  • Patent number: 4788886
    Abstract: A planetary transfer transmission for the drive of two vehicle axles of a motor vehicle, whereby a central input shaft, a coaxial central output shaft, and a concentric output shaft, in a torsionally fixed way, are respectively connected with one gear element of a planetary wheel gear that can be locked by a locking multi-disk clutch. An input wheel of an axle offset gear, that can be driven by the concentric output shaft, the planetary wheel transmission, and the locking multi-disk clutch are arranged in line to one another.The input wheel is disposed on the side of the locking multi-disk clutch that is opposed to the planetary wheel gear and, in a torsionally fixed way, is held on an outer hollow shaft that is rotatably disposed on the concentric output shaft and can be brought into driving connection with the concentric output shaft by an axle-connecting multi-disk clutch that is arranged on the side of the input wheel that is opposed to the locking multi-disk clutch.

  • Patent number: 4730713
    Abstract: In a plate clutch, an annular cylinder chamber with a moveable annular cylinder portion is located in a transition region between a radial flange and a cylindrical external plate carrier integral with the radial flange. The position of the annular cylinder portion is fixed in the radial and axial directions relative to the external plate carrier by the flange which fixes the annular cylinder in one axial direction of the clutch axis and by means of a circlip in the other axial direction of the clutch axis. In order to improve the sealing of the working pressure chamber enclosed by the annular cylinder portion, the annular cylinder is supported in the radial directions by means of a ring seal, so that it can move and be also elastically carried on the external plate carrier.

  • Patent number: 4718302
    Abstract: In an epicyclic distributor gear-box for driving two vehicle axles of a motor vehicle, a main shaft concentric with one of two coaxial main shafts is connected to the sun wheel of an epicyclic gear-box. Each of the two other gear elements of the epicyclic gear-box are connected to one of the coaxial main shafts. A lock-up plate clutch connected to two of the gear elements is engaged by a spring and disengaged by an axial pressure piston. Each half-clutch has a plate carrier and one of the plate carriers has an abutment supporting all the plates. The abutment is both immovably fixed on the concentric main shaft by releasable fasteners and is provided with axial passage for a clutch disengagement assembly. The spring maintains the engaged end position and is located on the sun wheel side of the plate carrier having the abutment and the axial pressure piston is located on the other side.
