  • Patent number: 12631250
    Abstract: A planetary gearbox includes a housing having a pair of stops, a planet bearing mounted in the housing, and a planet gear rotatable on the planet bearing. The planet bearing is formed from an axially aligned planet pin and a thrust washer. The thrust washer includes two integrally-formed projections, each facing one of the stops to prevent rotation of the thrust washer about the planetary axis. The thrust washer also includes first thrust surfaces disposed on a first side of the thrust washer facing the housing, first lubrication channels formed axially opposite the first thrust surfaces and extending radially outwards, second thrust surfaces circumferentially offset from the first thrust surfaces and disposed on a second side of the thrust washer facing the planet gear, and second lubrication channels formed axially opposite the second thrust surfaces and extending radially outwards.

  • Patent number: 12624753
    Abstract: A planet carrier includes a central axis, a pair of carrier shells, planet wheels and riveting devices. Each carrier shell has planetary wheel sections and connecting sections. The connecting sections are arranged as forming sections recessed relative to the planetary gear sections. Each of the planetary wheels is disposed in a planetary wheel section and the riveting devices connect the carrier shells at the connecting sections. Each riveting device is oriented in a circumferential direction around the central axis, is formed in one piece from one material, and has an H-shape. The H-shape is formed from a web section arranged as a spacer between the carrier shells and a rivet section with a pair of single rivets. Each single rivet has a rivet head disposed on one of the carrier shells to fix the one of the carrier shells on the web section.

  • Publication number: 20240125382
    Abstract: A planet carrier assembly includes a rotational axis, a carrier and a carrier flange. The carrier has circumferentially spaced first driver elements formed thereon and the carrier flange has circumferentially spaced second driver elements formed thereon. The second driver elements are interconnected with the first driver elements at common contact areas in an interlocking manner. The carrier flange is axially secured to the carrier in an axial direction by plastically deformed material at the common contact areas. In an example embodiment, the plastically deformed material is displaced from the first driver elements or the second driver elements.

  • Patent number: 10377201
    Abstract: An elastomer coupling for an electromechanical actuator, having a drive part and a driven part, wherein either the drive part or the driven part has multiple radially outwardly extending webs arranged so as to be distributed about an axis of rotation, and the respective other part has radially inwardly extending webs arranged on the inner side of a tubular body, wherein a radially inwardly and a radially outwardly extending web engage into one another and form a pocket in which there is received an elastic molded body produced from an elastomer, wherein, in at least one pocket, there is received a spring element which generates a pretensioning force, which spring element is attached either to an inwardly extending or to an outwardly extending web and is spring-loaded against an adjacent web.
