Method for mounting a retarder, in particular permanent magnet retarder, in a vehicle drive train

摘要

The invention relates to a method for assembling a retarder, in particular a permanent magnet retarder, in a vehicle drive train which has a cardan shaft for the transmission of drive power, with the following steps: so that there are two or three cardan shaft sections with mutually facing end faces; - Attaching an adapter intermediate piece, which has one or more receptacles for mounting the retarder, to the mutually facing end faces of two drive shaft sections, so that the adapter intermediate piece is enclosed on both sides in the axial direction between the drive shaft sections; - Form-fitting or integral connection of the adapter intermediate piece to the end faces or in the region of the end faces, so that the two drive shaft sections are connected to one another in a rotationally fixed and / or rigid manner via the adapter intermediate piece; - Mounting the retarder on the at least one receptacle of the adapter intermediate piece.
