  • Patent number: 7878304
    Abstract: A gearbox arrangement comprising a main gearbox portion, a first gearbox section, and a second gearbox section. The first gearbox section comprises a differential assembly, wherein the differential assembly comprises a ring gear. The ring gear rotates about an axis. The second gearbox section comprises a power take-off assembly and a bearing plate defined by a plane. The axis and plane are parallel to one another. The gearbox arrangement further comprises a separator mounted to at least one of the first and second gearbox sections. Further, a guide is contained within at least one of the first and second gearbox sections.

  • Publication number: 20070169583
    Abstract: The invention relates to a gearbox arrangement (10) for a vehicle, preferably an industrial or agricultural goods vehicle. The gearbox arrangement (10) can be at least partially lubricated with lubricant (24) from a lubricant sump and comprises at least two gearbox sections (20, 22). Each gearbox section (20, 22) comprises a gearbox housing part (44, 46). The gearbox housing parts (44, 46) of the two gearbox sections (20, 22) are adjacent to each other and form part of a lubricant sump. In a normal operational mode, one or the other gearbox section (20, 22) can normally be operated.

  • Patent number: 6502674
    Abstract: A brake or a clutch for motor vehicles having a first component (10) and a second component (16, 18), that can be moved relative to each other. The first component (10) has a contact surface of a low cost aluminum or aluminum alloy. The second component contains a support component (16) to which a friction lining (18) is applied which can be pressed against the contact surface. For a cost effective configuration that makes it possible to absorb high levels of brake energy with high durability together with a very good heat transfer from the friction contact zone, it is proposed that the friction lining (18) be of an organic material of predominately carbon compounds, in particular of paper. Furthermore it is advantageous that the first or the second component (10) rotate at least partially in a lubricant.
