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.

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.

Abstract: A ball body is guided in a partially cylindrical hole into which a guide ring is inserted to secure it axially and to guide the pivoting movement. The tripod joint is suitable for the displaceable and pivotable driving connection of two shaft ends, in particular in conjunction with drive trains or side shafts of motor vehicles.

Abstract: Tripod joints have a joint outer part and a joint inner part which are in driving connection to each other with cylindrical rolling bodies being connected in between and axial displacement and pivotability being ensured. The longitudinal axes of adjacent rolling bodies are arranged at an acute angle to one another. This may result in an improved mechanical behavior of the tripod joint particularly during pivoting. The tripod joints may be suitable for the displaceable and pivotable driving connection of two shaft ends, in particular in conjunction with drive trains or side shafts of motor vehicles.

Abstract: A drive train of a motor vehicle includes a power divider, a side shaft, a constant-velocity joint, an intermediate shaft, and a bearing unit. The intermediate shaft has first and second ends. The first end of the intermediate shaft is rotatably connected to the power divider and is mounted in the power divider with a first bearing, and the second end is located opposite the power divider and is connected to the side shaft via the constant-velocity joint. The bearing unit provides further mounting for the intermediate shaft between the first bearing and the constant-velocity joint. The bearing unit has a play oriented radially with respect to the intermediate shaft, and is able to exert a force oriented radially to the intermediate shaft on the intermediate shaft only after the play has been overcome.

Abstract: A tripod joints includes a joint outer part and a joint inner part. The joint inner part has a tripod star with ball pins, which transmits a drive torque from the joint inner part to the joint outer part via a pressure element and via rolling bodies which are arranged between the joint outer part and a running surface of the pressure element. The running surface of the pressure element is curved in the rolling direction of the rolling bodies. The force may be distributed more uniformly between the rolling bodies when large drive torques are intended to be transmitted. The tripod joint may be suitable for the displaceable and pivotable driving connection of two shaft ends, e.g., in conjunction with drive trains or half shafts of motor vehicles.

Abstract: A longitudinally installed power train for all wheel drive motor vehicles is provided. First, configuring a side output drive for the front axle drive with a gear pair is proposed. Second, providing an articulated shaft of the side output drive with a joint is suggested, which is arranged inside a gear of the gear pairing.

Abstract: A process for electrolytically processing a flat perforated item, comprising the steps of: moving the item in a transport direction to a treatment station where the item is contacted with an electrolyte, continuously mechanically wiping, in the presence of one of a cathodic item and an anode, and an anodic item and a cathode, a surface of the item using means for reducing the thickness of a diffusion layer depleted in metal ions adjacent the surface of the item, which means include a wiping roller extending perpendicular to the transport direction over the entire width of the item and in contact with the item; and moving the electrolyte in a direction substantially perpendicular to a plane of the item so as to direct the electrolyte only toward the perforations in the item and to convey the electrolyte through the in the item under pressure.

Abstract: A starter—generator system for motor vehicles permits implementation of various starting methods including direct start and impulse start. The system also facilitates additional operating modes, including generator operation and/or recuperation operation. The starter-generator system electric machine which can be used as the starter and the generator is to be connected by way of a planetary drive with a shaft train situated between an internal-combustion engine and a transmission, the planetary drive being at least partially usable as a centrifugal mass for impulse starting operations.
