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.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An assembly, comprising: a first component configured as a region of 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, which coincides with and is opposite to 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, wherein the at least one first deformation is a plurality of deformations that are located on the first component and that are distributed uniformly in the circumferential direction of the first component, the at least one second deformation is a plurality of deformations that are located on the second component and that are distributed uniformly in the circumferential direction of the second component, and the respective first and second plurality of deformations are all located in different circumferential positions around the first component.

2. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first deformations are arranged consecutively in the circumferential direction of the first component.

3. The assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the second deformations are arranged consecutively in the circumferential direction of the first component.

4. 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.

5. The assembly according to claim 4 , wherein the second component is a planetary carrier of the planetary gearing.

6. A vehicle comprising: an assembly including: a first component configured as a region of 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, which coincides with and is opposite to 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, wherein the at least one first deformation is a plurality of deformations that are located on the first component and that are distributed uniformly in the circumferential direction of the first component, the at least one second deformation is a plurality of deformations that are located on the second component and that are distributed uniformly in the circumferential direction of the second component, and the respective first and second plurality of deformations are all located in different circumferential positions around the first component.
