Abstract
A drive arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a drive shaft, a coupling device, and a coupling arrangement. The drive shaft is connectable with the coupling device for transmission of force solely via the coupling arrangement. The coupling arrangement has a first toothing arrangement connectable with the drive shaft so that the first toothing arrangement is fixed with respect to rotation relative to the drive shaft and a second toothing arrangement connectable with the coupling device so that the second toothing arrangement is fixed with respect to rotation relative to coupling device. The first toothing arrangement and second toothing arrangement engage when the drive shaft and coupling device are coupled together for transmission of force.
Claims8
A drive arrangement comprising a drive shaft, a coupling device, and a coupling arrangement, wherein said drive shaft is connectable with said coupling device for transmission of force solely via said coupling arrangement, wherein said coupling arrangement comprises a first toothing arrangement connectable with said drive shaft so that said first toothing arrangement is fixed with respect to rotation relative to said drive shaft and a second toothing arrangement connectable with said coupling device so that said second toothing arrangement is fixed with respect to rotation relative to said coupling device, and wherein said first toothing arrangement engages said second toothing arrangement in a meshed engagement when said drive shaft and said coupling device are coupled together for the transmission of force.
