  • Patent number: 11286976
    Abstract: An axially hyperstatic system softener for a transmission comprising a static component and a rotatable component mounted to each other by a double ball bearing having an outer race and an inner race includes first and second biasing elements in a rigid sleeve with the outer race disposed between the first and second biasing elements. The rotatable component includes two shafts splined together with the static component mounted to one of the shafts by the bearing double ball bearing. A shim between one of the biasing elements and the sleeve enables tuning the softener.

  • Patent number: 10837496
    Abstract: A gearbox has a main unit and a secondary unit provided with respective casings of respective gear transmissions and with respective hollow shafts connected by means of a drive shaft; the secondary unit transfers motion between two axes forming an angle of less than 180° and which can be removed after having released the drive shaft; the drive shaft is engaged in an angularly fixed and axially sliding manner to the hollow shafts and is axially locked, at least in one direction, by means of an axial retaining device, which is releasable; the axial retaining device is coupled to one of the hollow shafts, at an axial end which is facing towards the other of the hollow shafts; at least one opening may be formed between the two casings, so as to access such an axial end and release the axial retaining device.
