TRANSMISSION FOR A VEHICLE
DRIVE
March 25, 2021
A transmission for a vehicle includes a clutch unit connectable to an input shaft of the transmission and an electric motor connected to the clutch unit for transferring torque from the electric motor to the input shaft through the clutch unit. The transmission has a first gear component driven by the electric motor and a second gear component rotationally locked to the clutch unit by an engagement means. The first and second gear components are engaged with each other for transferring torque from the electric motor to the clutch unit. The transmission further has at least one bearing arranged for journaling the second gear component and carrying radial load caused by the electric motor when torque is transferred from the electric motor to the clutch unit. The engagement means is designed to allow a radial run out of the clutch unit relative to the second gear component.
