Abstract: Disclosed is a differential transmission unit featuring active controlling of the moment distribution. Said differential transmission unit comprises a differential transmission (4) with two output shafts (6, 7), the cage (5) of said differential transmission (4) forming the input member, and one respective controlled frictional clutch (22, 26) that is associated with an output shaft. The primary part (22) of the clutch is drivingly connected to the input member (5) while the secondary part (26) of the clutch is drivingly connected to the associated output shaft (6, 7), at least one of the driving connections being provided with an increased or reduced transmission ratio.

Abstract: A multi-disk clutch having a plurality of interengaging disks movable along a longitudinal clutch axis and a resetting device for the mutual release of adjacent disks along a release distance, with the release distance being bounded by an abutment device. The abutment device includes at least one contact section of a clutch part movable along the longitudinal clutch axis and at least one contact section of an axially fixed clutch part, with the moving clutch part and the axially fixed clutch part having different thermal coefficients of expansion and with the contact sections at both sides cooperating such that the bounding of the release distance varies in dependence on the temperature, with at least one of the contact sections having a sloping surface.

Abstract: A transmission has a rotatable differential cage (74) and two output shafts (64). In order to distribute a torque between the output shafts (64), at least one balancing wheel (76) is rotatably mounted on the differential cage (74), which balancing wheel (76) is drive-coupled to a respective drive wheel (78) of the output shafts (64). The gearing also has at least one concavely curved coupling wheel (80) which is drive-coupled firstly to at least one of the drive wheels (78) and secondly to at least one hollow shaft (82). The hollow shaft (82) surrounds one of the output shafts (64). The hollow shaft (82) can be braked or driven relative to a part of the gearing.

Abstract: A method of connecting a rotationally symmetrical part (11) having precision-machined functional surfaces (16) to a hub part (21) by welding is to deliver a distortion-free end product. To this end, the rotationally symmetrical part (11) and the hub part (12), in their longitudinal sections, are dimensioned in such a way that, when the rotationally symmetrical part (11) is shrunk onto or pressed onto the hub part (12), stresses are produced in the former and said stresses produce deformations which are opposed to the stresses to be expected during the subsequent welding and to deformations caused by said stresses. This is achieved by one of the contact surfaces (14; 15) being conical or by shaping the rotationally symmetrical part (11).
