  • Publication number: 20240035526
    Abstract: A clutch device includes a wet-running multiple disc clutch that has a first multiple disc carrier, a second multiple disc carrier, and a multiple disc pack assigned to the first and second multiple disc carrier. The clutch device further includes a first power transmission element on a first axial side of a wall facing away from the multiple disc pack, and a second power transmission element on a second axial side of the wall facing the multiple disc pack for applying an operating power to the multiple disc pack. The second power transmission element has an application section and operating fingers that extend through recesses in the wall to interact with the first power transmission element on the first axial side. The application section protrudes inward in the radial direction over the operating fingers.

  • Patent number: 10711850
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a freewheel (2) comprising an inner ring (30), an outer ring (28), a clamping gap (32) between the inner ring (30) and the outer ring (28), a side wall (40) for lateral limitation of the clamping gap (32) and at least one clamping element (34) in the clamping gap (32) which is biased by means of a spring element (66), wherein the spring element (66) is supported or supportable on one side on the clamping element (34) and on the other side on a support projection (70), which is formed by a supporting tongue (74) bent out of the side wall (40) and projecting into the clamping gap (32). In addition, the present invention relates to a method for producing such a freewheel (2).

  • Patent number: 10385933
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a freewheel comprising an outer ring, an inner ring, and at least one clamping element which is between the outer ring and the inner ring, which is moveable from a clamping position into a release position along a race on the outer ring in a first circumferential direction relative to the outer ring, wherein the race has a clamping section, and a release section following the clamping section in the first circumferential direction on which the clamping element is supportable. A first tangent through at least one support point on the clamping section defines a first inner angle, which is greater than 180°, with a second tangent through at least one support point on the release section. In addition, the present invention relates to a freewheel arrangement for a motor vehicle comprising such a freewheel.
