Abstract
A device () for transmitting torque from a first shaft () to a second shaft () of a transmission device, in particular a counter shaft transmission. The device () has a first gear () supported on the first shaft () by a bearing device () and which, in an assembled state, engages a second gear () arranged on the second shaft (). The first gear () can be shifted into an activated state in which the first gear is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the first shaft (). A supporting mechanism () is associated with the first gear (), next to the bearing device (), via which tilting moments present and acting on the first gear (), at least in a connected state, are transmitted to and supported by the first shaft ().
