  • Publication number: 20050236249
    Abstract: A transfer transmission (1) is described having a regulatable coupling device (5) for a motor vehicle, particularly for a motor vehicle having engageable all-wheel drive, for distributing an input torque introduced in a housing (28) via an input shaft (2) to at least two output shafts (3, 4). One output shaft (4) can be connected via the coupling device (5) with the input shaft (2) and the coupling device (5) can be actuated via one electric motor (7) and one input converter device (8) situated between the electric motor (7) and the coupling device (5) for converting a rotator motion of the electric motor (7) to a translatory actuating motion for the coupling device (5). One axle offset between the input shaft (2) and the output shaft (4) connectable there is bridged via one CVT unit (6). The electric motor (7) is integrated in the housing (28).

  • Publication number: 20050096174
    Abstract: A differential (2) for a vehicle is proposed for the apportionment of a drive torque conducted via a drive shaft on a crown gear (7). The drive torque is engendered by a motor (1) onto two output shafts (3, 4) and differential is to serve for the compensation of a difference in speed of rotation between the two output shafts (3, 4). The crown gear (7) is located in an area between the motor (1) and a drive wheel (6) of a vehicle (29) while a semi-independent suspension assembly (10) is to be found between the output shafts (3, 4) in the area between the motor (1) and the other drive wheel (5) of the vehicle, whereby the crown gear (7) and the semi-independent suspension assembly (10) are bound together via a shaft (8).

  • Publication number: 20040220007
    Abstract: A distributor transmission (8) having at least three shafts (11, 12, 13) for distributing a drive torque (M_GE) as needed to at least two drive axles (4, 5). A first shaft (11) is operatively connected with the first drive axle (5) and can be loaded with the drive torque (M_GE). The second shaft (12) is operatively connected with the second drive axle (4) and a torque (M_E) of a machine device (14) on a third shaft (13) can be applied which influences a degree of distribution (P_VA/P_GES) of the drive torque (M_GE) between the drive axles (4, 5).
