro-hydraulic control unit components. 0086-18 1. High pressure circuit (channels in red) 3. Return circuit (channels in blue) 2. Actuating circuit (channels in yellow) 4. Air breather and oil recirculation circuit (channels in green) High Pressure Circuit Channels of this circuit always work with the highest system pressure.

Characteristics and Operation Actuator Group It is responsible for transforming the hydraulic energy in motion through the gear shift and selection pistons. 0089-18 1. Selection chamber cover QPV Proportional flow electrovalve 2. Clutch actuator tube 3. Shift chamber cover PPV Proportional pressure electrovalve 4.
Page 120
Characteristics and Operation 0091-18 1. Shift piston 2. Selection piston Gear selection is performed by controlling the oil flow in one side of the piston by means of a spring in the opposite side. 0092-18 1. Oil chamber 3. Magnet 2.
Page 121
Characteristics and Operation Gear shift is performed by controlling the oil pressure in the piston chambers and unlike the selection piston, it uses a second electrovalve instead of a spring. 0093-18 1. Oil chamber 3. Magnet 2. Position sensor 4. Spring chamber In both cases, the positioning of the piston is monitored by a magnet and a position sensor, where the magnet is attached to the piston and sends a magnetic field that is picked up by the position sensor.

Page 123
Characteristics and Operation Oil Return Circuit The actuating circuits in yellow and the oil return circuits in blue are interconnected by the electrovalves according to the need for gear shifting and clutch control. There is no communication between the high-pressure circuit and the oil return circuit which always works at low pressure.
Page 124
Characteristics and Operation Air Breather and Oil Recirculation Circuit The air breather and oil recirculation circuit have the primary function of allowing the passage of atmospheric air into the oil reservoir when the electric motor is turned on. It allows the air to escape when the electric motor is turned off and the oil is returning from the system to the reservoir.
