  • Patent number: 11781602
    Abstract: A multi-plate clutch is specified, with an outer plate carrier, an inner plate carrier and a plate pack which consists of alternately arranged outer plates and inner plates and is arranged radially between the outer plate carrier and the inner plate carrier, wherein a first group of the outer plates is mounted on the outer plate carrier and/or a first group of the inner plates is mounted on the inner plate carrier with a larger circumferential backlash than the other outer plates or inner plates, respectively, which are mounted on their plate carrier with no or smaller circumferential backlash, wherein the outer and/or inner plates with larger circumferential backlash in each case directly adjoin at least one plate with no or smaller circumferential backlash. Furthermore, an electrically operated drive train and a method for producing a multi-plate clutch are specified.

  • Patent number: 11773917
    Abstract: A multi-plate clutch is disclosed, including an outer plate carrier, an inner plate carrier, and a set of plates of alternately arranged radially between the outer plate carrier and the inner plate carrier and which is delimited by two end plates engaging at opposite ends of the set of plates, wherein each end plate rests against an annular axial supporting contour on the end face facing away from the set of plates, wherein the supporting contours differ in their effective diameter at which the supporting contours contact the associated end plate, and wherein the supporting contours apply an axial force on the set of plates such that the plates are elastically deformed into a conical shape.

  • Patent number: 10718385
    Abstract: The invention relates to a gear shift device for a motor vehicle transmission, comprising a first and a second gearbox component which are rotatable relative to each other around a gearbox axis, a friction ring which is connected to the first gearbox component comprising a conical frictional surface, a plurality of first disks and a plurality of second disks. The first and second disks form a multi-disk clutch, the first disks being coupled to a synchronization element in a rotationally fixed manner, and the synchronization element comprising, axially adjoining the conical frictional surface of the friction ring, a conical mating surface for speed synchronization between the first gearbox component and the first disks. Further, the first disks are designed as a synchronization disk where the synchronization element is integrally formed thereon and/or one of the first disks is designed as a disk support coupling all first disks in the circumferential direction in a form-locking manner.

  • Patent number: 10302148
    Abstract: A shifting device for a motor vehicle transmission has a first coupling component, a second coupling component rotatable about a transmission axis (A), an inner friction ring which has a conical surface on a radially outer face, an outer friction ring which has a conical surface on a radially inner face, and an intermediate friction ring having a C-shaped ring cross section, including a friction cone connected to the second coupling component for joint rotation with and for axial displacement with respect to the second coupling component, while the inner friction ring and the outer friction ring are connected to the first coupling component for joint rotation with and for axial displacement with respect to the first coupling component. The friction cone extends between the conical surfaces of the inner friction ring and outer friction ring.
