Patent ID: 7819771

Claim:
An asymmetrical, active axle gear for cooperating with a differential ( 23 ) arranged in a differential housing ( 2 ), comprising a transmission case a side shaft ( 7 ) arranged in said transmission case, which is able to transfer a drive torque provided by said differential ( 23 ) to an output drive, a shiftable epicyclic gear system ( 10 ) arranged in said transmission case having a planet carrier ( 17 ) with planet wheels which are provided with an external tooth system and are meshed with a second central wheel ( 12 ) connected torque proof with said side shaft ( 7 ), a third central wheel ( 13 ) which, can be braked relative to said transmission case, over a second brake clutch ( 5 ) which can be shifted via an actuator and a first central wheel coupled with said differential housing ( 2 ), wherein said planet carrier ( 17 ) can be indirectly or directly braked relative to said transmission case over a first brake clutch ( 5 ) which can be shifted via an actuator, characterized in that said planet carrier ( 17 ) is arranged between an abutment lamella ( 18 ) and a first brake lamella ( 22 ) which is arranged axially moveable relative to said abutment lamella ( 18 ), wherein said first brake clutch ( 5 ) by applying an operative force is capable of reducing the distance between said abutment lamella ( 18 ) and said first brake lamella ( 22 ) to generate a brake force.
