  • Publication number: 20230407957
    Abstract: A transmission includes a first housing part, a second housing part connected to the first housing part, and bearings accommodated in the first housing part and supporting an input shaft in a rotatable manner. The input shaft projects through a recess that extends through the second housing part, and a cover part is connected to the first housing part. The cover part or a flange part inserted into the cover part accommodates a sealing system, which provides sealing with respect to the input shaft. The second housing part has an inlet for lubricating oil, which terminates in an axial bore being open with respect to the side of the first housing part facing the cover part, and in a second annular space. The opening of the axial bore facing the cover part is covered and/or sealed by the cover part, and rolling elements of two bearings at least also restricting and/or surrounding the second annular space together with the first housing part.
