Abstract
A drivetrain comprises a frame, two driving lines supported by the frame and supporting elements located within the frame and adapted to bear and/or sustain the driving lines themselves; the drivetrain further comprises at least an intermediate element directly interposed between the first driving line and the second driving line and adapted to share and transmit axial loads active in the first driving line into the second driving line and/or axial loads active in the second driving line into the first driving line and/or axial loads active into the first and/or second driving line into the frame.
Claims20
A drivetrain for vehicles, comprising:
- a frame;
- a first driving line supported by said frame and connectable to a first torque transfer element;
- a second driving line supported by said frame and connectable to a second torque transfer element;
- at least an intermediate element directly interposed between the first driving line and the second driving line;
- inner auxiliary bearings located in proximity of proximal ends of first transfer shaft of the first driving line and/or second transfer shafts of the second driving line within a mutual proximity area;
- and
- outer auxiliary bearings located in correspondence of opposite ends of the first transfer shaft and/or the second transfer shaft with respect to shafts' ends residing in the mutual proximity area.
A drivetrain for vehicles, the drivetrain comprising:
- a frame, having a central plane dividing the frame between a first half-space and a second half-space mutually opposite to the first half-space;
- and
- a first driving line supported by said frame, housed within the first half-space and connectable to a first torque transfer element, the first driving line having a first transfer shaft;
- a second driving line supported by said frame, housed within the second half-space and connectable to a second torque transfer element, the second driving line having a second transfer shaft, wherein the first and second transfer shafts being mutually facing each other;
- and
- at least an intermediate element directly interposed between the first and second transfer shafts, such that the intermediate element remains in direct contact with each of a first end face of the first transfer shaft and the second end face of the second transfer shaft, whereby axial forces from first transfer shaft and from the second transfer shaft are cancelled out by the intermediate element.
