Abstract
A device for guiding torque of one drive shaft () connected with a driving appliance () onto a first or a second output shaft (). A torque fed via the drive shaft () can be applied, respectively, to one of the two output shafts () depending on a control of a changeover device (). The changeover device () comprises one electromagnetic clutch () which can produce a power flow between the drive shaft () and the first or the second output shaft (or). The electromagnetic clutch () comprises a coupling element () which is guided and displaced in an axially and rotatable manner and is fixedly connected with the drive shaft () and depending on a current supply of the electromagnetic clutch () produces the power flow between the drive shaft () and the first or the second output shaft (or).
