Claim 6:
7. A device for a vehicle axle (VA) of a two-track vehicle comprising:
a drive unit having an electric machine (EM), which is configured to output on the output side on at least one driveshaft leading to a vehicle wheel, wherein the at least one driveshaft is divided into a wheel-side shaft section and an axle-side shaft section which is configured to be coupled to one another or decoupled from one another by means of a formfitting clutch,
an actuator sleeve, arranged on a cylindrical sliding collar outer circumference, associated with an actuator;
a carrier ring, arranged in a rotationally-fixed and axially-displaceable manner on the wheel-side shaft section,
a drive gear wheel formed on an actuator shaft, which is in tooth engagement with outer gear teeth on an outer circumferential side of a sliding collar,
wherein the sliding collar, is arranged in a rotationally-fixed, but axially-displaceable manner on the axle-side shaft section, and the sliding collar is configured to be displaceable by means of a positioning force generated by an actuator between:
an open clutch state, in which the sliding collar is moved out of a formfitting connection with the axle-side shaft section, and
a closed clutch state, in which the sliding collar is moved into a formfitting connection with the wheel-side shaft section.
