Abstract
A differential transmission for transmitting a torque to an axle of a motor vehicle, has at least one driveshaft and at least one output shaft, which are connectable in torque-transmitting manner via a clutch within a housing of the differential transmission, wherein the clutch is actuatable via an actuating device, wherein the actuating device is mounted on the housing, wherein the at least one output shaft is mounted in a rotatable manner via a bearing, wherein the bearing is mounted on the actuating device; wherein a stop is arranged on the at least one output shaft such that an actuating force that is provided for actuating the clutch and acts at least in an axial direction is supported on the stop at least via the actuating device and the bearing.
Claims12
A differential transmission for transmitting a torque to an axle of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- at least one driveshaft and at least one output shaft that are connectable to transmit torque via a clutch within a housing of the differential transmission;
- wherein the clutch is actuatable via an actuating device,
- wherein the actuating device is mounted on the housing,
- wherein the at least one output shaft is mounted in a rotatable manner via a bearing,
- wherein the bearing is mounted on the actuating device,
- wherein a stop is arranged on the at least one output shaft such that an actuating force that is provided for actuating the clutch and acts at least in an axial direction is supported on the stop via at least the actuating device and the bearing;
- and
- wherein forces in a radial direction are transmitted from the bearing to the actuating device.
A drive arrangement for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a drive unit and a differential transmission, wherein the differential transmission comprises:
- at least one driveshaft and at least one output shaft that are connectable to transmit torque via a clutch within a housing of the differential transmission;
- wherein the clutch is actuatable via an actuating device,
- wherein the actuating device is mounted on the housing,
- wherein the at least one output shaft is mounted in a rotatable manner via a bearing,
- wherein the bearing is mounted on the actuating device, and
- wherein a stop is arranged on the at least one output shaft such that an actuating force that is provided for actuating the clutch and acts at least in an axial direction is supported on the stop via at least the actuating device and the bearing;
- and
- wherein forces in a radial direction are transmitted from the bearing to the actuating device;
- and
- wherein the differential transmission is provided to transmit a torque from the drive unit to two wheels of an axle, wherein the torque is introducible into the differential transmission via an input shaft and the at least one driveshaft is connected to the input shaft to transmit torque directly via a toothing or via a differential.
