Abstract

The invention relates to a drive axle (A) for a self-propelled work machine, in particular an industrial truck, in which two traction motors (EF 1 , EF 2 ) spaced apart from each other and an electric motor (E 1 ) arranged axially in between them and provided to drive a hydraulic pump (P 1 ) are integrated. In order to utilize the installation space available optimally, according to the invention the electric motor (E 1 ) is arranged at right angles to the traction motors (EF 1 , EF 2 ), as based on the longitudinal center line of the drive axle (A).

Claims (11)

1. A drive axle for a self-propelled work machine, comprising:

two traction motors integrated into the drive axle and spaced apart from each other; and

an electric motor integrated into the drive axle and arranged axially in between the traction motors, wherein the electric motor is configured to drive a hydraulic pump, and wherein the electric motor is arranged at right angles to the traction motors with respect to a longitudinal center line of the drive axle.

2. The drive axle according to claim 1 , wherein the drive axle has a lateral insertion opening for the electric motor.

3. The drive axle according to claim 1 , wherein the electric motor is arranged horizontally in the drive axle.

4. The drive axle according to claim 2 , wherein the electric motor is arranged horizontally in the drive axle.

5. The drive axle according to claim 1 , wherein the traction motors and/or the electric motor are constructed as a three-phase synchronous motor.

6. The drive axle according to claim 2 , wherein the traction motors and/or the electric motor are constructed as a three-phase synchronous motor.

7. The drive axle according to claim 3 , wherein the traction motors and/or the electric motor are constructed as a three-phase synchronous motor.

8. The drive axle according to claim 4 , wherein the traction motors and/or the electric motor are constructed as a three-phase synchronous motor.

9. The drive axle according to claim 1 , wherein the work machine is an industrial truck.
