  • Bearing mounting arrangement for a drive train of a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 8888377
    Abstract: In a bearing mounting arrangement for a drive train of a motor vehicle including a shaft having a drive part non-rotatably connected to the shaft and at least an outer bearing ring and an inner bearing ring which can be biased by means of a bracing device in axial direction of the shaft toward the outer bearing ring due to a relative rotation of the drive part with respect to the bearing ring with a bearing tensioning force which depends on a torque transmitted by the shaft so that the bearing tensioning force is relatively low during low-torque operation of the drive train.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 5, 2012
