Abstract
In a mechanical drive mechanism for a supercharger of an internal combusion engine, a rotor fastened to a rotor shaft is driven by the internal combustion engine's crankshaft, an electromagnetically activated separating clutch and a step-up gear. To create favorable structural dimensions of the supercharger drive mechanism in axial and radial extension and a favorable support for an input shaft of the step-up gear, the step-up gear is a planetary gear, with the input shaft supported in an axially projecting collar on the transmission case and the electromagnetically activated separating clutch located on the periphery of that collar. A clutch disk is to be located on one side of this bearing and a ring gear is to be located on the input shaft on the other side.
