  • Patent number: 9018806
    Abstract: The present invention proposes a generator for arrangement on a shaft of an accessory gearbox of an engine with a stator and with a rotor which can be coupled to a shaft of the accessory gearbox of the engine and which is rotatably mounted relative to the stator, where a stator area receiving the stator can be separated from a rotor area receiving the rotor. The rotor can be supplied with cooling medium in the rotor area. It furthermore proposes an accessory gearbox of an engine with a drive shaft operatively connectable to a main shaft of the engine and with at least one generator arranged on a shaft of the accessory gearbox.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7918608
    Abstract: An axial bearing arrangement has at least two rolling-contact bearings (1, 2), each of which includes one outer ring (3, 4) and at least one inner ring (5, 6). The inner rings (5, 6) are axially fixedly mounted on a shaft (7). The outer ring (8) of a first bearing (1) is axially slideably located on a casing (9) by at least one elastically deformable tensioning element (8). The outer ring (4) of a second bearing (2) is axially slideably located on the casing (9) and engageable against at least one stop (10) of the casing (9), when moved in the axial direction.
