Abstract:
1. An angle drive assembly for the driveline of a motor vehicle with a permanently drivable first driving axle and a connectable second driving axle, comprising a sideshaft with a first axis of rotation; an input shaft which is arranged coaxially relative to the sideshaft and which is rotatably drivable around the first axis of rotation; an intermediate shaft which, by first and second bearing mechanisms, is supported in a housing so as to be rotatable around the first axis of rotation; a clutch which is arranged coaxially relative to the first axis of rotation, wherein the clutch comprises a clutch input part which is connected to the input shaft, and a clutch output part which is connected to the intermediate shaft, wherein the clutch input part and the clutch output part can be coupled to one another for optionally transmitting torque to the second driving axle, wherein in a closed condition of the clutch, the second driving axle is driven, and in an open condition of the clutch, the second driving axle is non-driven; and an angle drive with a ring gear which is firmly connected to the intermediate shaft and which is arranged coaxially relative to the first axis of rotation, and with a pinion which is supported so as to be rotatable around a second axis of rotation and which engages the ring gear, wherein the second axis of rotation is arranged at a right angle relative to the first axis of rotation; wherein, with reference to the second axis of rotation, the first and the second bearing mechanisms are arranged on the same side and wherein the clutch and at least one of the first and second bearing mechanisms are arranged on different sides of the ring gear.
