  • Publication number: 20140235394
    Abstract: A drive unit (1) including an electric motor (2) and a first planetary drive (7) with a first shifting clutch (3) for selecting a first connection between the electric motor (2) and a driven element (6) of the drive unit, and with a second shifting clutch (4) for selecting a second connection between the electric motor (2) and the driven element (6). A transmission connection is formed between the electric motor (2) and the first shifting clutch (3) by the first planetary drive (7).

  • Publication number: 20140194245
    Abstract: A planetary gear unit, having at least one first set of first planetary wheels arranged at a radial distance to a central axis, which mesh with a first sun gear that is rotatable around the central axis. The planetary gear unit further includes at least one second set of second planetary wheels arranged at a radial distance to the central axis, where the second planetary wheels mesh with a second sun gear that is rotatable around the central axis.

  • Publication number: 20140066247
    Abstract: A transmission device or an electric axle which has improved operational characteristics compared to known solutions. Said aim is achieved by providing a transmission device (1) including an electric motor (3) provided with a rotor (6), a planetary gear (4) provided with at least one sun gear (9), and a shaft arrangement (7,8), the rotor (6) being coupled in a rotationally fixed manner to the sun gear (9) by the shaft arrangement (7, 8). The shaft arrangement (7,8) includes at least one compensation interface (21) which is designed such that it is possible to change the distance and/or tilting between the motor (6) and sun wheel (9).

  • Publication number: 20130172142
    Abstract: A planetary gear and a drive unit having the planetary gear, the planetary gear being characterized by very good integratability. For this purpose, a planetary gear (5) for transmitting a drive torque in a vehicle is proposed, having a first sun wheel attachment (12a) and a second sun wheel attachment (12b), each of the sun wheel attachments (12a, b) being coupled to a shaft (2a, b) in a rotationally fixed manner, and the sun wheel attachments (12a, b) being rotatable relative to one another, and the sun wheel attachments (12a, b) being situated in an overlapping area (11), overlapping in the radial direction.
