Abstract

The examples relate to a drive device for an electrified vehicle axle of a vehicle, with an electric machine which outputs via a transmission to drive shafts which lead to vehicle wheels of the vehicle axle, and with a coolant and/or lubricant module which supplies the electric machine and/or the transmission with coolant and/or lubricant. The electric machine, the transmission and the module being joined together to form an structural unit, in which the electric machine and the coolant/lubricant module may be flange-connected to the transmission in a manner to be spaced apart axially from one another, and, on its side which lies axially opposite the transmission. The electric machine having a radially protruding cantilever which bridges an axial spacing (Δx) from the coolant/lubricant module and which, at its free cantilever end, is attached in a force-transmitting manner via at least one bolt location (A) to the coolant/lubricant module, for example, to reduce operationally induced vibrations in the structural unit. In an example, at the cantilever end, a stop element may be provided with an adjustable stroke between a non-use position (N) and a supporting position (S). Before the bolt location (A) is tensioned fixedly, the stroke of the stop element can be adjusted, using up a tolerance gap, until in contact with the module supporting face, with the result that the cantilever end and the module can be braced to one another in a manner which is free from tolerance-induced component deformations.
