Abstract: A drive assembly for vehicles with front wheels and rear wheels, especially for tractors, agricultural machinery, construction machinery or for self-driving machines, has an engine (1), a first drive (15) to drive the rear wheels, a second drive (27) to drive the front wheels, an adjustable hydraulic pump (5) driven by the engine (1), and an adjustable first hydraulic motor (9). The first hydraulic motor (9), with respect to drive, is connected to the first drive (15) to drive the rear wheels. Also, the first hydraulic motor, with respect to drive, may be connected to the second drive (27), to drive the front wheels. A second hydraulic motor (10), with respect to drive, can be connected to the second drive (27) to drive the front wheels. The first hydraulic motor (9) has a high coefficient of efficiency within a first driving speed range of the vehicle. The second hydraulic motor (10) has a high coefficient of efficiency within a second driving speed range of the vehicle.

Abstract: A driving arrangement with a free-wheel coupling has a coupling sleeve (1) and a coupling hub (10) rotatably supported in the coupling sleeve (1). Both are connected, via locking pawls (24), so that, during driving of the coupling hub (10), a slaving of the coupling sleeve (1) takes place. However, a faster rotation of the coupling sleeve (1) is allowed so that the coupling sleeve (1) can overtake the coupling hub (10). Belleville springs (25, 29) achieve a breaking effect with large lagging masses. The Belleville springs (25, 29) are kept non-rotational relative to the coupling hub (10) and are supported on the end faces (8, 9) of the coupling sleeve (1). The Belleville springs (25, 29) are pre-tensioned by means of a friction face (26).

Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly having a universal joint (1) with a first joint yoke (2), a second joint yoke (3), a cross member (4) and a gear (5). The first joint yoke (2) is rotatable around a first axis of rotation (6). The second joint yoke (3) is rotatable around a second axis of rotation (7). The cross member unit (4) articulatable connects the joint yokes (2, 3) to one another. Thus, angles of their axes of rotation (6, 7) are adjustable relative to one another. The gear (5) acts as a drive. The gear (5) is connected in a rotationally fast way to the first joint yoke (2). The gear (5) is arranged co-axially relative to the axis of rotation (6) around the center of the cross member unit (4). Thus, this assembly reduces the size of the angles of articulation of universal joints of a short driveshaft.

Abstract: A device which attaches an agricultural implement (2) to a tractor (1), and in addition, establishes a driving connection between the power take-off shaft of the tractor and the drive of the implement has, for this purpose, a drive unit (8) which includes two bevel gear angle drives (9, 10) arranged one above the other. One of the drives (9, 10) is firmly connected to the drawbar of the implement with the other one connectable to the lower steering arm of the tractor by an attaching stirrup (12). The attaching system allows the tractor and implement to pivot relative to one another around a vertical axis (25), a transverse axis (26) and a longitudinal axis (27). To achieve pivotability relative to the drive unit (8) around the longitudinal axis (27), the attaching stirrup (12) is supported by a sleeve (47) on a flange housing (39) which is arranged coaxially relative to the first connecting journal (20) of the drive unit (39) thereby achieving an improvement in the transmission of towing forces.

Abstract: A row-crop harvester has a frame displaceable in a predetermined travel direction and formed with a plurality of forwardly open throats each provided with a respective conveyor chain each in turn spanned over a respective drive sprocket. Each such drive sprocket is carried on a respective drive shaft having a drive gear that meshes with the drive gears of the conveyor chains to each side. Each drive shaft with its respective sprocket and gear are together mounted in a respective housing bolted to the frame of the harvester and having a mounting flange whose outer periphery corresponds to the pitch circle of the respective drive gear. A main gear meshing with one of the drive gears rotates all of these drive gears simultaneously, and each conveyor chain has a stretch exposed in a respective throat of the machine which is opposite the stretch of the flanking chains for backward advance of cut crop.
