Abstract
The invention relates to a synchronizing device with a synchronizer body, a sliding sleeve, a gearwheel with coupling toothing and a synchronizer ring which is displaceable between synchronizer body and coupling toothing axially in and counter to the synchronization direction(s). With the specification of being able to position the synchronizer ring reliably in a neutral position, it is proposed that the synchronizer ring is fixed to the synchronizer body in the neutral position by means of a spring device.
Claims16
A synchronizing device comprising:
- a synchronizer body;
- a sliding sleeve axially slidable on the synchronizer body;
- a gearwheel, adjacent to the synchronizer body, including coupling toothing;
- a synchronizer ring displaceable between the synchronizer body and the coupling toothing axially in and counter to a synchronization direction;
- a spring biasing the synchronizer ring into a fixed neutral position relative to the synchronizer body, the spring having a first side supported by the spring force on a first stop element on the synchronizer ring, the first stop element including a ring element located coaxially with respect to the synchronizer ring and is fixed on the synchronizer ring in a first receptacle.
A synchronizing device comprising:
- a synchronizer body;
- a sliding sleeve axially slidable on the synchronizer body;
- a gearwheel, adjacent to the synchronizer body, including coupling toothing;
- a synchronizer ring displaceable between the synchronizer body and the coupling toothing axially in and counter to a synchronization direction;
- a spring biasing the synchronizer ring into a fixed neutral position relative to the synchronizer body, the spring configured with a first side supported by the spring force on a first stop element provided on the synchronizer ring;
- a second stop element fixedly connected to the synchronizer body and on which the spring is supported axially by a second side.
A synchronizing device comprising:
- a sliding sleeve axially slidable on a synchronizer body;
- a gearwheel, adjacent to the synchronizer body;
- a synchronizer ring displaceable between the synchronizer body and the gearwheel axially in a synchronization direction;
- a spring, biasing the synchronizer ring into a fixed neutral position relative to the synchronizer body, having a first side spring force biased on a first stop element, which is elastomeric plastic, on the synchronizer ring.
A synchronizing device comprising:
- a sliding sleeve axially slidable on a synchronizer body;
- a gearwheel, adjacent to the synchronizer body;
- a synchronizer ring displaceable between the synchronizer body and the gearwheel axially in a synchronization direction;
- a spring biasing the synchronizer ring into a fixed neutral position relative to the synchronizer body, the spring providing a spring force acting on the synchronizer ring and the gearwheel.
