Deaxial Dual-Shaft Transmission
In dual-shaft transmissions for vehicles with front-wheel drive or rear wheel driven vehicles with rear engines, the transmission input and output are axially offset and normally arranged on the same side of the transmission. Close to the output is the differential, which is integrated into the transmission housing. The power flow in dual-shaft transmissions in deaxial design is indicated in the functional diagram shown. In each gear, power is transferred over a gear wheel pair. Such a transmission is advantageous for front wheel driven vehicles, however, since an axial offset between the crankshaft position and the position of the drive shaft must always be bridged.
