  • Patent number: 11524574
    Abstract: An axle drive for a vehicle comprising at least one drivable vehicle axle oriented transversely to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, said axle drive comprising an electric motor; a drive shaft that extends in parallel with the longitudinal direction between a first end and a second end and that is configured to receive drive power from the electric motor at an input section and to output said drive power at least partly to the vehicle axle via a bevel gear arranged at the first end; and a brake, in particular a parking brake, comprising a brake disk that is arranged at a brake section of the drive shaft, wherein the electric motor is arranged coaxially to the drive shaft and the input section of the drive shaft is arranged between the brake disk and the first end with respect to the longitudinal direction.

  • Patent number: 9873288
    Abstract: A hub arrangement for twin wheels comprises a stationary carrier; an intermediate hub which is rotatable about an axis of rotation and which can be driven by a drive shaft; a differential gear having an input which is connected to the intermediate hub; a first wheel hub which is connected to a first output of the differential gear; and a second wheel hub which is connected to a second output of the differential gear. The hub arrangement furthermore comprises a first braking apparatus which is effective between the stationary carrier and the intermediate hub and a second braking apparatus which is effective between the stationary carrier and the second wheel hub or between the intermediate hub and the second wheel hub. In this respect, the first braking apparatus and the second braking apparatus can be actuated separately from one another.
