Abstract
A motor-vehicle gear arrangement for a power-assist gearing in a motor vehicle, that includes a gear, a flange arrangement including at least one flange, wherein the gear is located adjacent to the flange in the flange arrangement so as to rotate about a common axis, and at least one connecting element to connect the gear to the at least one flange. This gear arrangement, or a flange for this gear arrangement, is advantageous due to the fact that the ribs are formed on the flange laterally within a plane perpendicularly to the rotational axis so as to reinforce the flange.
