  • Patent number: 9835244
    Abstract: A planetary gear train for a wind power plant includes a planetary stage rotating in a gear train housing, a spur gear stage downstream of the planetary stage, a sun wheel shaft which is non-rotatably connected to a sun wheel of the planetary gear stage, and a hollow shaft which is coaxially surrounded by a spur gear of the spur gear stage and is non-rotatably connected to the spur gear. The sun wheel shaft and the hollow shaft are non-rotatably connected to each other by a toothed coupling, with an outer toothing of the sun wheel shaft meshing with an inner toothing of the hollow shaft. The planetary gear train includes oil-guide ducts which produce a connection between an oil inlet connected to the gear train housing, on the one hand, and the toothed coupling and the axial contact surface, on the other hand.
