Abstract
A transfer case () for distributing a driving torque of an input shaft () between two drivable output shafts () is described. The transfer case () is realized with two controllable and adjustable frictionally engaged clutches (k_VA, k_HA), which are arranged between the input shaft () and the output shafts () and whose transfer capabilities can be respectively adjusted via separate actuating devices (). A driving torque can be distributed between the drivable output torques () in dependence upon the set transfer capabilities of the clutches (k_VA, k_HA). One clutch (k_HA) can also be radially enclosed by the other clutch (k_VA).
