A shaft coupling for the switchable connection of a first shaft to a second shaft arranged coaxially thereto, comprises the first shaft, which has on a circumferential surface a plurality of first ball tracks extending along an axis of rotation over at least a first section and a second section, the first ball tracks being arranged spaced apart from one another along a circumferential direction in the first section by first webs and in the second section by second webs, as well as a plurality of first balls arranged in the first section and a plurality of second balls arranged in the second section.

Shaft coupling and shaft for the shaft coupling

In a power-shift two-speed transmission for transmitting propulsion power, in particular propulsion power from an electric motor, within a motor vehicle drivetrain, possibly driven by electric motor, of a passenger car, by means of which a direct drive and a transmission stage with a transmission ratio that differs from the direct drive can be implemented and which has the three assembly units comprising an outer gear unit, a planet gear unit and a sun unit, it is provided for the propulsion power to be introduced into the transmission via the outer gear unit when propulsion power is being transmitted.

Shiftable two-speed transmission suitable for edrive

A transmission arrangement for a hybrid vehicle has an internal combustion engine and an electric machine. A first drive torque of the internal combustion engine and a second drive torque of the electric machine are transmissible to at least one drive shaft of the hybrid vehicle by the transmission arrangement. The transmission arrangement comprises a first planetary transmission with first components including a first sun gear, first ring gear and first planet carrier. A third drive torque is transmissible to a second planet carrier of a second planetary transmission by the first planet carrier. The second planetary transmission has second components including a second planet carrier, second sun gear and third sun gear. The second sun gear meshes with a first toothing of a second planet gear. The third sun gear meshes with a second toothing of the second planet gear. A drive shaft of the hybrid vehicle is driveable by the third sun gear.
