Abstract

An auxiliary drive is provided for an internal combustion engine and includes a shaft supported in a housing by means of radial and axial bearings and a gear having the shaft non-rotatably secured thereto. The gear is driveable by a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine via intermediary gearing. The auxiliary drive also includes a power take off flange non-rotatably secured to a free end of the shaft for transferring power to a working engine such as, for example, a cement mixer. The shaft with the radial and axial bearings and the gear are integrated into the crankcase of the internal combustion engine and the gear is located directly between the radial bearings.
