Abstract: A gearbox arrangement comprising a main gearbox portion, a first gearbox section, and a second gearbox section. The first gearbox section comprises a differential assembly, wherein the differential assembly comprises a ring gear. The ring gear rotates about an axis. The second gearbox section comprises a power take-off assembly and a bearing plate defined by a plane. The axis and plane are parallel to one another. The gearbox arrangement further comprises a separator mounted to at least one of the first and second gearbox sections. Further, a guide is contained within at least one of the first and second gearbox sections.

Abstract: The invention relates to a gearbox arrangement (10) for a vehicle, preferably an industrial or agricultural goods vehicle. The gearbox arrangement (10) can be at least partially lubricated with lubricant (24) from a lubricant sump and comprises at least two gearbox sections (20, 22). Each gearbox section (20, 22) comprises a gearbox housing part (44, 46). The gearbox housing parts (44, 46) of the two gearbox sections (20, 22) are adjacent to each other and form part of a lubricant sump. In a normal operational mode, one or the other gearbox section (20, 22) can normally be operated.

Abstract: A drive arrangement for a conveying device for the conveying of a flowing medium is described, particularly for the conveying of air or fluid. The drive arrangement contains a drive engine whose rotational speed can be varied, an auxiliary motor that can be continuously controlled and a summing gearbox. The summing gearbox is connected on its output side with the conveying device and on its input side with the drive engine and the auxiliary motor. Furthermore, the drive arrangement contains a control unit that controls the auxiliary motor. In order to make possible an improved control or regulation of the conveying performance compared to linear, rigidly driven conveying devices, it is proposed that at least one magnitude of the condition of the flowing medium be detected by at least one sensor and to control or regulate the auxiliary motor of the drive arrangement by the control unit as a function of at least one magnitude of the condition of the medium.

Abstract: A venting or pressure release system releases pressure from a transmission housing through which extends a transmission shaft. A lower part of the transmission housing forms a collector in which fluid collect. A conduit communicates the collector with a storage container which is substantially sealed against the transmission housing. An overpressure in the transmission housing forces fluid from the collector through the conduit into the storage container. A pressure-release conduit communicates the transmission housing above the collector to the storage container. A shutoff device closes the pressure-release conduit when the transmission shaft is rotating and opens the pressure-release conduit when the transmission shaft is not rotating. This makes possible a rapid compensation of fluid after the transmission has been turned off so that the fluid level can be reliably determined. The shutoff device may be a pilot-controlled valve or a fluid barrier.
