  • Method for optimally operating transmissions
    Patent number: 8276450
    Abstract: A method for optimally operating mechanically loaded, moved, particularly rotating components, such as gearboxes, wherein in the operating stage damage accumulation is used to evaluate the influence of a collective load on the lifespan of the loaded rotating components, the moving components (1) being divided into a plurality of segments (5-10) for determining individual collective loads (6; 18).
    Type: Grant

  • Bevel gear, in particular a hypoid bevel gear
    Publication number: 20060156842
    Abstract: A bevel gear, in particular a hypoid bevel gear comprising an output shaft that is mounted in a housing. A bevel wheel, which co-operates with a drive pinion, is allocated to the shaft. A single-stage or multi-stage gear is mounted upstream of the hypoid stage, or a drive shaft can be inserted in a modular manner upstream of the stage.
