Abstract: A gear combination comprising a first planetary gear stage and a second planetary gear stage, each formed by a planet and a sun, wherein said planet is rotatably secured on a planetary carrier comprising pin axes, said pin axes arranged a radial distance from a main axis through said suns, a first gear wheel comprising a first tooth, said first tooth secured to said first gear wheel, wherein said first tooth has a first tooth flank, a second gear wheel comprising a second tooth and a tooth gap, said second tooth secures to said second gear wheel, wherein said second tooth has a second tooth flank, a first tooth arrangement formed by said first tooth and, a second tooth arrangement formed by said second tooth and said tooth gap, wherein said first gear wheel and said second gear wheel engage via said first tooth flank and said second tooth flank.

Abstract: The present invention broadly comprises a clutch assembly with a radial flow chamber including a first hub and a carrier. The first hub and carrier form at least one first opening and a first portion of at least one radial chamber or passageway in the clutch assembly. First and second radially disposed segments of the first hub and carrier, respectively, partially define the first portion. A second portion of the chamber is formed between the first segment and a third radially disposed segment connected to a second hub. Openings in the first segment connect the first and second portions. A third portion of the passageway is formed between the second segment and a fourth radially disposed segment. A plate forms at least a portion of an axial barrier with respect to a second clutch in the clutch assembly.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) for the variable setting of control times of gas-exchange valves (9a, b) of an internal combustion engine (1) is provided and includes a drive element (22), a driven element (23), at least one pressure chamber (35, 36), a pressurized medium system (37), and a pressure storage device (43). The pressure chamber (35, 36) and the pressure storage device (43) communicate with the pressurized medium system (37), and a phase position between the driven element (23) and the drive element (22) can be changed by supplying pressurized medium to or discharging pressurized medium from the pressure chamber (35, 36) by the pressurized medium system (37).
