Abstract: A dog clutch for the controllable positive connection of two drive components situated coaxially around an axis of rotation. Two ring parts form the connection, including an inner ring and an outer ring that are movable axially relative to each other under external control to selectively make and break the connection therebetween. To produce the dog clutch simply and economically, the ring parts include teeth to form radial gearing with each other. At least one of the two ring parts is produced without machining, while its toothed part that forms the radial gearing is produced by punching and stamping.

Abstract: An axle differential transmission, including: a housing; a differential stage including at least one planetary gear assembly; an input shaft connected to the at least one planetary gear assembly; and a clutch assembly including an actuator, at least one first clutch plate non-rotatably connected to the input shaft, at least one second clutch plate non-rotatably connected to the housing, and a one-way clutch including at least one wedge clutch plate. For a initial drive mode, the actuator is arranged to compress the at least one first clutch plate, the at least one second clutch plate, and the at least one wedge clutch plate to non-rotatably connect the housing and the input shaft. For a final drive mode, relative rotation between the housing and the input shaft in a first circumferential direction is arranged to non-rotatably connect the housing, the input shaft, and the at least one wedge plate.
