  • Publication number: 20240035560
    Abstract: A planetary transmission includes a transfer device for transferring a supply medium. First and second transmission parts rotate relative to one another, with the transfer device having an annular groove on a surface of the first transmission part or of the second transmission part. The transfer device has bores distributed over a periphery. The first transmission part includes a separate bush which points towards the second transmission part and has a sealing groove with a sealing ring axially on both sides of the annular groove. The bush is arranged rotationally fixed on a rest of the first transmission part and designed to float in an axial direction with sufficient play in order to tilt out of a coaxial relative position with respect to the first transmission part and/or to the second transmission part to the extent of a relative movability of the respective sealing ring within the associated sealing groove.

  • Patent number: 11885312
    Abstract: A wind turbine includes a dynamoelectric machine including a liquid-cooled stator and a rotor interacting with one another. The stator includes a magnetically conductive body and a winding system which is embedded in slots of the magnetically conductive body and which includes a main insulation arranged between a conductor of the winding system and a slot wall and including at least one recess provided in a cooling-channel impression of the main insulation to form at least one axial cooling channel extending between the main insulation and the slot wall, so that the at least one cooling channel borders the slot wall without insulation in direct contact with the slot wall. The winding system includes end windings which are also liquid-cooled. A can separates the stator and the rotor from one another and enables different cooling media for the stator and the rotor.
