  • Patent number: 11959457
    Abstract: A series of planetary gearboxes includes a plurality of subseries of planetary gearboxes. Each of the plurality of subseries includes a planetary gear carrier of a planetary stage, at least two rolling bearings, and a planetary gear mounted on the at least two rolling bearings. The at least two rolling bearings in a first one of the first plurality of subseries have a first bearing width and in a second one of the first plurality of subseries having a second bearing width.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11209071
    Abstract: A planetary transmission includes at least two planetary stages. A sun shaft of a planetary stage of the at least two planetary stages is connected for transmission of torque via a coupling toothing system to a planetary carrier of a second transmission stage of the at least two planetary stages that follows the first transmission stage. The coupling toothing system is a flat notch toothing system. A drive train of a wind power plant, in which a corresponding planetary transmission is used as transmission, is also provided. A wind power plant that is equipped with a corresponding drive train is provided. An industrial application that has a corresponding planetary transmission as transmission is also provided.

  • Patent number: 8360654
    Abstract: The radial antifriction bearing has an outer ring, an inner ring, and a plurality or rolling bodies arranged between the inner ring and the outer ring in such a way that the inner ring is rotatably mounted relative to the outer ring, via the rolling bodies, and the outer ring has an inner chamber in which the inner ring and/or at least one inner ring section is arranged. The inner chamber is closed at one front side of the radial antifriction bearing by a shaped marginal section of the outer ring in such a way that the inner ring and/or the at least one inner ring section is destroyed when it is removed from the outer ring.

  • Patent number: 8282288
    Abstract: The invention relates to a double-row wheel bearing unit for a vehicle, comprising an axle journal fixed to the vehicle, and a wheel hub bearing a wheel flange rotatably mounted on said axle journal by means of two rows of rolling bodies spaced axially apart. In order to adapt the loading capacity of the rows of rolling bodies to the respective load conditions, the two rows of rolling bodies have different rolling circle diameters respectively adapted to the highest expected load.
