1. A device for transmitting torque and axially securing torque-transmitting components for use in a planetary gear (P) having a planetary gear set (P1), comprising:
a first torque-transmitting component (1) comprising a plurality of axially projecting first projections (3) distributed over a circumference of the first torque-transmitting component (1) and with first gaps (4) arranged therebetween, the first torque-transmitting component (1) being a ring gear (11) of the planetary gear set (P1); and
a second torque-transmitting component (2) comprising a plurality of radially projecting second projections (5) with second gaps (6) arranged therebetween, the second torque-transmitting component (2) being a ring gear carrier (12) of the planetary gear set (P1),
wherein each second projection (5) on the second component (2) protrudes into a respective first gap (4) in the first component (1), and
wherein at least two of the second projections (5) comprise a section (8) that projects axially towards the first component (1) and is configured such that, when the device is installed, the section (8) rests axially against the first component (1) via an end face (9) of the section (8).
