AXLE DRIVE AND CLUTCH DEVICE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE

摘要

The axle drive (100) comprises an electric motor (120) for producing a torque, a differential (180) for distributing a generated torque to wheels that are coupled to the differential. A switching device triggers or stops the transmission of torque from the electric motor to the wheels. The switching device acting as control gear (152) creates or interrupts a rotationally fixed connection between a spur gear of a stage of the transmission (140). An input shaft (142) of the transmission is directly coupled to an output shaft (122) of the electric motor. An independent claim is also included for electrically operated clutch unit.
