Abstract

An assembly of a first component designed as an axle or a shaft on a second component, is provided, in particular for a vehicle. The first component is secured to the second component at least in the axial direction of the first component. At least one of the components has at least one first deformation on one side, the deformation being used to secure the first component on the second component in a first direction which coincides with the axial direction. At least one of the components has at least one second deformation on the same side, the second deformation being used to secure the first component on the second component in a second direction which coincides with the axial direction and is opposite the first direction.

Claims

1. An assembly, comprising:

a first component configured as an axle or shaft;

a second component on which the first component is assembled, wherein the first component is secured on the second component at least in an axial direction of the first component;

at least one of the first and second components has, on one side, at least one first deformation by which the first component is secured on the second component in a first direction coinciding with the axial direction; and

at least one of the first and second components has, on the same side, at least one second deformation by which the first component is secured on the second component in a second direction which coincides with the axial direction and is opposed to the first direction.

2. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein

the first and second deformations are on the same component.

3. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein

the at least one component with the at least one first deformation has a plurality of first deformations by which the first component is secured on the second component in the first direction, wherein the plurality of first deformations are arranged consecutively in the circumferential direction of the first component.

4. The assembly according to claim 3, wherein

the at least one component with the at least one second deformation has a plurality of second deformations by which the first component is secured on the second component in the plurality of second direction, wherein the second deformations are arranged consecutively in the circumferential direction of the first component.

5. The assembly according to claim 4, wherein

the plurality of first deformations and the plurality of second deformations are arranged distributed uniformly in the circumferential direction of the first component.

6. The assembly according to claim 3, wherein

the plurality of first deformations and a plurality of second deformations are arranged distributed uniformly in the circumferential direction of the first component.

7. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein

the at least one first deformation and the at least one second deformation are on the second component.

8. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein

the first component is an axle on which a planetary gear of a planetary gearing is rotatably mounted.

9. The assembly according to claim 8, wherein

the second component is a planetary carrier of the planetary gearing.

10. A vehicle, comprising:

at least one assembly of a first component designed as an axle or shaft on a second component, wherein the first component is secured on the second component at least in the axial direction of the first component, and further wherein

at least one of the first and second components has, on one side, at least one first deformation by which the first component is secured on the second component in a first direction coinciding with the axial direction; and

at least one of the first and second components has, on the same side, at least one second deformation by which the first component is secured on the second component in a second direction which coincides with the axial direction and is opposed to the first direction.
