  • Patent number: 6176804
    Abstract: A planetary gear train for a wind power station having at least one rotatable blade, including a frame, a driven shaft coupled to the frame and rotated by the at least one blade, a planet carrier coupled to the frame and the driven shaft, the planet carrier being structured and arranged to rotate with the driven shaft, at least one planet gear rotatably coupled to the planet carrier, each of the at least one planet gear having helical toothings, a ring gear coupled to the frame and having helical toothings engaging with the toothings of each of the at least one planet gear such that the ring gear is rotatably operative with each of the at least one planet gear, and a sun gear coupled to the frame and having helical toothings engaging with the toothings of each of the at least one planet gear such that the sun gear is rotatably operative with each of the at least one planet gear.

  • Patent number: 6158897
    Abstract: A gear including a frame, a first shaft, a first gearwheel arranged on the first shaft and in engagement with a second gearwheel mounted on a second shaft, the second shaft including bearings at both sides of the second gearwheel between the frame and the second shaft. The second shaft revolves about the bearings placed on each side of the second gearwheel. At least one spring is fitted to act with a force upon an outer race of rolling members of one of the bearings. A glide fitting is provided between a circumferential face of the outer race and the gear frame or a connected part. The force effect applied by the spring(s) is transferred through the rolling members of the bearing to the inner race of the bearing and further to the other bearing placed at the opposite side of the gearwheel whereby the play in both bearings between the rolling members and the bearing races is eliminated.

  • Patent number: 5836231
    Abstract: A radial-piston hydraulic motor and method for regulating a radial-piston hydraulic motor including one or more cylinder groups, each cylinder group having piston mechanisms that move radially back and forth. The piston mechanisms include a piston and a press wheel. The volume per revolution of the motor can be changed in one or more stages so that the press wheels of one or more of the piston mechanisms come out of contact with a cam ring. The hydraulic motor also includes a closing valve for closing the flow of working pressure to one or more of the piston mechanisms.
