  • Patent number: 11679658
    Abstract: An electric drive device for a motor vehicle has a housing, a first planetary gearset arranged in the housing and which has a first sun gear as first elements, a first planetary support, and a first gear ring. A second planetary gearset is arranged in the housing and has a second sun gear that is coupled or can be coupled non-rotationally to the first gear ring as second elements and a second planetary support and a second gear ring. The device has an electric motor, which has a stator and a rotor, an input shaft that can be driven by the rotor and is permanently non-rotationally connected to the first sun gear, an output shaft, having a differential transmission, a lateral shaft and having a first switching element, which is provided to connect the first sun gear non-rotationally to the housing. The rotor, the first planetary gearset, the second planetary gearset, and the differential transmission are arranged coaxially to one another.

  • Patent number: 7399250
    Abstract: In an all-wheel drive train for a motor vehicle wherein the drive torque of the engine of the motor vehicle is transmitted from the transmission output shaft partially to the rear axle and partially to the front axle via an offset transmission structure and a laterally arranged drive shaft extending from the offset transmission structure past the transmission to the front axle of the motor vehicle extends from the offset transmission forwardly at a certain opening angle in close proximity to the transmission structure which narrows down toward the rear so that the rear end of the lateral drive shaft is relatively close to the center axis of the transmission.

  • Patent number: 7399249
    Abstract: In a multi-disk clutch comprising a rotary body having splines formed thereon so as to extend helically along the surface thereof, with a number of disks having central openings with inwardly projecting teeth via which the discs are in rotationally positively locking engagement with the rotary body, the teeth are twisted so as to extend in a plane normal to the surface of the helically extending splines of the rotary body so that the end face areas of the teeth are in planar contact with the spline surfaces of the rotary body for the transmission of torque between the rotary body and the disks.

  • Patent number: 6845690
    Abstract: A transmission system for a motor vehicle, which contains a vehicle transmission equipped for longitudinal installation with a gear output shaft that points in the direction of the rear of the motor vehicle in the installed state is provided, wherein the shaft can be connected and be supported for rotation on an input shaft of a front axle gear unit via a driven shaft of a lateral drive unit and via a cardan shaft. For the purpose of reducing at least one deflection angle of the cardan shaft, at least one shaft corresponding to the cardan shaft is swiveled towards the gear output shaft of the vehicle transmission system.
