  • Publication number: 20240093776
    Abstract: A gear unit includes a shaft and a housing part. A bearing is received in the housing part, and a flange part is connected to the housing part. The flange part is sealed from the shaft using a first and a second labyrinth seal, and the first labyrinth seal is axially spaced apart from the second labyrinth seal. The shaft has an elevation that is arranged axially, e.g., in the axial direction, between the first labyrinth seal and the second labyrinth seal.

  • Publication number: 20230296167
    Abstract: A gear unit includes a shaft, rotatably mounted via a first bearing, a housing part, and a cover connected to the housing part. The shaft has a threaded region onto which a nut is screwed, and a spacing sleeve and a disk are arranged between the nut and an inner ring of the spacing sleeve. The greatest outer diameter of the disk is greater than the greatest outer diameter of the spacing sleeve; the greatest radial distance of the disk relative to the rotational axis of the shaft is greater than the greatest radial distance of the spacing sleeve relative to the rotational axis of the shaft; and/or the radial spacing region covered by the disk and relative to the rotational axis of the shaft contains the radial spacing region covered by the spacing sleeve.

  • Publication number: 20230287971
    Abstract: A gear unit includes a housing having a lower part and a cover part, e.g., fitted onto the lower part, and an output shaft and a driving shaft. The lower part includes a first support, a second support, a base plate, and side walls. Each side wall is connected, e.g., welded, the first and second supports. The first support is a closed annular structure, e.g., a closed ring. The second support is an open annular structure, e.g., an open ring. A first bearing, e.g., a double bearing, for rotatably supporting the output shaft is received in the base plate. A second bearing for rotatably supporting the output shaft is received in the bearing receiving part. The base plate is connected, e.g., welded, to the second support and to the bearing receiving part.

  • Patent number: 11402008
    Abstract: A gear includes helical toothing and is composed of segments, and each segment has a toothing section that has a helical toothing. Each toothing section of each segment is connected via first and second webs as well as connecting sections to the connection region, the connecting sections, and the first and the second webs are set apart from each other or are at least sectionally set apart from each other, e.g., such that the segment has a plurality of axially uninterrupted recesses, in particular three or more. The axial region covered by the first webs is set apart from the axial region covered by the second webs, in particular so that the segment has at least one recess that is uninterrupted in the circumferential direction.
