ABSTRACT:
A torque transmission unit is connectable to an internal combustion engine in order to drive a secondary unit with different transmission ratios in dependence upon the rotation rate of the internal combustion engine so that in the case of a low rotation rate of the internal combustion engine the transmission ratio is greater and in the case of a great rotation rate of the internal combustion engine the transmission ratio is less. The torque transmission unit comprises a planetary gear, a free-wheel and a clutch. By the clutch a part of the planetary gear can be coupled to or separated from another part of the planetary gear or a stationary support part, according to choice. The clutch is hydraulically actuable. The pressure for the hydraulic actuation of the clutch is delivered by a hydraulic pump which is integrated into the torgue transmission unit and is independent from the lubricant circuit of the internal combustion engine.
