Abstract
The multi-ratio drive hub with at least three gears comprises a hub spindle (1) on which a driver (5) and a hub sleeve (13) are rotatably mounted. The driver (5) can be coupled with the hub sleeve (13) through at least three different drive torque paths with different step-up and/or step-down ratios. For the controlling of the torque transmission paths controllable coupling elements are provided which are all formed as controllable pawl ratchets (37, 63) and are controlled by an axial relative movement of their pawl carriers and a lift-out ramp. Such three-speed hubs have relatively small axial dimensions.
