  • Patent number: 11619292
    Abstract: A gearing, in particular a coaxial gearing or a linear gearing, comprising a tooth system, a tooth carrier having guides, teeth received within the guides for engagement with the tooth system, wherein the teeth are mounted within the guides to be displaceable in the direction of their longitudinal axis relative to the tooth carrier, a cam disk for driving the teeth along the respective longitudinal axis of the teeth, wherein at least one of the teeth respectively has a tooth flank area having tooth flanks, and a tooth body, wherein, between the tooth body and the tooth flanks, one shoulder respectively is provided, which projects back from the tooth body to the inside towards the tooth flank.

  • Patent number: 11619285
    Abstract: Coaxial gear mechanism, with a toothing system which is oriented axially with regard to a rotational axis of the coaxial gear mechanism; a tooth carrier with axially oriented guides; teeth which are received in the guides for engagement with the toothing system, the teeth being oriented with their respective longitudinal axes axially in the guides and being mounted in the guides such that they can be displaced axially; a cam disc which can be rotated about the rotational axis for the axial drive of the teeth; and a housing, in which a setting element for mounting the cam disc is provided, at least one bearing with rolling bodies being arranged between the setting element and the cam disc.
