A dual-clutch transmission includes two clutches for respectively connecting an input shaft in a rotationally fixed manner to a sub-transmission input shaft. Two layshafts each have one output gear arranged coaxially with respect thereto. A first, second, and third forward idler gear are each arranged coaxially with respect to the one layshaft. A fourth and fifth forward idler gear are each arranged coaxially with respect to the other layshaft. One of the output gears is a larger output gear having a greater diameter or a greater number of teeth than the other, smaller output gear. The first forward idler gear forms a second gear stage, the second forward idler gear forms a third gear stage, etc. The gear stages have a decreasing transmission ratio in the order stated.

Dual-clutch transmission

A hybrid dual-clutch transmission includes a first sub-transmission and a second sub-transmission, a first countershaft, a first output gear non-rotatably connected to the first countershaft, a second countershaft, a dual clutch, which has a first clutch assigned to the first sub-transmission and a second clutch assigned to the second sub-transmission, a separating clutch and an electric motor. The electric motor is or can be coupled to the separating clutch and to the dual clutch.

Hybrid dual-clutch transmission

A hybrid dual-clutch transmission includes a first countershaft sub-transmission, a second countershaft sub-transmission, a first clutch assigned to the first countershaft sub-transmission, a first actuating chamber, a first centrifugal oil chamber, a first power transmission region, a first inner lamella carrier, and a first outer lamella carrier. The transmission also includes a second clutch assigned to the second countershaft sub-transmission, a second actuating chamber, a second centrifugal oil chamber, a second power transmission region, a second inner lamella carrier, and second outer lamella carrier. The transmission further includes a third clutch to connect to an internal combustion engine and which has a third actuating chamber, a third centrifugal oil chamber, a third power transmission region, a third inner lamella carrier, and a third outer lamella carrier. The first, second, and third power transmission regions are arranged radially stacked one on top of the other and axially at least partially overlapping.

A multi-stage transmission having at least four planetary gear stages which are disposed one behind the other along a main axis of rotation and which in each case have a sun gear, a planetary gear support, and a ring gear is disclosed. The multi-stage transmission has a bearing which supports the sun gear of the second planetary gear stage and the ring gear of the third planetary gear stage axially with respect to one another.

Multi-stage transmission

A multi-stage transmission for a motor vehicle is disclosed. The transmission has a transmission input shaft, at least four planetary gear stages which are disposed one behind the other along a main axis of rotation, and at least one combined gear shift unit which is configured as a brake and has a rotatable coupling element as well as a friction-locking unit and a form-locking unit connected in parallel with the friction-locking unit, which are in each case provided in order to connect the rotatable coupling element fixedly to the housing. One of the planetary gear stages is associated with the combined gear shift unit and includes a transmission element which is permanently connected non-rotatably to the rotatable coupling element. The planetary gear stage associated with the combined gear shift unit includes a further transmission element which is permanently connected non-rotatably to the transmission input shaft.

Multi-stage transmission for a motor vehicle

A transmission for a motor vehicle, such as a motor vehicle EVT, is configures so that the number of teeth of the first planet gear of the epicycloidal gear train, operatively connected to the output toroidal disks by the first sun gear, and of an output element of the epicycloidal gear train form a ratio not equal to one. The transmission ratio of the toroid variator can be varied in such a way, and the number of teeth of the first planet gear of the epicycloidal gear train and of an output element of the epicycloidal gear train are configured in such a way that an output shaft speed approximating zero can be selected according to the variator.
