Publication number: 20260008329Abstract: A housing arrangement has a first and second housings. The first housing has a connection section on an outer periphery for receiving an electrical connector and a plurality of first fastening sections spaced apart evenly from each other in the peripheral direction for fastening to a second housing. The second housing has a plurality of fastening sections spaced evenly apart from each other in the peripheral direction. The first fastening sections of the first and second housings are arranged in such a way that the first housing can be fastened to the second housing in different angular positions in the peripheral direction. The first housing has at least one transmission section which is formed to correspond to one of the angular positions on a plurality of base sections, where the base sections are designed to form the transmission section corresponding to each of the angular positions.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2025Publication date: January 8, 2026Applicant: ZF Friedrichshafen AGInventors: Hermann Lanz, Sylva Rother, Mario Holder, Berthold Schraff, Frank Sauter, Horst Leichsenring

Publication number: 20250381837Abstract: A drive unit for a vehicle includes a gearbox having an input element configured to introduce a drive power into the gearbox, and a clutch device with a clutch actuating device. A first drive machine is configured to drive the vehicle and can be mechanically and functionally connected to the input element. A second drive machine is configured to drive the vehicle and can be mechanically and functionally connected to the input element by way of the clutch device. A first housing defines a clutch space for accommodating the clutch actuating device and a drive space for accommodating the first drive machine. Relative to the clutch space, the drive space is arranged in the axial direction offset to a first side. A heat exchanger is arranged radially between an outer circumference of the clutch actuating device and an inner circumference of the first housing inside the clutch space.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2025Publication date: December 18, 2025Applicant: ZF Friedrichshafen AGInventors: Hermann Lanz, Sylva Rother, Mario Holder, Berthold Schraff, Frank Sauter, Horst Leichsenring

Patent number: 11479116Abstract: An auxiliary power take-off assembly in an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle provided with a torque converter, having a transmission input and transmission output having a drive shaft at the transmission input that is permanently connected to a drive motor of the motor vehicle via a pump shaft of the torque converter. A transmission output shaft at the transmission output, and a transmission chain includes at least one drive element and one output element. The output element can be connected to an additional unit to be driven. A switch element, which is arranged so as to act between the drive shaft and the drive element of the transmission chain for optionally connecting the drive shaft to the drive element. The drive element and the output element are designed as gearwheels which are engaged with one another without an intermediate wheel.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2019Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: ZF Friedrichshafen AGInventors: Michael Epple, Michael Trübenbach, Hermann Lanz, Sylva Rother, Mario Holder

Patent number: 8863617Abstract: A motor vehicle transmission having an input shaft, which can be coupled to a drive aggregate, an output shaft, which can be coupled to an output, and several shift elements. At least two shift elements, designed as clutches, are each coupled via an outer clutch plate carrier with the input shaft in such a way that an outer clutch plate carrier of a first radially outer clutch encloses an outer clutch plate carrier of a second radially inner clutch at least sectionally and radially outside. A drive gear is coupled to the input shaft through which a power take-off can be coupled to withdraw power from the input shaft or through which an auxiliary drive aggregate can supply power to the input shaft. The drive gear is linked through the outer clutch plate carrier of the radially inner clutch to the input shaft.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2010Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: ZF Friedrichshafen AGInventors: Mario Holder, Dietmar Illerhaus
