Abstract
A device for connecting, in a rotationally fixed manner, a shaft to at least one component which is rotationally supported on the shaft, such as a gear wheel of a gear in a transmission. The device includes an actuating element that is rotationally fixed, but axially slides on the shaft, such that when the element is actuated by an actor, the element actively, frictionally communicates with the component to at least approximately equalize a rotational speed difference, between the component and the shaft. The actuating element can be actuated by the actor with a force to frictionally connect the component to the shaft in a rotationally fixed manner. The device further includes a holding device, which retains the actuating element in a shift condition essentially equivalent to the rotationally fixed condition of the component without further actuation of the actor.

27. A device (1) for connecting, in a rotationally fixed manner, a shaft (2) and at least one component (3) which is rotatably supported on the shaft (2), the device (1) comprising:
-
at least one actuating element (6, 15, 16) being supported by the shaft (2) in a rotationally fixed, axially slidable manner; an actor (5), which with an actuating force axially displaces the at least one actuating element (6, 15, 16) into an active frictional connection with the at least one component (3) such that the at least one component (3) and the shaft (2) rotate at essentially an equal speed; and a holding device for retaining the active frictional connection between the at least one actuating element (6, 15, 16) and the at least one component (3), without the actor (5) providing a further actuating force, such that the at least one component (3) is connected, via the at least one actuating element (6, 15, 16), in a rotationally fixed manner with the shaft (2). - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52)
