  • Patent number: 9091247
    Abstract: A wind power generator having a nacelle, which is mounted to an upper end of a support tower, supports in rotary manner a rotor, and is oriented around a rotation axis by an orienting device provided with at least one gearmotor. The gearmotor presents an output gear coupled with a crown gear fixed to the support tower and is hinged to the nacelle so as to rotate around a fulcrum axis, which is substantially parallel to the rotation axis under the thrust of an actuation device.

  • Patent number: 6021554
    Abstract: A tool fittable to a spindle of a machine for assembling motor reducers; the machine assembling a pinion onto a shaft of the motor reducer by exerting compression, force from the spindle, to force the pinion onto the shaft and form an interference fit. The tool has a tubular body with a cavity for housing the pinion; and a number of lock devices housed inside the tubular body, each having a movable stop member which projects inside the cavity and against which rests a shoulder of the pinion to directly transmit the compression exerted by the spindle to the pinion downstream from the shoulder which separates the toothed end portion of the pinion from the rest of the pinion.

  • Patent number: 5953964
    Abstract: An angular reducer with two or three reduction stages, wherein the casing is designed to selectively house two or three reduction stages, while maintaining unchanged, when switching from two to three stages or vice versa, the mutual positions of the axis of the drive shaft and the axis of the driven shaft; and wherein the casing has a number of inner supports for supporting the two alternative gear trains.

  • Patent number: 5875690
    Abstract: A multistage angular reducer includes a casing, a drive shaft, a driven shaft connected to a user element, and a number of reduction stages housed inside the casing between the drive shaft and the driven shaft. At least one stage is defined by a pair of gears including a bevel pinion and a bevel ring gear. The casing may selectively house two or three reduction stages, while maintaining unchanged, when switching from two to three stages or vice versa, the mutual positions of the axis of the drive shaft and the axis of the driven shaft.

  • Patent number: 5634374
    Abstract: The reduction gear box comprises a housing, an input shaft having its longitudinal axis horizontal and coupled to a drive shaft, an output shaft having its longitudinal axis horizontal and coupled to a utilizer shaft, and several drive reduction stages within the housing between the input shaft and the output shaft. One stage after the first stage includes a gear pair constituted by a hypoid bevel pinion and a bevel crown gear with mutually perpendicular axes, the axis of the pinion being offset from the axis of the crown gear by an offset distance equal to the algebraic sum of the offset of interaxial spacing between the other gear stages measured in the direction of the offset distance of the gear pair such that the axes of the input shaft and of the output shaft intersect at right angles and lie in the same horizontal plane.
