Patent number: 9909628Abstract: A transmitter for a synchronizing assembly of a manual transmission has a transmitter disk and at least one clutch disk which is arranged on a side surface of the transmitter disk. The clutch disk and the transmitter disk are fixedly connected together by local welding points. A method for producing a transmitter for a synchronizing assembly of a manual transmission consists of providing a clutch disk and a transmitter disk. Then, the clutch disk and the transmitter disk are fastened together by means of projection welding. Finally, the thus formed assembly is hardened.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2015Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: HOERBIGER Antriebstechnik Holding GmbHInventors: Michael Bauer, Juergen Binder, Berthold Negele, Georg Ruprecht
