A distributor gear (1) with an adjustable coupling device (5) for a vehicle, in particular for a vehicle with a shiftable all-wheel drive is described for the distribution of an incoming drive torque via a drive shaft (2) to at least two output shafts (3, 4). It is moreover provided that an output shaft (4) can be connected via the coupling device (5) with the drive shaft (2) and that the coupling device (5) can be actuated via an electric motor (9) and a drive converter device (10) located between the electric motor (9) and the coupling device (5) for the conversion of rotary movement of the electric motor (9) into a translatory actuation movement for the coupling device (5). The electric motor (9) is incorporated into a gear (7).
Distributor gear (1) with an adjustable coupling device (5) for a vehicle, in particular for a vehicle with a shiftable all-wheel drive for the distribution of an incoming drive torque via a drive shaft (2) between at least two output shafts (3, 4) whereby one output shaft (4) can be connected with the drive shaft (2) via a coupling device (5), and where the coupling device (5) can be actuated via an electric motor (9) and a drive converter device (10) located between the electric motor (9) and the coupling device (5) for the conversion of rotary movement of the electric motor (9) into a translatory actuation movement for the coupling device (5) characterized in that the electric motor (9) is integrated in a gear (7).
Distributor gear according to one of the claims above, characterized in that the electric motor (9) is operated with transmission lubricant and that the cooling characteristics of the transmission lubricant are used for the electric motor.
