Abstract: A connecting arrangement for connecting a shaft to a component is provided. The connecting arrangement includes at least one adapter device with is connectable to the shaft at least in a force-fitting and/or form-fitting manner, and contact surfaces of the component and of the adapter device are configured in a manner matching each other to inhibit rotation relative to one another about a longitudinal axis of the adapter.

Abstract: A nut with a nut body with several clamping segments at an upper end face of the nut body has an internal thread with at least a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a first thread pitch that ends at a lower end face of the nut body opposite the upper end face. The second portion has a second thread pitch which is smaller than the first thread pitch. The internal thread may include a third portion having a third thread pitch at least partially located at the clamping segments, where the second portion is between the first and third portions. The third thread pitch may be the same as the first thread pitch.

Abstract: The invention relates to a connecting arrangement for connecting a shaft to a component. A tapered outer surface of an inner ring and a tapered inner surface of an outer ring are configured in a manner corresponding to each other. The outer ring surrounds the inner ring. A union nut surrounds the outer ring and the threaded piece. The union nut has an internal thread and the threaded piece has an external thread, wherein the internal and the external threads are configured in a manner corresponding to each other.

Abstract: A drive arrangement for a drive train of a vehicle is disclosed. In one aspect, the drive arrangement includes at least one transmission element configured to transmit a force and/or a torque and at least one joint. The transmission element and the joint are configured to be connected reversibly in a force transmitting manner and/or in a torque-transmitting manner.

Abstract: A housing cap for a joint and a joint arrangement with a housing cap are provided. The housing cap includes a bellows section and a joint section. The bellows section includes at least one recess in the form of a hole configured to permit dirt and fluids to pass out of the housing cap. The bellows portion may also be provided with surface features such as funnel-shapes configured to enhance transport of contaminates and fluids to the at least one recess.

Abstract: An arrangement with a joint and a gearwheel body for a transmission is provided in which the joint is a constant velocity joint arranged at least partially in an interior space enclosed by the gearwheel body. The constant velocity joint has inner and outer hub tracks and a bearing cage arranged to maintain an essentially constant control angle between tangential ball contact points with the inner and outer tracks while the bearing cage holds the balls in a plane.
