DOG CLUTCH

摘要

A dog clutch for the controllable positive connection of two drive components situated coaxially around an axis of rotation. Two ring parts form the connection, including an inner ring and an outer ring that are movable axially relative to each other under external control to selectively make and break the connection therebetween. To produce the dog clutch simply and economically, the ring parts include teeth to form radial gearing with each other. At least one of the two ring parts is produced without machining, while its toothed part that forms the radial gearing is produced by punching and stamping.

1. A dog clutch for a controllable positive connection of two drive components situated coaxially around an axis of rotation, said clutch comprising:
two ring parts that form the controllable connection, including an inner ring and an outer ring that are movable axially relative to each other under external control to selectively make and break the connection, wherein the ring parts each include respective interengageable teeth to form a radial gearing connection with each other, and wherein at least one of the two ring parts is produced without machining and includes a respective toothed part that forms the radial gearing connection and is produced by a punching and stamping process.
