  • Synchronizing clutch
    Patent number: 10018231
    Abstract: A synchronizing clutch includes a synchronizing mechanism that can be displaced longitudinally in an axial direction along the longitudinal axis of the synchronizing clutch between a first and a second hub. The mechanism has a synchromesh sleeve with a first ratchet carrier and the synchromesh sleeve has a ratchet located on said carrier. In addition, the ratchet carrier is connected to the first hub in a longitudinally displaceable manner by means of helical toothing. At least one compression spring element is operatively arranged between the ratchet carrier and the first hub and runs parallel to the longitudinal axis of the synchronizing clutch.
