Abstract
The invention relates to a synchronization device ( ) for torque-transmitting components ( ) of a transmission comprising a disk set ( ) which has several disks ( ) and a synchronizer sleeve ( ) connected to a shifting device ( ). The synchronizer system ( ) has mechanisms ( ) that divide the torque among the torque transmitting components ( ) into an initial lower torque and a subsequent larger synchronizing torque. This is preferably achieved by a gradation of the disk ( ) that enables a successive engagement of the disks on the torque transmission.
