Abstract
The present invention relates to a drive arrangement for a wheel unit including a wheel unit defining an axial direction and a radial direction, a first torque transmission device and a second torque transmission device. The first torque transmission device is connected in a torsionally rigid manner to the wheel unit and the second torque transmission device is connected in a torsionally rigid manner to the first torque transmission device using a connecting device such that an arrangement substantially coaxial to the axial direction is formed. The wheel unit has a wheel unit end section protruding, along the wheel axis, into a receptacle of the second torque transmission device. A protective unit is arranged between the wheel unit end section and the second torque transmission device, the protective unit being configured to protect the wheel unit end section against damage by the second torque transmission device.
